New release Club Vaudeville

The new CD has been released!

Club Vaudeville takes you back to the musical melting pot of the burlesque night clubs of the 1920s and 30s. During the Post World War I era, it was in these night clubs of Paris, Berlin and New York that jazz, folk, and classical music blended together and mixed with eccentric entertainment theatre, known as variety theatre. This all comes together in Club Vaudeville, a place where night revelers and the extravagant meet.
Club Vaudeville is a collection of remarkable adaptions of famous French, German an American songs of the time.

Listen to and buy Club Vaudeville on:
