Album Description
One hundred years ago, Las Vegas - the glittering oasis of the Nevada desert - was born, and the famous Strip was created on a grand scale. Fantastic entertainers like Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Elvis Presley, Wayne Newton and Liberace are irrevocably connected to this ultra-glamorous adult playground. To celebrate 100 years of Las Vegas entertainment, Japanese composer Fumio Yasuda adapted and orchestrated some of the greatest show tunes ever written, all with German-born singer Theo Bleckmann in mind. Bleckmann, who sings with a cultivated, pure and deeply personal voice, never emerges as the interpreter of the works; instead, he becomes each song, fusing his persona, the text and the melody into a united front. The close artistic understanding between Bleckmann and Yasuda is palpable in every stage of this production! Theo Bleckmann has collaborated with Meredith Monk, Philip Glass and Laurie Anderson. Also features the Kammerorchester Basel, which has worked with Bobby McFerrin, Philippe Herreweghe, Ton Koopman and Uri Caine. Las Vegas Rhapsody Record Release Show featuring Theo Bleckmann and Fumio Yasuda (with a string quartet led by Todd Reynolds), June 2 at Joe's Pub in New York.
