"Christine's Refrigerator" is John Margolis' debut CD, and also introduces the formidable writing team of John Margolis and Don Rosler. On this CD, they have created a beautiful and original songbook that fully displays their talents as songwriters and producers and John's gifts as a vocalist, arranger and pianist.

This CD is unique in sound and sensibility. There is a strong classical texture, with shades of influences that include Randy Newman, Tony Bennett, Stephen Foster, Poulenc, Kurt Weill, Edith Piaf, Astor Piazzola, Chopin and Tom Waits.

The "sneak preview" version of "Christine's Refrigerator" has already garnered an impressive bandwagon of fans on NPR, who heard the "sneak preview" version on the "Jonathan Schwartz Show," and who also heard the title track featured on NPR's "All Things Considered" (as part of the Kitchen Sister's "Hidden Kitchens" series). 2 songs from this CD have already been prominently featured in films, including one on Showtime/HBO.
