Mady Kaye Goes Cabaret - The Magic of Mercer! Mady Kaye first presented this original show at Zachary Scott Theater in Austin, TX in 2005, as part of the Z-Cabaret Concert Series. The show was a hit, and featured favorites from the Johnny Mercer songbook as well as stories about his life.
Now Ms. Kaye presents this wonderful show on a CD featuring her favorite Austin musicians: Eddy Hobizal, pianist extraordinaire; Paul Spikes, on acoustic bass and splendid harmonica; Art Kidd, favorite drummer; and Mitch Watkins, legendary guitarist. The Magic of Mercer presents fourteen gems of Mercer's prolific song catalog, from his humorous "The Old Music Master" to his heartbreaking "One for My Baby" and "I Remember You."
Mady Kaye weaves her usual magic in these lush interpretations of Mercer classics, revealing the emotional heart of the song. At times understated, at times over-the-top, Ms. Kaye's storytelling is masterful and spellbinding. This is a singer who knows her subject, and she tells it as if she just happened to be at one of those famous Hollywood parties of the 1940's. Pure listening joy!

More than just a music CD- it's an entire show
author: Lauren Lewis
This CD is just a delight. It more than a music CD- it's an whole show. Mady takes you through Mercer's music, songs and life with a wonderfull series of ancedotal tales offered between song selection. It is reminiscent of old radio in it's compelling monologue and well discribed visuals yet strong enough in music, and perfomance to be fresh and new. I love this CD.
