notes
In 1995,The Flying Pig Theatre, a small independent company in Pittsburgh PA, produced the play "TIPTON" by Kellee Van Aken.
"TIPTON" was the story of Billy Tipton, a woman who dressed like a man in the 1940's to get work in jazz bands. More than just a tale of gender intrigue, the play was also a bittersweet love story. The play "TIPTON" went on to become one of the most acclaimed productions in Pittsburgh in 1995.
Meg Murray sang the vocals for the jazz project co-written and produced by Jeff Muller (Jes Grew, Eva Cassidy, Rich Chorne, Karl Straub) and the music of the play is now being re-released in CD form, with 5 original songs from the play, and an extra bonus track, also written by Jeff Muller and sung by Meg Murray, called "Carolina Whisper" from the CD "Jes Grew".

author: Mark K.I had heard about the play and recording project TIPTON but never actually got to listen to the recording, until I got the CD. (All the cassettes were distributed in '96) It lives up to it's legend. Jeff Muller produced a great record, Timm Biery and John Previti are amazing, Chris Boyd on piano leaves the perfect space for Meg Murray to break your heart with her voice. This record is really beautifully done. BRAVO!
