The songs were carefully selected by Gabler's nephew, the famed comedian, performer, and writer, Billy Crystal. The 26 songs featured here showcase the wide variety of talent and genres Gabler worked with during his legendary career. As the founder of New York's famous Commodore Music Shop and its namesake label (both the country's first independent jazz record company and first reissue label) as well as a forward-thinking executive at Decca Records, Gabler had an immeasurable impact on popular music from the 1930s to today. Billy Crystal continues to pay tribute to his late uncle with his one-man show, 700 Sundays. 700 Sundays, an autobiographical journey, is an original two-act play in which Billy Crystal plays numerous characters that have influenced who he is today. It deals with his youth, growing up in the jazz world of Manhattan, his teenage years, and finally adulthood. It is about family and fate. Crystal not only talks about "Uncle Milt," but includes much of the music heard on Billy Crystal Presents: The Milt Gabler Story.

	Cat. No.: 087494600062 Barcode: 0874946000628 Label: Marsalis Music CD Release Date: 3 February			HARRY CONNICK JNR \| Chanson du Vieux Carré TRACK LISTING Someday You'll Be Sorry Panama Ash Wednesday Chanson Du Vieux Carre Bourbon Street Parade Petite Fleur Fidgety Feet Luscious New Orleans I Still Get Jealous That's A Plenty Mardi Gras In New Orleans Chanson du Vieux Carré, the third disc in the Marsalis Music label's series Connick on Piano. This album places a spotlight on Connick's talents as an arranger. Among the clearest indications of Connick's orchestral mastery are the playful backgrounds that support the trumpet solo on 'Bourbon Street Parade', the sultry echoes of Ellington on 'Luscious' and the dark urgency and drama as the band casually mixes moods and time signatures on 'Ash Wednesday'. Add three new Connick compositions and some strong piano (in solo on such tracks as "Someday You'll Be Sorry" and "New Orleans," and in support throughout), and you get one of the most complete showcases to date for the leader.
