Free Music Review: Wonderful Theatre! Fantastic Arrangements
Hit: 5 Stars
Groovelily is a fantastic group who takes chances and this album is a win. GROOVELILY/A LITTLE MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT MUSIC makes me feel like I am watching the show. I love the layered textures and the wonderful musicality of the pieces. As usual, the vocals and the violin soar.
I have enjoyed most of Groovelily's efforts, but this one stays in the player. I hope to actually see it on stage someday.
GROOVELILY/A LITTLE MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT MUSIC Poster
This CD documents the songs New York trio GrooveLily wrote and performed for director Tina Landau's musical take on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Don't be fooled by an album title that brings to mind A Little Night Music, however. We are not in Sondheim territory here, but in a benign, lite-jazzy, lite-funky environment. In the liner notes, Landau explains that the show was "GrooveLily's dream of Shakespeare's play." And so the band, led by violinist-singer Valerie Vigoda, wrote (and performed onstage) songs inspired by the characters; they are grouped thematically on the CD. Alas, perhaps the endeavor worked better on stage, especially for the songs where the lyrics are not by the Bard ("When I dream, without trying/I can float, I can climb" and other such banalities). In the end, the recording lacks both the dramatic thrust of good musical theater and the catchy hooks of good pop songs. --Elisabeth VincentelliBroadway & Vocalists Music CDs
