About This:
With their extraordinary flute/sax man, Jim Repa, Lynne & Mike weave a unique tapestry of the songs written by "the master of them all," Irving Berlin. From rag to swing, from the most tender ballads to the exuberance of Berlin's unforgettable show tunes, Lynne and Mike are clearly having great fun with their audience at the Foxborough Center for the Performing Arts in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Lynne's rendition of "Russian Lullaby", "You Can Have Him" and "What'll I Do" will stir your soul. Mike lends a mischievous version of "You'd Be Surprised" just before the two present a sublimely joyful version of "Puttin' on The Ritz," accents included! You won't soon forget Jim Repa's simple and profound performance of "God Bless America." You'll revel as Lynne, Mike & Jim spin along the magical avenue of "Let's Take An Old Fashioned Walk." As they used to say, "it's all here," from "Easter Parade" to "Steppin' Out With My Baby" to the simplest, great song ever written, "Always." Berlin never wasted a lyric or a melody. In this album, neither do Lynne and Mike.
