Between the World Wars,
America was on a wild roller coaster ride and American pop music,
like all of society, was dramatically transformed by the tumultuous
decades between 1918 and 1941. Through songs by such writers as Irving
Berlin, Jerome Kern, the Gershwins, Sammy Fain and Johnny Mercer,
Between the Wars explores the events of the times, from the post war
highs of the frenzied 20s to the lows of the Depression, and back
up the long hill to recovery and ultimately WW II.
Bobbi & Tomi, along with
horn player John Clark, will be presenting selections from the CD,
tracing the evolution of pop music from the "square" rhythms and jangling
player pianos of 1918 to the hot Charleston rhythms of the 20s and
on into the "Golden Years" of the 30s where they discover swing and
follow it to the smooth powerful sound of the early 40s. The show
will remember a time when the "Greats" like Sophie Tucker, Al Jolson,
Fats Waller, Rudy Vallee, Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire thrilled America
with their unique talents and contributions to the "Great American
Songbook."
Having escaped from corporate
America, Bobbi Carrey founded Nowandthen Productions, offering cabaret
performances that combine social history with popular American song.
Ms. Carrey and Tomi Hayashi both perform regularly in the New England
area. Shows have included "The Evolution of American Pop Music: from
Rag to Rock n' Roll," "Music of the 1930s: from Swing to Swoon" and
"Irving Berlin: the Voice of Everyman."
