Boston
cabaret performers, Bobbi Carrey & Tomi Hayashi, will debut their
new CD, "BETWEEN THE WARS: Music from 1918 to 1941" at The Blacksmith
House at the CAMBRIDGE CENTER FOR ADULT EDUCATION (56 Brattle Street,
Cambridge, MA - Resv: 617-876-7468 - http://www.bobbicarrey.com/)
on Saturday December 7th at 8:00 pm. Tickets are $10.
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 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 with Tomi Hayashi,
offering cabaret performances that combine social history with popular
American song. Bobbi 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."
