Music house “Jazz and Classics” presents!

A premiere of the “Hollywood love stories” show from the English jazz trio “Puppini Sisters”!

On St Valentine’s Day, February, 14, 2012 in Moscow Teatr Estrady

“Jazz and Classics” music season autumn/winter 2011 opened with the concerts of magnificent Jane Monheit, the “Blake” quartet and eccentric Lisa Ekdahl and closed with a magic Christmas concert of the “Radio Classic Angels” kids choir and maestro Igor Krutoi. Now it is time to announce the forthcoming concerts of the world’s greatest jazz and classical stars.

On St Valentine’s day a sparkling vocal trio “The Puppini Sisters” will bring a touch of glamorous retro to the Moscow Teatr Estrady. The ladies have brough back to life the long-forgotten songs of the 30-s – 50-s, spicing them up with the stage designs and elegant feminine pin-up dresses. 
But back in 2004, when Marcella Puppini, Stephanie O’Brien and Kate Mullins created their own Sisters, it never crossed their minds to try and copy the enchantments of a historic songbook. The three met in the same jazz school, and their resumes were very different: Kate (the blonde) had sung in the heavy metal band Killed In Action; Marcella (the brunette) had recorded the dance hit Revolution after serving time in a punk group; as for Stephanie (the redhead), she came from a classical choir and played a lot of violin and she was already making a name for herself in the jazz world, singing with different bands in London and also working as a violinist and harpist.
Now they have released a new album, “Hollywood”. In other words: Hollywood in eleven songs. Or, rather, ten new versions, plus Hollywood, a collective composition by the Puppini Sisters which breathes with the love they share for that space-time enchantment represented by Hollywood's great songs. So here you have Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, together with Good Morning from Babes in Arms, Singin’ in the Rain, the song I Feel Pretty from West Side Story…With such a rigorous selection, not one of the great Hollywood composers has more than one song featured in this album: Gershwin contributes I Got Rhythm, and there is Kurt Weill's September Song, Cole Porter's True Love, Henry Mancini's Moon River, and also Nino Rota's most beautiful incursion into Hollywood, Parle plus bas, the love-theme from The Godfather ("Speak Softly Love") sung in French.

That is going to be an evening filled with retro romance!
