5 out of 5 stars Remembering Joe Maphis with this CD.......1999-01-02

Hearing this CD takes me back to the late 50's and early 60's when I would go see him perform. This CD is the best recordings I have found of Joe Maphis.

3 out of 5 stars NOT A GREAT SHOW, BUT FUN, NONETHELESS . . . ........2007-06-20

HAZEL FLAGG is a curious animal. The show, ' . . . a satire on the manipulation of people, especially the general public," is based on Ben Hecht's screenplay for the 1937 Carole Lombard/Frederick March vehicle, "Nothing Sacred," itself based on a story by James Street. Hecht is also responsible for the musical's book, with lyrics by Bob Hilliard. Jule Styne, fresh from the success of HIGH BUTTON SHOES and GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES, not only wrote the music but acted as the show's producer as well.

HAZEL's disappointing 190 performances (compared to over 700 for each of the previous shows) can be blamed on that old Broadway bugaboo: bad book. "The show did lose something in its transformation to a musical. The songs and dances tended to drag what was originally a fast moving story and, as many other show writers have found, satire is something that rarely works as a musical. Ben Hecht, who was successful as a playwright, was not at ease with a libretto and the inexperienced producer should have recognised this and brought in help. Even so, Jule Styne's score, whilst not quite top notch Styne, does include the enchanting 'How Do You Speak to an Angel?' and the popular 'Every Street's a Boulevard in Old New York." (from the liner notes by Rexton S. Bunnett)

Marc Miller, writing in "The TheaterMania Guide to Musical Theater Recordings," says HAZEL FLAGG was " . . . intended as Helen Gallagher's stepping-stone to stardom in the title role of a Vermont lass who's thought to be dying of radium poisoning and is transported to New York by EVERYWHERE magazine for a supposed last fling. (Guess what happens to her prognosis.) Gallagher works very hard here, and her contralto belt is strong and secure. She's supported by such Broadway reliables as Benay Venuta, Jack Whiting, . . . and Thomas Mitchell (who doesn't sing a note but took home a Best Musical Tony anyway). . . . the show does sport amusingly elaborate vocal arrangements by Hugh Martin."

The score is not nearly as dull as Mr. Miller would like us to believe. In addition to "Angel" and "Every Street," the score includes "I Feel Like I'm Gonna Live Forever," "You're Gonna Dance with Me, Willie," and the rather bizarre "Laura de Maupassant," all delivered in fine style by Ms. Gallagher. And "Salomee," here sung by Dean Campbell, became a minor hit for Dinah Shore.

The CD is blessed with a bunch of fun bonus tracks: a young, in-wonderful-voiced Eddie Fisher singing "How Do You Speak to an Angel?", Dinah Shore's recording of "Salomee," Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians performing "I Feel Like I'm Gonna Live Forever," and six tracks by Ms. Venuta, including "When Frances Dances with Me" and "Waltz Me Around Again, Willie" ("Willie Fitzgibbons who used to sell ribbons/and stood up all day on his feet/Grew very spooney on Madeline Mooney,/Who'd rather be dancing than eat./Each evening she'd tag him, to some dance hall drag him,/And when the band started to play,/She'd up like a silly and grab tired Willie,/Steer him on the floor and she'd say,/Waltz me around again, Willie . . . " What fun. The bonus songs alone are worth the price of admission.

5 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Blend of Classical and Jazz.......2000-08-26

John Costa is incredible. I've have never heard anyone blend Classical and Jazz to this degree. John Costa demonstrates a tasty blend of Bach, Beethoven, Tatum and Peterson.

5 out of 5 stars Art Tatum would have loved this recording!.......2000-05-08

There are very few jazz pianists who have not been inspired by or aspired towards the genius capabilities of Art tatum. Johnny Costa was one of the very fortunate few that reached the realms of Tatum. The chordal voicings, harmonics, runs, and split and suspended tempos are all there, but most true to the Tatum tradition are the beautiful flights of musical imagination. Not a Tatum copy but Costa gems using the Tatum canvas of colors! "Tea for Two" was a Tatum tour de force that very few pianists would ever want to tackle after Tatum's versions, but Costa plays his OWN VERSION so well, that Tatum would have smiled with appreciation. Tatum was like that, and he loved pianists. Musically, Costa and Tatum were of kindred spirits. It is a shame that both of these pianists were not given enough top drawer treatment and concert appearances on a world class venue during their lifetimes. In Costa's case, it is a sad statement that he was tragically underrecorded. Anyone who was a jazz pianist and ever heard the musical backgrounds on the Mr. Rogers Neighborhood show knew there was a hidden but not unheard genius pianist at work! Johnny Costa should have recorded as many albums as say, Oscar Peterson, Tatum, Waller, Brubeck, Evans, etc, etc. He also shares a sad similarity with tatum in that in the last few years of his life efforts were made by others who knew of his musical importance, to get as much of it within the remaining time on tape. Sadly, Mr, Costa left this world before much of his works could be recorded. Like Art Tatum, many young, learning, carefully listening pianists just forming their styles will now have two great musical mountains to climb, along with many others, but the Tatum and Costa musical mountains will always stand alone!

5 out of 5 stars S'Wonderful.......1999-08-14

This album of classic jazz treasures is absolutely wonderful. Costa's talent was immeasurable. On his albums, as well as on Mister Rogers Neighborhood (His fingers are the ones behind that tinkling piano music you hear all through the show) he improvises the particulars of each tune and plays it by ear, adjusting boring and familiar melodies into refreshing music. I am from his home town of Pittsburgh, and at the age of 15, it's perhaps odd for me to be writing this, but growing up hearing Costa's music on television, no matter how juvenile the show is, you can't help but love a good piano arrangement. I picked up his CD quite by chance one day, and I can't tell you how glad I was to have. His albums are responsible for introducing me to jazz long before the current swing revolution, and for that, I am grateful to him.

            This is definitely an excelent piece of music. one star less because the label is not good. I tried two different CD and they both skip. the label probably does not use a good recording system. Be carefull and willing to return it.
