Alexand(er|ra) Yst I haven't heard music like Lorenzo's Music's work anywhere before, though I'm not familiar with cabaret. I'd love to here more! It's hard to choose a favorite track between Old Old Story, All's Good That Ends Well, and Oh Oh Oh. The saxophone and bass in this album sound fantastic. Favorite track: Old Old Story.

Inamorata Found and put it down I'm tired enough Off the top of your head Take 'em by the shore Bind up your easy mark What's it gonna fix Mistimed your play The random hour Just put your name on the thing Used to understand It's sorry we're shut not sorry we're closed tonight is up or so I wanna tell you my whisper wire companion schill Chorus This time around with your chin against the curb you nail your colors to the pole this time around, you can't see behind no matter, you gotta, wanna, Inamorata Did the song carry it along I turned it up see where it shows side by, side by side by, side by side by, side by side by, side Turn on the tap go on with you what ought'a be done what ought to be Chorus 2x

about

Bazar, from longtime cabaret rockers Lorenzo's Music, is a surreal sonic safari that finds leaders Tom Ray and Mark Whitcomb fiddling about with both discombobulated pop tunes and slew-footed R&B-inflected rockers that owe a lot to everyone's favorite ash can saint, Tom Waits. The CD's bass-heavy lead cut, "Old Old Story," has a bittersweet swagger about it that ought to appeal to both Waits fans and the legions of folks who were thrilled by Leonard Cohen's mid-life move into contemporary cabaret fare.

The same is true of the louche rumba "All's Good That Ends Well." As always, Lorenzo's stylish, gravel-voiced singer Ray is in complete control of his striking pipes as he dips and sways through a fractured musical landscape peopled by beautiful losers, tempestuous lovers and twisted back-alley creatures who look good even when they're falling hard.

The CD's packaging may be simple, but don't let that fool you. These guys are one of the most sophisticated outfits in the area. If they were based on one of the coasts, they'd be penning soundtracks.
