Midwest Record Review…another rave for A Very Chaise Lounge Christmas

MODERN SONGBOOK
CHAISE LOUNGE/A Very Chaise Lounge Christmas:  Nothing beats a non gloomy Christmas down at the bar.  Lounging it up on originals and classics together, this is not strict 90s lounge revival sounds as the crew goes deeper into genre blending on their newest platter.  Easy rolling stuff that has lounge, pop, rockabilly, honky tonk and smatterings of other left of center sounds that show us what space age pop is like in the 10s.  As much as we loved them last time out, we love them even more now as this is a quasi-retro juggernaut of cool in top form.  It’s so groovy you can play it year round.  The hype sheet calls it an instant classic and they aren’t kidding.  Check it out.

This just in from the esteemed jazz writer Ken Borgers (also a  DJ at KKJZ in Long Beach, and JazzKnob.org) A review of “A Very Chaise Lounge Christmas”

 “Chaise Lounge is a delicious, subtle, swinging ensemble that, to borrow a phrase from Duke Ellington, is beyond category.  Steve Allen’s hip “Cool Yule” and the Kay Starr hit “The Man with the Bag” will bring a smile to jazz fans, and “Mr. Santa” out-Chordettes the Chordettes.  There’s even a non-annoying version of Garrison Keillor’s least favorite holiday song, “Little Drummer Boy,” which someone should pass along to him as proof that in the proper hands, anything can swing.  Add a little rockabilly and a couple of reimagined classics and here, at last, is new music for the season!”

Thanks to everyone who came out to The Barns last night.  That is my idea of big fun.

Hope we get to see you all in December for the Christmas show at the Hamilton.  Santa hats will be worn

What DO you wear?

 Marilyn’s first night out in her wedding dress was a bittersweet event. The wedding was beautiful, the groom handsome, the parents proud, but the date was terrible. Just 4 days after the tragedy of 9/11 Marilyn was set to say her vows and start her romantic journey. Despite the sadness in the air, guest rejoiced in a family celebration. Maybe even more so against such a backdrop of heartache. As we come to another anniversary of 9/11 we also come to another anniversary for Marilyn and Frazier. This year though, their anniversary date is also the date of the Lime Kiln Theater show for Chaise Lounge. SO the real question is this?

What I did on My summer Vacation Series: Mz. Marilyn

 

 

My Summer began with a cold and windy weekend at Dewey Beach. There was no tanning or body surfing but I cleaned up at the arcade and have the stuffed lemurs to prove it. In an effort to reclaim my glory days, I started a Mother/Daughter basketball league with my 9 year old, Savannah. (We are currently looking into the legality of naming our team the Pittsburgh Stealers). Charlie and I have been in the studio working on our first Fablers album and putting down a few Chaise Lounge tunes as well. But the highlight of this sticky, hot season is that my mother is getting married!  The matching apparel is almost complete and we are heading to CA to share the big day.  I have even dusted off my guitar so sister Sue and I can share one of our favorite Charlie Barnett songs with the happy couple.

See you all at the next show!
