Captured Cabaret

"If you've never been to a real cabaret performance - heck, even if you have - then check out this album. Jason has captured on an album the mood and atmosphere of the cabaret experience. From the entertaining "novelty" songs - which he infuses with his own apt sense of humor - to the ballads interpreted beautifully, he's pulled everything together with selections from the Charles Strouse songbook that couldn't be more appropriate. And then there is his ideal use of the medley format. Oh, and did I mention he's got a great voice to back it all up? This album has it all and still I wanted more."
What a fun disc!

"Jason Graae has a truly wide-ranging voice, and sings both uptempo songs and ballads with great style on this disc. Don't let the absurd cover photo scare you off -- it's a great disc for fans of vocal pop music."
An excellent collection in spite of the irrelevant cover.

"Jason Graae has created an excellent collection of Charles Strouse songs. The ballads are superior and the uptempo songs good but sometimes a little over the top when they don't have to be. The selection of songs is good."
