BEN BAGLEY'S ROGERS AND HART REVISITED VOL. III

This is the third volume of Rodgers and Hart we’ve released and it’s another complete delight, with a great cast including Nancy Andrews, Blossom Dearie, Johnny Desmond, Estelle Parsons, Anthony Perkins, Lynn Redgrave, and Arthur Siegel. The musical arrangements and musical direction are by long-time Bagley regular, Dennis Deal. There are, as always, lots of great Rodgers and Hart rarities, a treasure trove of great tunes with great lyrics. That is the joy of these albums, not hearing the tried and true, but hearing the neglected and unknown. Because Bagley did not add any extra songs for his original CD release, we’ve added an almost thirty-minute interview with composer Richard Rodgers (talking with Tony Thomas) ? Rodgers is very candid, and also plays the piano several times. It’s an illuminating interview with one of the all-time greats of the musical theater and it fills out the running time to almost seventy-nine minutes.

As always, we’ve really spruced up the sound, and we of course give you the great Harvey Schmidt artwork. -KRITZERLAND-KRITZERLAND
