Details:
We are pleased to announce the release of the CD for our hit Jazz Noir musical, "Play It Cool." It features the Original Los Angeles Cast and musicians doing all 19 songs from the show. As you know, this production has gotten great reviews and has had sold out houses for most of its run. The CD is a limited edition âcollectors copyâ--weâve only got 1,000 of them-- so hurry before they're gone! It features the work of award-winning lyricist Mark Winkler (Naked Boys Singing!, Bark! and Too Old for the Chorus) writing with such stellar composers as David Benoit, Dan Siegel and Phillip Swann (Lee Anne Womack, Ray Charles, Clay Aikens).It is reminiscent of "City of Angels","Wild Party" and "Gun Metal Blues."

Los Angeles Times Criticâs Choice!
"An accomplished, kaleidoscopic songbook. Tart, tuneful and trenchant in unexpected ways. âPlay It Coolâ generates sizzling heat, and not just for Blue Note devotees.â

Backstage West Criticâs Pick!
"A scintillating jazz musical! The amalgam of swinging jazz ditties, comic numbers and torch songs results in a superb score, brought to shimmering life courtesy of music director-arranger Louis Durra and musicians Big Al Gruskoff and Adam Alesiâ¦..a first rate cast of actor-singers."

LA Weekly, Go!
"We get solid jazz from five fine actor-singers who deliver lyricist Mark Winklerâs music in a delightful evening."

Variety
"Impressive tunerâ¦rich in noir-esque ambience. Jessica Sheridan exhibits impressive vocal chops (âIn My Drag,ââJazz is a Special Tasteâ). Katie Campbellâs
clear-toned, pitch-perfect outings on âWhatever It Takesâ and âAnother Nightâ is evocative of such Jazz legends as Anita OâDay and June Christy.â


Studio City Sun
âMichael Craig Shapiroâs wistful solo âRainbowsâ with music by David Benoit⦠is one of the showâs unexpected highlights.â

Backstage West
"Andrew Pandaleon is endearing and convincingâ¦when he takes the stage to strut his charismatic stuff, the production reaches itâs shining peaks. Steven Janji exudes sexuality and intrigueâ¦â
