NO HARM DONE, COQUETTE
THE SONGS OF BABBIE GREEN AND JOHNNY GREEN
With Babbie Green, John Boswell
and Julie Esposito

The Great American Songbook is not just history, it is history still in the making. Johnny Green wrote the music for such standards as BODY AND SOUL, I COVER THE WATERFRONT, OUT OF NOWHERE...lasting treasures...ask any jazz cat worldwide!...in addition to winning 5 Academy Awards (nominated 14 times) for his brilliant handling of other peoplesâ music. His award-winning daughter, Babbie Green, continues in the family business. She is one of the most sung songwriters in the world of cabaret. John Boswell, also composer/singer/pianist extraordinaire, with 7 of his own cds distributed worldwide, has worked with Green fille for 7 years, the cd of this show being their third joint venture on disc. Even before being released, it has received airplay, back to back with Frank Sinatraâs recordings of the same songs. Julie Esposito is another âdaughter of...â. Her father was the Grammy nominated late jazz pianist/musical director Gene Esposito. Her UNSUNG HOLLYWOOD cd is a jewel box of songs from the silver screen, getting great reviews and airplay all over the country. This show of this cd, about to play in L.A. (March)
and NYC (May), is too good...and too much fun...to miss!

REVIEW BY JOHN REGAN:

Oh my God, this is a beautiful recording.  And what a marvelous combination ... a blend of Babbie's songs with the classic songs of her father, Johnny Green.  This is a brilliant idea.  And it works! There's a delightful surprise right away with a lovely instrumental Overture, melding her song "No Harm Done" with her father's "Coquette."  This musical treasure alternates with Babbie's and Johnny's songs both individually and together ... including a favorite of mine "Twixt Heaven and Hell"/"Hello, My Lover, Goodbye" ... a delicious delicacy only Babbie Green could create.  Babbie obviously relishes performing these songs ... and with the wonderful talents of John Boswell and Julie Esposito, too, you've got a CD you'll enjoy hearing again and again.  Another one of my favorites on the CD is Babbie's "Til the Next Good Thing." It makes me look forward to her next release ... and that will be a very good thing indeed.
 
NOTES WRITTEN BY NANCY SINATRA FOR THIS CD:
"Sitting by the piano while Babbie's Dad played for us is
one of my most treasured memories of childhood. It was
clear she would follow the paths of her mother and father
because she was already a little ham, but who'da thunk
that she would grow into the brilliant songwriter, pianist
and singer you hear on this album. Maybe it's in her DNA
or perhaps it's osmosis. Either way, little did I know that
the girl I knew, who sat there quietly listening to Johnny
play, would display the touch and sensibilities of her father,
in his music and in hers. She carries his blood in her veins
and his music in her soul, inseparably melded with her own.
It's difficult to know where his music ends and hers begins.
Brava, Babbie! May God bless the daughters of famous fathers."

NOTES WRITTEN BY MARY RODGERS FOR THIS CD:
"The daughter of Richard Rodgers thinks the daughter of
John Green is wildly talented. Her father would be proud.
My father is proud of her, too."
