Stanley Black & the Kingsway Promenade Orchestra pay tribute to songwriters Irving Berlin and Jerome Kern, concentrating mainly upon favorites like "The Way You Look Tonight," "Cheek to Cheek," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," "The Song Is Ended," "I Won't Dance," and "There's No Business Like Show Business," with a few lesser-known airs like "Kalua," "The Piccolino," and "In Egern on the Tegern See" tossed in like filberts. While some may bristle at the use of strings and conventional arrangements, Kern and Berlin undoubtedly would have approved of this presentation, as it matches the theater pit orchestra environment within which these songs were originally rehearsed and brought before the public. This double-album reissue package will also be useful for anyone who wants or needs to learn these fine old melodies inside and out; a singer in training could easily obtain the lyrics and howl along with the Kingsway Promenade Orchestra, provided no one else is listening. ~ arwulf arwulf, Rovi
