Music reviews of The Power of Two
Music Review: Pure magic
Rating: 5 Stars
I bought this cd by chance. I have long beeen a fan of Michael Feinstein and have heard of Cheyenne Jackson as I am also a fan of theatre but I knew nothing of this project. I read a brief article and had to have it. I love it when truly talented creative people work to produce projects with a message that reach out and touch people. Wow, was this so much more than I expected.
These songs are from the show that the two performers did together for 3 weeks at Feinstein's Manhattan club. A cabaret show that illustrated the ups and downs, difficulties and joys of all relationships. The title THE POWER OF TWO is uniquely an Indigo Girls song about just such subject matter and the tender heartfelt performances here are perfection. But the true gift you get is two major talents at the top of their form. We have 5 time Grammy nominee Michael Feinstein who has been with us since 1987 with his Gershwin Tribute album. And then we have newcomer Cheyenne Jackson who bolted to stardom on Broadway in ALL SHOOK UP in 2004. Since then he has taken tv, film and particularly the theratre by storm.
But here they both add something new and award worthy to each of their individual repertoires. This cd is an amazing collection of standards, show tunes and other eclectic bits that fit together for a truly emotional journey that will touch your heart. They are given equal time on solos and get together on some divine duets. The opening I'M NOTHING WITHOUT YOU is happy and fun and sets the stage for this great colaboration. The way the master of the American songbook and the master of the stage meld their talents together is magic and shows a true rarity in talent.
Cheyenne Jackson is playful on the uptempo OLD DEVIL MOON and A FOGGY DAY but his ballads are mezmerizing. I love the standards and have heard these sung by many but his performance of I GET ALONG WITHOUT YOU VERY WELL - DON'T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE has an emotional depth I have never heard before. It is as if the songs are new. His voice is strong, broad and lovely but so excessively emotive it is showstopping. The same is true on SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME. Michal Feinstein gives some of his best vocal interpretations here. He is a great storyteller in song and OLD FRIEND and THE TIME HAS COME show his broad range and control. The other standouts are the duets WE KISS IN A SHADOW and IF I CAN DREAM. They are performed with raw emotion and both are in their vocal prime. Their voices soar.
This cd is truly an emotional journey as described. From the first note you go on it with Michael aand Cheyenne and they pour all their immense talent and artistry into the exploration of relationships thru song. You may see a different side to these performers here and if you are new to them this cd is highy recommended. Be prepared for something very special. This one is truly Grammy worthy.
Description of The Power of Two
Michael Feinstein, 5 time Grammy Award nominee, platinum selling singer,pianist & Cheyenne Jackson, Broadway star of Xanadu, All Shook Up and current revival of Finian's Rainbow, at the St. James Theatre-have released their first CD together. Based on the sold out show at Feinstein's New York club at the Loews Regency the disc features pop songs, classic standards and numbers from Broadway shows like Kiss Me Kate, City of Angels, and The King and I. The Power of two, called " passionate, impeccably harmonized and groundbreaking" bu Stephen Holden of the New York Times, deftley explores partnerships of all kinds. Rex Reed of the New York Observer praised it as "unusual, provovative entertainment that makes listeners think and snap their fingers at the same time. The album's title track , " The Power of Two, " a folk ballad orignally performed by The Indigo Grils about the difficulties of joys of love, emerges as one of the disc's high points.Broadway & Vocalists CDs
