Music reviews of Greatest Shticks
Music Review: A side-splitting cultural treasure
Rating: 5 Stars
I stumbled upon Mickey Katz browsing for good comedy CDs for the drive. What a find. The musicians are superb, the parodies are priceless and then there's Katz himself whose musical talent, intelligence, and zaniness are over the top. Barber Of Schlemiel, which is in this excellent collection, is a masterpiece in the category with Warner Brother's What's Opera Doc? Katz uses a fair amount of Yiddish (about 1/3 Yiddish, 2/3's English), but you can get away with a rudimentary knowledge and basic knowledge of Jewish culture and holidays. You'll learn a lot more from listening, and from when your better-Yiddish-understanding friend next to you falls of his or her chair from laughing so hard.
I've been looking for along time for a DVD of Mickey Katz performing this work. I hope that video of his performances exists somewhere -- the thought of his performances being gone forever is saddening. Perhaps someone can convince Joel Grey (Katz's son) to root through the attic for films.
I very highly recommend this CD. It's superb.
