THE LARRY GELB SONGBOOK, VOLUME I
Englewood Cliffs, NJ (January 1, 2008,) ---Composer/lyricist and jazz
pianist/teacher Larry Gelb has released a 26-song compilation of some of his most
trenchant, witty, and soulful songs in The Larry Gelb Songbook, Volume I essentially
a return to American standards. The full release was recorded at Bennett Studios
in Englewood, New Jersey. Gelb started playing the piano at age seven. Today, he has
written over 800 songs, including work for film scores, musicals, jingles and jazz
compositions.
In the tradition of his heroes Rodgers and Hart, Harold Arlen and Jimmy Van Heusen,
Larry Gelb is writing songs with real melodies and intelligent lyrics. The new CD
I\'ll Remember Love-The Larry Gelb Songbook Volume I includes 26 songs performed by
Broadway\'s brightest new vocalists Kelly J. Grant (National tour of "The Phantom of
the Opera" and "Show Boat"), Paul Binotto ("Dreamgirls" and "Hair"), Laura Jordan,
David Perlman (Performed in theaters worldwide), Amy Justman ("Company!" and "The
Screams of Kitty Genovese") and Kyle Bradford ("Damn Yankees" and "The Padre").
The focus track on the new release is \"The Blood of America\" a timely song that was
inspired by Gelb for the Troops in Iraq and the families directly affected by the
war- \"and it\'s the blood that flows through each American\'s veins\" -an emotional
and uplifting song that Gelb is donating to the troops and their families via online
and cd samplers.
Another great song of note "I'm Not Supposed to Fall in Love" is performed by Kelly
J Grant, who recently was in the Tony Award winning revival of Company! Songs on
this CD include "Some Other Christmas," "Love So Dear," "The Dirty Business of War"
and "Be In Love With Me" are from Gelb's latest musical Love So Dear, currently in
development. The musical is about America in the 60's and the CIA's involvement
with LSD.
