Description
Just in time for Mother's Day - Putnam Valley resident Tamara O'Leary, the critically acclaimed cabaret singer, debuts her first CD, MOON SOUP on May 8, 2005. The CD is being released through her newly formed record label Family Standards, LLC, and is available now.
This extraordinary recording, produced by Tamara O'Leary and Tom McCoy, is a surprising collection of kid-friendly songs by some of the Great American Songbook's most beloved composers and lyricists. With selections by Cole Porter, Henri Mancini, Rodgers & Hammerstein and Sammy Cahn, among others, MOON SOUP delightfully achieves what may have seemed incompatible goals in presenting children's music: to combine intelligent songwriting, with fresh jazz-pop interpretations on a recording as appealing and appropriate for children as for their parents.
Produced in partnership with Cold Spring, New York resident, Tom McCoy, MOON SOUP raises the bar on the presentation of family entertainment. Conceived in a serendipitous moment while Tamara was singing to her young daughters and their friends, MOON SOUP includes a few very worthy and well known songs from the world of youth oriented films, including Aladdin, which aired on CBS in 1958 and Cinderella, which was presented on television on March 31, 1957, as well as the wonderful "Goodnight God" from the repertoire of Fred (Mister) Rogers. But it is O'Leary's use of grown up songs such as the exquisite Mercer/Mancini composition, "Moon River" and the whimsical Mercer/Whiting song, "Have You Got Any Castles, Baby?" that transform her concept into a beautiful tribute to the versatility of youth and music.
Tamara O'Leary made her mark in the cabarets of New York City in several one woman shows of her own design, but it was her long run in the smash hit From Television City in Hollywood, 'The Judy Garland Show,' which planted her firmly on the map of New York cabaret. Tamara played the young Liza Minnelli, and recreated Minnelli's debut on her mother's legendary TV series. Starring Richard Skipper as Garland, the popular show ran for a year at Don't Tell Mama to sold-out crowds. Marriage and motherhood followed, and from the arms of her cherished family life, MOON SOUP was born.
Tom McCoy, (MOON SOUP co-producer, musical arranger, orchestrator), is one of the New York area's most versatile musicians. From opera to rock, country to jazz, sacred to symphony orchestra, there is hardly a musical setting in which he hasn't performed, arranged composed or conducted. His work has been heard from Off-Broadway to national television to Brazil. He has appeared on stage as accompanist to such beloved and diverse artists as Ray Charles, James Taylor, Regis Philbin and Natalie Merchant, to name only a few. His compositions and orchestrations have been featured on nationally televised broadcasts from New York's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade ("The Time has Come"), and California's Crystal Cathedral ("Go Down Moses"). Tom is the bandleader, arranger and pianist for the monthly Jazz Vespers in Cold Spring, NY, which is rapidly becoming a Mecca for musicians in the New York area to hang out and jam.
