Description: Chip Deffaa's The Irving Berlin Duets Album -- Volume One, with an All-Star New York Cast.... Master songwriter Irving Berlin wrote more hits (and made more money) than any of his colleagues in the Golden Age of Popular Song. Gershwin called him the greatest of American songwriters. Jerome Kern said "Berlin has no 'place' in American music; he IS American music...." This is the first album devoted entirely to Berlin duets. Berlin himself said he wanted an album consisting entirely of Berlin duets, but somehow such an album never got made until now. ASCAP Award-winner (and Berlin authority) Chip Deffaa--who's produced more recordings of Berlin's music than anyone living--has gathered excellent singers from New York's theater and cabaret communities to sing 29 Berlin duets. And a follow-up album of more Berlin duets is in the works. Among the noted singers on this collection: Stephen Bogardus (known for his work in "Falsettoes" and a dozen other Broadway shows), Jon Peterson ("Cabaret," "George M. Cohan Tonight!"), Giuseppe Bausilio ("Billy Elliot," "Hamilton"), Analise Scarpaci ("A Christmas Story," "Mrs. Doubtfire"), Matt Nardozzi ("Inherit the Wind," "Dracula"), Olivia Chun ("School of Rock," "The King and I"), "Jackson DeMott Hill ("Finding Neverland"), etc. Seth Sikes, the hottest male singer in the nightclubs right now, adds his irresistible charm. And rising younger artists like Mark William, Luka Fric, Emily Bordonaro, and Alec Deland round out the bill. With music director Richard Danley on piano and Grammy Award-winner Andy Stein on violin. This is part of a highly acclaimed ongoing series of Berlin albums, which also includes "Chip Deffaa's Irving Berlin: Love Songs and Such," "Chip Deffaa's Irving Berlin Rediscovered," "Chip Deffaa's Irving Berlin: Ragtime Rarities," "Chip Deffaa's The Irving Berlin Songbook," and many more. All are available on Ebay.
