notes
Our project started with a few arrangements by Vito Lesczak and me. We fell in love with the music and with the process of listening to what the music needed. And like Kurt Weill in his own collaborations, we looked to find the best people and the best sounds to suit Weill's extraordinary songs, When Hilary Gardner joined us, we knew we had the perfect collaborator and voice to deliver the story-driven songs. Peter Donavan completed the sound and added vision and creativity. The Kurt Weill project was born. In the recording studio , we added Aaron Heick and Leif Arntzen , both of whom contributed a richness and depth to the music.
A Song About Forever is a jazz based exploration of Kurt Weill's songs, with a nod towards their musical theater roots. We sincerely hope you discover some songs you might not have heard before and rediscover songs that now fell brand new. These songs are about forever, and each will be a song you'll love.

great update on classic songs
author: la_maquinaListening to the CD Baby clips for this record was slghtly frustrating, only because the arrangements all have such a beautiful arc. I will have to buy the CD now because the cutoff on the clips comes way too soon! The musicians subtly and deftly frame and showcase Hilary Gardner's voice. Ms. Gardner skillfully takes on both the technical and interpretive challenges of Weill and puts her own memorable stamp on these songs, some of which are very familiar standards. Once you hear the smooth rich mystery in her voice juxtaposed with the dissonant piano in Mack the Knife, you'll say, "Bobby who?"
