Razzle Dazzle by Adam Gardino

This project stewed and simmered for over 5 years. My wife instigated the idea of doing songs from 'Broadway' musicals and we picked one number from each musical we could think of. The list got cut down from the initial 25 tunes down to these 9. There were more scheduled to be released, but they'll have to wait for another time. Both friends and family gave input for which musicals to look at, which numbers and why they were special. After we picked the tunes, arranging and performing became the game. Between playing in bands, moving, teaching lessons, having a baby and just general living, the project came to a halt more than a dozen times. But now here it is, many days and sleepless nights later.


Special thanks to those of you friends and family who gave input in song selections - though you might not see your pick here (or even if you do), know that it has meant the world to me that you gave me the time of day.

Thanks to Rowan Minor for the killer artwork.

Thanks to Brian Hunter at Sawtelle Recording Studios for a masterful mixing/mastering job.

Thanks also to Jeff Bamburg of the Rocky Mountain Guitar Company for building the gorgeous guitar you hear on these tracks.

Thank you to the teachers who cared enough to spend time with me - Charlie Hall, Roger Nutter, Sean McGowan and countless others who gave tips and tricks backstage, at camps or in passing.

I leave my wife to thank last, because she's been in every step, every practice session, every idea - everything from start to finish. She's an amazing woman and the love of my life. Thank you Tylor!

Now all there is to do is kick back and (hopefully) enjoy the show.

Break a leg,
Adam
