BWW Reviews: John Pizzarelli & Jessica Molasky Bring WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE to the Carlyle

I was remembering the first time I heard stereophonic sound, my senses intrigued at the separation, but marveling at the intermixed result. The counterpoint created by the mixture of songs from different styles and periods would on paper not seem to work. However the unique and creative way they were put together amplified and enhanced the subject matter of each. From Irving Berlin to The Beach Boys the evening was a fantastically knitted musical fabric.

Enough can't be said about the musicians on the Carlyle stage last night Their tightness and perfect blending can only be created by a group of virtuosos who live and play together constantly. Larry Fuller's extraordinary melodic lines fit perfectly with John's harmonics. The contradiction of Jessica's theater voice and John's Jazz sound is a magnificent collision. This is a show not to be missed.
