This entertaining live show from New York's Rainbow & Stars club in 1995
joins singing sisters Ann Hampton Callaway and Liz Callaway. The former is a
suave jazz singer with a darker tone and sensational versatility; the latter
is a clear-as-a-bell soprano best known for her late-'90s stint as
Broadway's Grizabella in Cats. The album is sort of a musical autobiography,
as the sisters sing together as well as trace their separate artistic
developments through their choices of solo numbers. Ann demonstrates her
cabaret repertoire with Nancy Ford and Gretchen Cryer's heartbreaker "Old
Friend," while Liz displays her Broadway background with Stephen Schwartz's
glorious "Meadowlark" and Frank Loesser's tender "My Heart Is So Full of
You." The two also playfully spar with snappy patter and humorous duets, the
most notable being "The Huge Medley," which strings together bits from over
a dozen female duets, and the theme song from TV's The Nanny, which Ann
wrote and the sisters recorded for the opening credits. A terrific
recording. David Horiuchi
