1920s/30s jazz played by a great orchestra, superb arrangements, combined with max raabe’s
deadpan humor, made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. you may have seen some of max’s
hilarious covers of tom jones’s ‘sex bomb’ or britney spears’s ‘oops i did it again’. i
did the best i could with the song titles, though i couldn’t figure out track 13 of set 1.
concert program and a few cell photos are included. note the final encore which was played with
the brass section backstage in the distance, for a beautiful effect.
