The Blood of America The Blood of America

Contemporary

Composer/lyricist and jazz pianist/teacher Larry Gelb has released a 26-song compilation of some of his most trenchant, witty, and soulful songs in The Larry Gelb Songbook, Volume I essentially a return to American standards. The new CD I'll Remember Love-The Larry Gelb Songbook Volume I consists of 26 songs including performances by Broadway's brightest new vocalists Kelly J. Grant (Phantom of the Opera), Paul Binotta (Dreamgirls), Laura Jordan, David Pearlman, Amy Justman(Company!) & Kyle Bradford(Damn Yankees). The focus track on the new release is "The Blood of America" a timely song that was inspired by Gelb for the Troops in Iraq and the families directly affected by the war- "and it's the blood that flows through each American's veins" -an emotional and uplifting song that Gelb is donating to the troops and their families via online and cd samplers.
