"Victor Borge, the legendary Danish-American comedian and pianist, invites you into his world of wit and musical mastery with his album "It's All About Jazz Music." Released on September 30, 2014, under That's What Records, this collection of remastered tracks offers a delightful blend of comedy and spoken word, all centered around the theme of jazz music. With a runtime of just over 43 minutes, the album is a testament to Borge's unique ability to blend humor and music seamlessly.
The album kicks off with a hilarious take on a Mozart opera, followed by Borge's own 'Unstarted Symphony,' showcasing his playful approach to classical compositions. Fans of jazz standards will appreciate his rendition of 'All the Things You Are,' while those with a penchant for linguistic humor will enjoy 'Phoenetic Punctuation' and 'Inflation Language.' Borge's musical medleys, including a Kurt Weill Medley and Grieg's Rhapsody, demonstrate his versatility and deep musical knowledge.
The album also features a charming 'Lesson in Composition' and a tender 'Blue Serenade,' highlighting Borge's range as both a performer and a storyteller. The album concludes with a classical piece, Etudes, Op. 10: No. 3 in E Major, performed with Borge's signature flair. Whether you're a long-time fan of Victor Borge or new to his work, "It's All About Jazz Music" promises a delightful and engaging listening experience."
