Product Description An instant cult-classic, Freaky Friday has a distinct 1960s flair and flavor. Written by Jack Sheldon and his closest friend Jack Marshall, in 1963, it is as rare and creative as each of these two geniuses. This is a musical play...a jazz opera, with all of the acting roles performed brilliantly by the top jazz musicians of the time. The jazz musicians' "time" is reflected in the comedic timing throughout this masterpiece. This unique showcase for the musicians/players is a true salute to the versatility and brilliance of the jazz musician. This is a singular piece of art. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsFreaky Friday come but one day a week! B. Guerrero | 04/16/2010 (4 out of 5 stars) "Let's just that "Freaky Friday", Jack Sheldon's so-called jazz opera, is best reserved for die-hard J.S. fans. As a story, it's really quite silly. And musically speaking, it has as much early 60's sounding rock (which sounds dated and rather studio bound now), and generic sounding blues, as it does jazz. But it's also good, clean fun to waste an hour of one's own time with. Even more important, it has a couple of Sheldon tunes that have remained with Jack, night after night, town after town, in numerous live performances over the years - tunes such as "Bodega Bay" (pronounced "Bodeega Bay" here), "Wait And See", and the hilarious "Atomic Bomb" ballad. It also features two fabulous left coast guitarists who worked with Sheldon often during those years, Jack Marshall and Howard Roberts. Hey, there are worse ways you could spend your time and money! It least "Freaky Friday" will make you laugh as much as it might make you cringe.
By the way, this isn't to be confused with the movie that carries the same title." |
