CD Reviews
I love this cd!

"My boyfriend and I were at a Tony Award benefit for the Actor's Fund that Jim Caruso hosted...and we fell in love with his humor and beautiful voice. I bought the cd immediately...and am so happy I did! It must be hard to produce live cd's, because they usually sound very flat...but this one sounds so ALIVE! His personality bounces out of the speakers! His material is so much fun...if you are a fan of musical theater and cabaret, you HAVE to get this cd! Billy Stritch is great on piano and vocals, and they have a wonderful rapoire."
Jazzy hilarity!

"This CD is fantastic! Saw him perform in NYC this past fall, and the CD is a great representation of one of the best club acts I've seen. Caruso is really funny, and the choices of material and arrangements are top notch. You have to hear the way he does "How Deep Is The Ocean," an arrangement by Kay Thompson that totally rocks! His "If I Only Had A Brain" is cool, too. This isn't one of those live CD's you'll hear once...each listening gets more and more interesting and entertaining,"
Way to go, Jim!

"We have seen Jim Caruso in person many times-not often enough, but this cd is great to fill in the blank times. We have one in each car. Fresh, fun and Caruso- love it!"
Cabaret at it's finest -- and funniest!

"Jim Caruso's silky smooth voice can reach inside a person and gently touch his (or her) heart, or aim straight for the funnybone and have him in stitches! Having had the opportunity to see this excellent performer in person, I'm thrilled to be able to recall his musical magic whenever I so choose. Great CD for kickin' back on a Sunday afternoon or entertaining guests -- why hire someone to entertain when you can have Caruso do it for you for just over (dollar amount).A perfect gift for the music lovers on my holiday shopping list...with Jim Caruso's Live and in Person, who needs fruitcake?"
Real funny
