I'll Cover You
I'll Cover You is an eclectic collection that features a variety of genres. "Although most audiences
know my work as a Broadway performer," Telly says, "I love music of all genres. I wanted to 'cover'
these songs in a way that would make the listener hear them again with a new perspective."
His theatrical roots are represented by a joyously rhythmic arrangementof "Before The Parade
Passes By" from Hello, Dolly!, a thoughtful "Children Will Listen" from Into The Woods and the
disc's title track, which he performed in the final Broadway cast of Rent. The disc also features
fresh interpretations of pop hits like a stirring rendition of Katy Perry's "Firework" Madonna's "Papa
Don't Preach" ? the drama heightened by a driving Latin-tinged arrangement ? and a lyrical,
pensive take on "Galileo" by The Indigo Girls.
Other highlights include his jazzy, saloon-soaked interpretation of the Cy Coleman standard "I'm Gonna Laugh You Right Out Of My Life" and a sweet, tender rendition of Lennon & McCartney's "In My Life" with simple guitar accompaniment. The album closes with a live performance of the Whitney Houston hit "I Believe In You and Me," with a full display of his soaring falsetto, recorded in concert at Birdland Jazz Club in New York.

Big Sackbut
About the music on Joe Fiedler's Big Sackbut:
The album opens with "Mixed Bag", a kind of grooving, patchwork, polyphonic "quilt" that Fiedler has been piecing together for many years. "I love the vibe and interaction between the cats in the introduction, and I think that it sets the tone for what is to follow," said Fiedler. Fiedler and Roseman trade declamatory solo flights here, setting the bar high. "The Crab" was the title track from one of Fiedler's trio CDs that subsequently found a second home in the book of Bobby Sanabria's band (appearing on the recording, Big Band Urban Folk Tales). It finds a third home here, uniquely adapted for this quartet. Read More...
