Justus,Christa Throw It To The Wind CD

For over forty years, the Broadway songwriting team of Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire has thrilled audiences with musicals like Baby and Big, as well as the classic revues Starting Here, Starting Now and Closer than Ever. Now, Broadway singer-actress Christa Justus (Les Miserables, Titanic, plus Maltby & Shire's Baby and Take Flight) - joined by award-winning composer/arranger Andrew Gerle (Meet John Doe) and backed by some of New York City's hottest jazz musicians - devotes her debut album to bold new arrangements that celebrate and reinvent the Maltby/Shire catalog. In fourteen selections highlighting Christa's supple, soaring voice and keen dramatic gifts, Throw It to the Wind provides a splendid showcase for both Maltby & Shire and for this dazzling new vocalist. Tracks: Dancing All the Time, a Girl You Should Know, Throw It to the Wind, You and the Sky, a Little Bit Off, Stargazer/Stars, I Hear Bells, Coffee Black, Life Story, One Step, the Word Is Love, I Chose Right, Autumn and I Wouldn't Go Back.
