Set List: John Pizzarelli & Jessica Molaskey, Hollywood 2008
During an interview for my weekly column in Daily Variety, guitarist-singer John Pizzarelli did not explain he and wife Jessica Molaskey would be creating rounds out of two different songs throughout their set. Beyond the fun and playful, they hit a serious note by combing the "South Pacific" tune on racism "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught" and "Children Will Listen" from "Into the Woods," a darker and jazzier take than Barbra Streisand's medley of the songs. They take their act to the Cafe Carlyle on Sept. 9 for a two-month run.
At the early show on Aug. 29 at Catalina Bar & Grill, John & Jessica performed:
I Didn't Know What Time it Was (Jessica)> Just in Time (John)/My Baby Just Cares About Me / Small World / I Want to Be Happy / Meditation (John) > Summer, Highland Falls (Jessica) / Happy Talk / This Can't Be Love / It's Easy to Remember / Johnny One Note / I'm Just Wild About Harry >Everybody Loves Louis / Hide in Plain Sight (that's a guess) / You've Got to Be Carefully Taught (John) > Children Will Listen (Jessica) / You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You / Little Girl
