Best of New York
by MarsophileFrom THE BAQ ROOM club during THE era when show bisiness ruled NYC! THIS is where people in the show biz world went every night to unwind, mingle, and get that slice of life. Check out the review on Mr. Lucky. Michael really captures what this is all about! She is America's answer to Edith Piaf.
Classic '50s Cabaret
by Bobby G.These tapes had been in Marlon Brando's study for nearly forty years. Shortly before Janice Mars died in 2004, her family members located them and had them issued as this CD. Janice was the hostess and featured singer at a 1950's cabaret room in NYC called The Baq Room. She was a short-haired brunette in her early thirties who dressed in simple black. Using no microphone, Mars allied her nasal, bleating voice and hyper-intense, metho-acting approach with an esoteric set of story-songs. Typical among them were "Lilac Wine," the surrealist love fantasy of a drunken woman, written by James Shelton for a short-lived 1950 Broadway revue, "Dance Me A Song," and "The Winter of My Discontent," Alec Wilder's end-of-the-world torch song, with a title paraphrased from Shakespeare's "Richard III." To a casual listener, Mars, wo got her training at the famed Actor's Studio, might have seemed madly overwrought. But theater folk were engrossed by her ability to find a subtext in even a song as casual as "Bye Bye Blackbird," which she turned into a life-or-death cry for escape from a hopeless existence. After the club closed, Mars resurfaced in a handful of plays before disappearing entirely; for years, not even close friends knew where she was. Insiders spoke of a "lost" album she'd made that seemed to survive only in battered acetate form. Its musical director, pianist Don Evans, died bizarrely: walking down the icy steps of the Showplace, a Greenwich Village cabaret, he slipped and broke his neck. Mars, in fact, would spend her latter years living reclusively in a trailer in New Mexico before her death in 2004. ~From "Intimate Nights; The Golden Age of New York Cabaret" by James Gavin
