Jones & Schmidt
SONGWRITER SHOWCASE SERIES
“Hidden Treasures” is thoroughly wonderful, capturing the warmth and wit and humanity of Jones & Schmidt. Plenty of fun, too. It makes you feel like you’re sitting in the room with Harvey and Tom and friends. The accompanying booklet is special as well, and up to the visual standards of Harvey (who started out as a graphic artist and never lost the touch). What a fine way to spend time with this distinctive and uncompromising musical comedy team!”
– Steven Suskin, The Sound of Broadway Music
This two-CD retrospective is a must-have for all lovers of musical theater! Tom Jonesand Harvey Schmidt first won fame as the creators of The Fantasticks—the longest-running musical in the history of the world, with more than 21,000 performances given in New York over a period of 58 years.
But the Jones & Schmidt musicals also include Broadway classics such as I Do! I Do!, 110 in the Shade and Celebration. Selections from these and 12 other shows are included in Harbinger’s deluxe set, which features many previously unreleased “demos” by the songwriters themselves.
Jones & Schmidt worked closely with Producer Bill Rudman for over two years to ensure that this album would best represent their legacy, and both composer and lyricist contributed liner notes for a 64-page color booklet that includes dozens of never-before-seen photos.
VOCALS BY: Tom Jones, Harvey Schmidt, Mary Martin, Robert Preston, Liz Callaway, Carole Demas, Bert Lahr, Stanley Holloway, Susan Watson, Samantha Bruce and many others
