Maury Yeston
PS Classics is celebrating the 75th birthday of Tony Award-winning composer-lyricist Maury Yeston (Nine, Titanic) with this new two-disc collection. Maury Sings Yeston: The Demos brings together 40 of his own private recordings, described by the label as playing "less like a set of demos and more like an undiscovered solo disc by a great American singer-songwriter." Songs are featured from Nine, Titanic, Death Takes a Holiday, and In the Beginning as well as such theatrical projects as The Queen of Basin Street (Yeston's adaptation of La Cage aux Folles), Goya: A Life in Song (which received a star-studded recording with Placido Domingo, Dionne Warwick, Gloria Estefan, and others),Club Moscow, and Ramayana, along with a trio of standalone pop songs. Maury Sings Yeston is due October 23 on digital/streaming and December 4 on CD.
