Comment:

Maybe it's a little, um, [i]deceitful[/i] to say our featured songs are all from the Great American Songbook, since only one of them was actually written by an American, but these standards, no matter their origin, all set a pretty high standard for pop music. By the early '60s, the mid-century mania for mambo ambled south and west, and Clooney swayed to a Brazilian samba beat in the gender-corrected groove of "Boy from Ipanema," accompanied by vocalist Diana Krall and guitarist John Pizzarelli. Leave it to a pair of Germans — Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill — to put a backbeat behind bloodshed, but in Clooney's hands, "Mack the Knife" is far more vivacious than vicious. And the George Gershwin/Vernon Duke sad-case sob story of "I Can't Get Started" gets the buddy treatment as Clooney teamed up with Bing Crosby for a martini-friendly, he-said/she-said remake.
