I have a chance to buy "Sweeney Todd... in Jazz" played by the Trotter Trio. Does anyone know if it was any good? I remember seeing a thread a while back on jazz versions of Broadway shows, but I don't think this was mentioned.

"`I grow old... I grow old... I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.` What does that mean, Mr. Marlowe?" "Not a bloody thing. It just sounds good." He smiled. "That is from the `Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.` Here's another one. `In the room women come and go/Talking of Michael Angelo.' Does that suggest anything to you, sir?" "Yeah -- it suggests to me that the guy didn't know very much about women." "My sentiments exactly, sir. Nonetheless I admire T. S. Eliot very much." "Did you say, 'nonetheless'?" - The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler

I haven't heard Sweeney, but the Trotter Trio's Follies is wonderful.

Passion in Jazz is pretty swell as well.

Thanks, I will. Hooray for Christmas money from guilty aunts and uncles.

You can hear Lea DeLaria sing a jazz version of 'The Ballad of Sweeney Todd' on Amazon. There's a clip. Not bad.
