Imagine a song you've heard a hundred times — then imagine hearing it for the first time again. That's what Burnell Music does. Chicago's beloved jazz duo, Anne and Mark Burnell, take the Great American Songbook and give it new breath: reharmonized chords, unexpected time signatures, vocal harmonies, and the warm intimacy of two musicians who've spent 30+ years perfecting this art together.
“Two of the great entertainers to ever grace this city.”
— -Rick Kogan, WGN Radio 720am Chicago

Anne and Mark Burnell put an afro-cuban spin on this Broadway classic by Lerner & Loewe, a high energy calypso feel paired with a catchy bass line gives this track a modern driving sound. For a finale, Mark breaks into a 7/4 Bossa nova, which allows interplay between legendary guitarist Fareed Haque and drummer Jim Widlowski.
