  Review: David Yazbek ,The Laughing Man - Joe Silva   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Yazbek can bang on a clavinette and recite stream of conciousness sound bites or piece together gentle little vingettes over the soft gushings of a mellotron and ahve you not notice either because of all the charm and honest melody in his voice.
Yazbek, who's nabbed an Emmy penning jokes for Lettermen fresh out of college, is principally a keyboard player who grew up listening to Monk and at one time had a deal with Capitol until it was abruptly scotched by the mega-label.
While Yazbek is able to sway betwixt the two forums assuredly, it's the unabashed and uptempo sentiments that grasp the attention.

NEW YORK — David Yazbek is in a pickle.
Yazbek, who until recently was best known for his work as a comedy writer and rock artist, penned the music and lyrics for another adaptation of a hit film, The Full Monty - a show that, prior to The Producers' arrival, was considered a leading contender for numerous Tonys.
Yazbek is still not convinced that The Producers, which garnered a record 15 Tony nods, will completely overshadow Monty, which received 10.

 David Yazbek: MusicWorld® Hitmakers Story
David Yazbek is taking Broadway by storm with the hit musical The Full Monty, based on the smash film of the same name.
His background as an Emmy-winning writer for Late Night with David Letterman and as a successful commercial jingle writer might not seem the type of background one would associate with a Broadway composer.
The variety in the style of songs in The Full Monty (the cast album was released in December), combine with Yazbek's experience as a writer allowed him to create numerous songs filled with funny and twisted lyrics.

Native New Yorker David Yazbek, however, was among the lucky when he was tapped to provide the score for the stage adaptation of the hit movie "The Full Monty".
While still attending Brown, Yazbek staged a production of "Hair" that went on to have a commercial run in Boston.

Given the quality of the product (David's a graphic designer, so he knows how to make a package such as this to a standard that could easily be commercially marketed), this I believe is a bargain.
David's a very friendly and communicative person, so don't have any hesitation about emailing him with an inquiry should you wish to obtain a copy of this product.
This was obviously a labor of love for David, and all he wanted to do was share this with his fellow Goldsmith admirers.

 BAM: Dirty Rotten Songwriter, Arts and Culture, March/April 2005
Yazbek returns to Broadway this spring with a musical adaptation of the 1988 film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, in which Steve Martin and Michael Caine played a pair of suave swindlers.
In the show’s music, Yazbek stays true to the indelible melodies, keen observations, provocative metaphors, and absurd humor that characterize his albums (on his latest CD, Damascus, he glimpses Fuji blimps, celebrates cowgirls heading for Santo Domingo, and makes a leap of lyrical faith by connecting baseball hall-of-famer Sandy Koufax to the Holocaust).
With Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Yazbek shows himself to be a pop-music eclectic, equally at ease penning rockers with tongue-in-cheek lyrics (including the high-energy “Great Big Stuff”) as he is in crafting a heartfelt ballad (“Love Sneaks In,” sung by Lithgow).

David Yazbek: The Full Monty Composed by David Yazbek.
City of Angels such a pleasure some years back, but Yazbek's score immediately reverts to generic, rock-pop bubblegum for the ears.
It does provide the needed energy for song-and-dance numbers like the opening "Scrap," where Yazbek's effectively hard-edged lyrics, contrasting workingmen's lives with their dreams, outshine the uninspired music.

When people ask me what I thought of DRS I constantly find myself referring to it as a show in the spirit of the golden age musical comedies.
I personally find Yazbek superior to Loesser in both lyricism and creative, catchy melodies.
It just bothers me that half the score to Guys and Dolls is built on basically the same chord progressions.
