Exciting new release! Dudley Down Under--unabridged Martine Avenue Productions is thrilled to bring you, for the first time ever on CD, this entire live concert, complete with Dudley Moore's hilarious commentary. This is a recording like no other. The listener will feel what it was like to be in the audience for this historic concert, performed on May 2, 1978 in Sydney Town Hall. The two-CD set honors the memory of Dudley Moore on the tenth anniversary of his untimely death on March 27, 2002, at the age of 66. Dudley approached the concert, and each musical work, with his strongly individual approach to the jazz pieces, and he interspersed them with some of his infamous musical parodies ending it all with "Goodbyee" as you've never heard it before. The set features classic jazz written and arranged by Dudley Moore and others, in stunning performances by Dudley and long-time jazz partners Peter Morgan, bass and Chris Karan, drums, side by side with Dudley's beloved piano parodies, poking fun at composers including Schubert and Beethoven and featuring Dudley's vocal skills, from scat-singing to madrigal singing. |

Bedazzled--revisited The music for the film Bedazzled was composed by Dudley Moore, who arranged, conducted and performed the score. The title song, “Bedazzled,” was composed by Moore and Cook. Singing voices include Moore and Cook together in "The Leaping Nuns' Chorus," Dudley in "Love Me," and Peter in "Bedazzled." The Dudley Moore trio, with Dudley on piano, Peter McGurk on bass, and Chris Karan on drums, is also featured on many tracks. The 1967 film Bedazzled was the first motion picture with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore together in starring roles. Produced and directed by Stanley Donen, the film starred Eleanor Bron, Raquel Welch, and Barry Humphries (AKA Dame Edna), along with its creators Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. This amazing soundtrack has been remastered for the first time since 1967 from the original 15 i.p.s., 1/2-track, 1/4” reel-to-reel analogue tapes. |
