Edoff

Adam Pascal and Larry Edoff’s new album Blinding Light is an exhilarating
collection of songwriting matched with the passionate, fiery musicianship that
trademark both Pascal and Edoff’s solo albums. Broadway star Adam Pascal and
songwriter Larry Edoff combine Pascal’s unmatched vocal range - from aching and
suave to raw and explosive - with Edoff’s flawless musicianship and vast musical
vocabulary where jazz and rock meet touches of world music twinged with
classical. Highlights include Pascal’s gritty vocals that perfectly embody the
edgy lyrics in the rock song “Turn the Lights On.” In titillating contrast is
the sassy and suggestive duet “Call Your Bluff,” where Pascal and Rent co-star
Daphne Rubin-Vega intertwine in a Brazilian-Argentinean tango. “Just Like I Am”
is a standout, with Pascal and a chorus of gospel singers begging for love
despite imperfection. Edoff’s vocal depth and emotive honesty soar in “Will I
Drown,” a call for help as the world speeds out of control. The result is an
album of unsurpassed stylistic range and lyrical depth that carries the
alternative-rock genre to new creative heights.
Duende
Larry Edoff has created an extraordinary musical journey in his latest release Duende. The album is a fearless explosion of songwriting, including the title song Duende, driven by a spectacularly orchestrated rhythm section, Flamenco guitar, Andalusian vocals, topped off by Edoffs earthy piano and soaring voice. The lyrics of Love Will Always Come Back confess all that is intimate and fragile on the path of love. Larrys piano shimmers and digs within the same breath, using his jazz and classical background to infuse all tracks on the album with masterful musicianship paired with playful spontaneity. The solo tracks are highlights, Edoffs aching voice in Cradle Me Warm and I Have Come For You resonates with an honesty that throbs in the very soul of the listener.
