The Boys of Summer

57 tracks. The complete band history, discography & family tree.

The classic narrative of growing up within shouting distance of Ebbets Field, covering the Jackie Robinson Dodgers, and what’s happened to everybody since.

The 1960s were among the most compelling years in the history of the United States, from the intensifying clamor for civil rights to the tragic incidents of assassination and war. Caught up in this sea of restlessness was major league baseball, and the manner in which baseball addressed the challenges of this decade would have a lasting impact on the game.

Barbara Fasano's "The Girls Of Summer" is a sexy, intimate musical journey from the hottest season, running the gamut from Springsteen to Sondheim. Barbara Fasano has become a major presence in concerts and jazz clubs, in NY and throughout the country. Her "Written In The Stars" is the best Harold Arlen CD anyone's ever done. But this earlier CD shows that she has always made the so-called "American Songbook" into a breathing, ever-growing thing. It's Bruce, too not just the old showtune masters.
