Blinding Light, by Adam Pascal
and Larry 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. Go to

Duende, by Larry
Edoff....
Poet and playwright
Garcia Lorca describes
duende as an
instinctual act of creation that has "neither map or
discipline." He notes that
duende
is a struggle "that burns the blood like powdered glass,
that rejects the sweet geometry one has learned, and that
breaks with all styles."
Larry and
Adam Pascal, who is best known for his lead
in the play and film version of "Rent",
have release a new CD, "Blinding Light"
which can be purchased by going to
