This is the Stephen Sondheim section of the 'Art of the American' that took place at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre on Sunday 3rd April.

SONDHEIM COLLECTION from ART OF THE AMERICAN

Heidi Joosten and I collaborated for this week's song.  Heidi is a super-accomplished piano player and a prolific composer heading to Roosevelt University in Chicago to hone her craft further.  I chose the super-difficult-to-play "Marry Me A Little" by Stephen Sondheim, and Heidi owned that ridiculous piano part.  Hope you like it!

Marry Me A Little--Sondheim

A new collection from David Sedaris is cause for jubilation. His recent move to Paris has inspired hilarious pieces, including Me Talk Pretty One Day, about his attempts to learn French. His family is another inspiration. You Cant Kill the Rooster is a portrait of his brother who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers and cashiers with 6-inch fingernails. Compared by The New Yorker to Twain and Hawthorne, Sedaris has become one of our best-loved authors.

Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris, Read by the Author - Audiobook Excerpt

Aziz Ansari - AAAAAAAANGRY (with eight A's)

Eddie Izzard - Covered In Bees

Eddie Izzard - Evil Giraffe

We live in a world that is recreating itself one life and one digital connection at a time. On this landscape for which there are no maps, Seth Godin is a singular thought leader and innovator in what he describes as our post-industrial "connection economy." Rather than merely tolerate change, he says, we are all called now to rise to it. We are invited and stretched in whatever we do to be artists — to create in ways that matter to other people.

Artists Discuss Political Art, Immigration, and Identity

We take in the extraordinary wisdom of Congressman John Lewis, on what happened in Selma on Bloody Sunday and beyond — and how it might inform our common life today. A rare look inside the civil rights leaders’ spiritual confrontation with themselves — and their intricate art of nonviolence.

John Lewis — You Never Give up on Anyone

Courage is borne out of vulnerability, not strength. This finding of Brené Brown’s research on shame and "wholeheartedness" shook the perfectionist ground beneath her own feet. And now it’s inspiring millions to reconsider the way they live, parent, and navigate relations with members of the opposite gender.

Professor Sophie Scott (UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience) studies how and why we laugh but also likes to make people laugh. In this podcast her explanation of how we learn to laugh is inter-cut with her performance at a comedy night and a trip with her son to the playground. This research is at the centre of her contribution to the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition.

Jokers Of The Scene expand minds once again with Killing Jokes, dosing the discotheque with moody, funky new sounds straight out of the Toronto laboratory they call home. Kicking things off with a bang, "Killing Jokes III" sees the duo tweaking the closing notes of their J0T5 EP for ten lysergic minutes of Beat Street worthy drum machine loops, surging acid lines, and the absolutely perfect ammount of slap bass. Planet E's own Psycatron take the song for a deep walk into techno territory, while Ed Banger's resident psych guru Mickey Moonlight cranks up the bongos and introduces haunting vocals (including a laugh track?!? Trust us, it works...) for a Talking Heads-on-nitrous jam session. Lest you think JOTS and their friends went hippy on us all of a sudden, the boys close things out with the stomping piano house coda "A Fine Line Between Nowhere And Now Here," bookending another quality Fool's Gold release from one of the most interesting and unpredictable forces in dance music.&#13;
