This is the first new album from the acclaimed vocalist and actor in over 15 years. Children and Art is a collection of covers that he has performed with the musician/producer Thomas Bartlett. The sparse recordings featuring Mandy’s powerful, almost operatic voice and Bartlett’s eary minimal piano/mellotron playing include covers of a diverse array of artists including Tom Waits, Randy Newman, Rufus Wainright, Teitur, Chocolate Genius, Laurie Anderson, Lyle Lovett and Stephen Sondheim. Mandy will be embarking on a US tour this Fall that will extend into 2020.
About the album, Patinkin explains, “After thirty years my musical collaborator, Paul Ford retired. I wasn’t sure if that meant I would have to as well. But my dear friend Bob Hurwitz [of Nonesuch] introduced me to Thomas Bartlett, who introduced me to an entirely new way of making music … in his studio, hours of playing, singing, and recording, never searching for the illusion of perfection.”
