Bobby Short and Friends (Live At The Carlyle). An intimate evening with the world's premiere cafe entertainer! Rock videos, move over! Bobby Short's in town, making magic at the keyboard. Caught here by the camera at his favorite haunt, New York's Cafe Carlyle, he plays to an audience of celebrity fans including Tony Bennett, critic Rex Reed, artist Leroy Nieman, and a couple of friends who join him at the piano for a little impromptu music making.
Nobody makes the standards sound fresher than Boby Short. It's sultry swing for "The Best Is Yet To Come". A sly, mischievous touch for "Let's Misbehave". Fancy fingerwork for "Just One Of Those Things". And every number's a winner. If Bogart and Berman heard his voice of "As Time Goes By", They'd still be together. Take a turn at the piano, Jack Lemon browses through a few jazzy bars of Gershwin, then Bobby joins him for a four-handed jam session as the rest of the trio kicks in for "Love Walked In". And Lucie Arnaz proves her Broadway success in They're Playing Our Song was no accident when she volunteers a ballad. So if you can't make it to the Carlyle when Bobby Short's on the boards, sit back and enjoy the world's best cafe entertainer at his most entertaining. As the song says, he's just "Too Marelous For Words"!

LaserDisc (LD) is a home video format and the first commercial optical disc storage medium, initially licensed, sold, and marketed as MCA DiscoVision (also known as simply "DiscoVision") in North America in 1978. Although the format was capable of offering higher-quality video and audio than its consumer rivals, the VHS and Betamax videocassette systems, LaserDisc never managed to gain widespread use in North America, largely due to high costs for the players and video titles themselves and the inability to record TV programming. It also remained a largely obscure format in Europe and Australia. By contrast, the format was much more popular in Japan and in the more affluent regions of Southeast Asia, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia, being the prevalent rental video medium in Hong Kong during the 1990s. Its superior video and audio quality did make it a somewhat popular choice among videophiles and film enthusiasts during its lifespan.
