Magician Rob Zabrecky is famed for his unique fusion of illusion and absurdist humor, which is on view regularly at L.A.'s legendary Magic Castle. His all-new variety show -- entitled An Evening with Rob Zabrecky: Mourning the Moon, Digital Dancing, and Witchcraft for all ages -- runs for one night only, and features highlights of that offbeat act, along with singing, dancing, audience interaction and feats of parapsychology. His special guests include Imaginary Bear (featuring Tanya Haden) and music by Liberty Larsen and Shayne Eastin. Zabrecky's career began as the lead vocalist, songwriter, and bassist for alternative Silverlake stalwarts Possum Dixon, who released three albums on Interscope Records in the 1990s, and he also boasts credits as an actor and author.

The Hollywood Hotshots are five men playing vintage "hot" music -- the show I saw centered around 1932. Instrumentation is violin, guitar, bass, percussion and cornet; the guitarist doubling on 4-string banjo and the cornetist on trombone. The guitarist does most of the singing.Written on Feb 14 2008
While the music is fun, it's not (nor is it meant to be) funny; think of a non-dixie Firehouse 5 + 2; the early Bonzo Dog Band without the satirical elements; or Spike Jones without the noisemakers. The guys have a good time, but are serious about their music. I wouldn't say they're all virtuosi, but they're plenty good.
Special guests are a recussing feature of the Hotshots show; generally announced in advance. The performance I saw included vocalists Johnny Crawford (the child actor turned bandleader) and "Family Guy" creator Seth McFarlane on vocals. Stylistically, Crawford was in a Bing Crosby vein; McFarlane (perhaps surprisingly good) channeling Dean Martin -- anachronistic, but fun. Both could have used a bit of rehearsal, but there was a certain charm to the spontaneity.
Additionally, Van Dyke Parks came onstage from the audience to play piano and sing an Al Jolson tune (I think it's called), "My Home in Pasadena."
