My only Times review so far to include Eddie Vedder and Zooey Deschanel in the lede graf. (Felt good to sneak in a Buke and Gase mention, too.) I went into this one slightly skeptical, despite a vivid review by Allan Kozinn of the ensemble's 2010 Zankel Hall concert, but came out a convert: The show is a pop-savant's delight, with nostalgic kicks for multiple generations. The medley in the video I've embedded below is a great demonstration of what the ensemble is about.
