Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from April 1, 2022 Favoriting

Bronwyn Bishop's avatar View Bronwyn Bishop's profile Favoriting

Musical theater from off the beaten path. Obscure and unusual show tunes from within the canon and without, flops, failures, and the newest works from up-and-coming artists—plus tried-and-true hits. Also, occasional appearances from songs that are not show tunes (but only if they go really well with show tunes).

BB, I’m guessing you didn’t hear All Things Considered tonight, in which they interviewed the author of a new novel, “Let’s Not Do That Again,” a political-family comedy. One character stops working for his Congresswoman mother and decides to write a musical on the early life of Joan Didion. The author explained that he chose this because, “that would be the worst topic in the world for a musical.” I thought of you immediately!
Oh, and hello, darlings!

I think that "It's Magic" has fallen into obscurity (except for Bugs, of course). The only exception I know is a great performance by Eric Dolphy. www.youtube.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:01pm
doctorjazz:

Hey, LG, I wasn't sure which bass player you were referring to (been doing office work I've been stalling all day while listening).
But, to answer the question, don't know Marc Lalonde either. I Googled quickly, not tons of info there either; he does seem to be a Canadian bassist, but not much written about him (there's also a Canadian politician by the same name).
That's a great Dolphy track-don't think I connected it with the original tune when I heard Dolphy's, nice to put them together.

I just saw the early Kurosawa film "Ikuru." The characters suddenly break out into song at one point, without subtitles. After a while, it occurred to me that these Japanese people were singing Rosemary Clooney's hit, "Come on-a my house"... in English! Very strange. It isn't a musical, by any means. The characters were doing this as part of the action.
