Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from November 13, 2020 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).

Good evening, theater lovers. I am only here for the roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd.

Was wondering if Doug had added The Nice to the drummer stream catalog but then saw it is 7pm. On break for a couple of hours so can pay attention sorta.

Nice Overture!

Had forgotten about this rendition of America. Works better than some of Emerson's bombastic "cover" tunes.

Sorry, I only listen to *authorized* musical biographies. It’s a matter of principle.
Avatar 🎭 7:30pm
Listener Gregory:

@WebmasterH, I would pay to see that.
Avatar 7:30pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

Gregory does that mean you won't come see my unauthorized musical about Howard Ashman and Alan Menken? :(
Avatar 7:31pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

I am actually a bit miffed that whoever came up with this stole the title of "weirdest unauthorized non-jukebox biographical musical" from me
  🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:32pm

*authorized* i think that is how you do air quotes in *social media* isn't it not?

2010 for this?

Hmmm, Billie Holiday it's not.
Avatar 🎭 8:09pm
Listener Gregory:

Interesting! The Body and Soul lyrics are not quite the same as the ones that became the standard in later years (going by Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, etc. versions).

This is "Cocoanuts" the stage show before the movie!

Did they sing "get yourself a monkey gland"?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:12pm
Webhamster Henry:

Yes! The Viagra of its day!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:13pm
Webhamster Henry:

Similar to the "Goat Glands" in this story: www.wfmu.org...
Avatar 8:14pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

Wow...I didn't realize that weird line about the glands was an actual reference to a fad of the day...
Avatar 8:15pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@doctorjazz: Do you mean Follow that Girl? The album was reissued in 2010 but it came out originally in 1960
Avatar 🎭 8:15pm
Listener Gregory:

The problem with monkey glands is that they're almost always overcooked.
Avatar 🎭 8:16pm
Listener Gregory:

Bronwyn, is there something about this kind of album cover design (Best Foot) that was typical of Off- and Off-Off-Broadway shows?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:16pm
doctorjazz:

Even 1960, they got a recorded sound that made me think 30's.
Avatar 8:22pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@Gregory: I don't know much about design so I'm not sure if that style has a name or anything, but I love it!! I love the bright colors and bubble letters of 60s design, I have been known to pick restaurants in NYC because they have that type of lettering on the awning
Avatar 🎭 8:25pm
Listener Gregory:

My parents had albums like that. I thought maybe The Fantasticks album had that design, but no.

Love this Miles! (This was our compromise wedding choice between my show music loving wife and her jazz obsessed guy)

What a great band Miles has on this.

This tune doctorjazz? Nice.

This is the one, If I Were A Bell (couldn't get Miles, but had a good band do a nice version)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:30pm
doctorjazz:

TRANE!!!
Avatar 8:31pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

there is more trane where that came from :)
Avatar 🎭 8:31pm
Listener Gregory:

This was back in the day when Miles could keep Coltrane down to only two choruses. That didn't last.
  🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:32pm
WR:

I can't remember what the ex chose except that they were light classical like Pachelbel.
  🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:33pm
WR:

We had recording for the church and musician friends played the reception. Barely remember any of that day. Just highlights.
Avatar 🎭 8:35pm
Listener Gregory:

@WR, any combination of "light" and a form of music makes me shiver, as if a ghost had just run through my spinal chord.
Avatar 🎭 8:36pm
Listener Gregory:

Mary Poppins! Brownyn, I remember mentioning this a few weeks ago.
  🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:37pm
WR:

Some one else played this Coltrane Chim Chim Cheree on FMU recently, or I played it to myself.

I'm with you LG. Same with her...
Later Trane (would NOT have worked for my wife at the wedding)

Bronwyn Bishop:

@Gregory: Yes thank you for inspiring me to play this :D
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:39pm
doctorjazz:

I've heard it somewhere on FMZ recently as well.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:40pm
doctorjazz:

FMU, of course...
Avatar 8:40pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

when I was a kid FMZ was the station I would tune into to find out if we were having a snow day :)
  🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:41pm
WR:

Understood LG and there are surely some that would take issue at me saying Pachelbel is "light". Context plays a part, and some gaining wide distribution outside knowledgeable audience. Some one quick, stop me from going down this hole....
Avatar 🎭 8:43pm
Listener Gregory:

Yes, it's not Pachelbel's fault that one piece is so overplayed.
Chim Chim Cheree is a bit better than I remembered, but I am still struck with the strong possibility that it was the idea of the record company to capitalize on the success of My Favorite Things.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:44pm
doctorjazz:

(typo alert: my post 8:38 was meant to say..."same with beer")
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:46pm
Webhamster Henry:

Chim Chim Cheree on WFMU: wfmu.org...
  🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:47pm
WR:

LG, did you say that last week on AJH or on another program?

Yes, somehow that Eason Chan song spoke to me to.
Avatar 🎭 8:48pm
Listener Gregory:

@WR, two or three weeks ago on this show.
@WebmasterH, interesting list. Do I WANT to hear that song played by bagpipes?
  🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:49pm
WR:

Thanks WHH, I must have gone and played it after LG said something about it in comments.
Avatar 🎭 8:50pm
Listener Gregory:

It was for the show of Unexpected Show-Tune Covers, as I don't think anyone predicted a jazz version of that song, much less a Coltrane one.
  🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:51pm
WR:

Rufus Harley music deserves consideration. I stepped around it for years and was pleasantly surprised when heard it on FMU.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:51pm
doctorjazz:

I remember the comment, WR, somehow I also got it in my head that I heard it around then.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:53pm
doctorjazz:

Have some music by Rufus Harley somewhere...tbh, extended listening didn't hold up (for me, of course). But fun in small doses.
Avatar 🎭 8:55pm
Listener Gregory:

A macaronic lyric is one composed in multiple languages. Just read that and felt it should be known.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:56pm

I thought it was one composed while eating pasta.

I am now determined to write a song in multiple languages just so I can say I've written a macaronic lyric
Avatar 🎭 8:59pm
Listener Gregory:

Traditionally, it's done in both Latin and the local vulgar language, if that helps.
Avatar 9:01pm

I just realized there is a bit of yiddish in the musical I'm working on now (a tiny, tiny bit) so there you go, I've done it already
