Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from April 29, 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).

Maybe Twitter will be even more profitable? (I'm guessing that is one of the goals, aside from the obvious political ones).

Good theme. I was supposed to start a new job 05/02. Now it's 05/09 because they "couldn't finish sll the access and onboarding tasks" by today. Plausible, but we'll see. I peed in a cup and everything.

Avatar 🎭 7:24pm
Listener Gregory:

I read the book of They Shoot, and I didn't feel the need to see the movie, as I knew what kind of horror it would contain. I don't think all the spectators were rich people, though. Just regular people would come to gawk and also fantasize about the prize, if I'm correct.

"Not Licensed for Radio Broadcast." Good thing we're on the stream.

Note that the stage show was "Gay Divorce" and the movie "Gay Divorcée" because: reasons.
Avatar 🎭 7:33pm
Listener Gregory:

I once read liner notes that said that Fred Astaire may have introduced the greatest American songs to more people than any other singer, through his movie performances (and also commercial recordings like this one). He is not a technically great singer, but he has a nice, straightforward delivery with natural phrasing that is a lot more tolerable than many singers of his time.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:34pm

I like Astaire's singing (but I agree, he's not technically a great singer).

Dizzy Gillespie did the jazz classic version of I Can't Get Started-almost another song in his version.

Kern was the master of a graceful key change.

Astaire was also great at bringing out the humor in songs. But please don't play The Yam! I'm begging here.
Avatar 7:44pm
still b/p:

The Swing Time number that goes with Pick Yourself Up is one of my definite favorites of Fred and Ginger's dances -- I think top choice. In the film she sings it to him before their simply staged peppy dance blows the socks off the dance studio boss after Fred first feigned no ability with teacher Ginger.
Happy.

The movie is lots of fun, but is a kind of "Making Of" bio pic and not the actual show of The Cradle Will Rock.

Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:09pm
WR:

Marvelous Ethel Waters performance.
Avatar 8:14pm
still b/p:

A big "No" from a reviewer always has potential to be somehow satisfying -- because of the jive and junk that producers run by us so often, I suppose. A new mini-series about getting "The Godfather" made gets a raking here, if anyone's interested.

My Primary Care Doc saw new Funny Girl. Not a fan of the new singer, but thinks she's a fine actress.

Of course, Louis Armstrong has THE version of I Got a Right to Sing The Blues (Cab has heard Louis' version, overdoing it a bit, if you ask me).
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:23pm

Though, overdoing it WAS Cab Calloway's trademark!

I'd post the link to the Funny Girl review, it's on NJ.com, but is behind a firewall, you only get to read the 1st 2 lines

‘Funny Girl’ review: People need people, but they don’t need this
Avatar 🎭 8:29pm

I wonder if they should have gone out of town on the "Funny Girl" reboot. The original was a slog with too much of everything. and trimmed down (such as it was) for the Winter Garden.

Chris Connor does a much livelier and jazzier version of "Ten Cents" on her album "Classic," Contemporary 1987. Some excellent jazz musicians chip in.

(did you find an audio dealer to ask about the speakers?)

@doctorj, not yet. I have to do an internet search. Maybe I can get something cheap on Craigslist. (These are not for my real stereo; only for movies.)

Yo be fair to Hoover, he did a lot of good managing food relief to Europe after WWI. That was before he helped destroy the world economy.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:51pm
doctorjazz:

Ah, as I said, sometimes it's only the driver's surround that wears out (loses it's flexibility), that's not a big repair, but unless they are fairly pricey to begin with, may pay just to look for a replacement.
Avatar 🎭 8:53pm
Listener Gregory:

Do you still have audio dealers in NJ? Most have closed, it seems to me, except for ultra high-end.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:59pm
doctorjazz:

There are still some audio dealers here in NJ, though audio dealers in general, if they're not a big chain, deal in "ultra high end". That doesn't necessarily mean $100,000 systems, but more expensive than Best Buy might be selling. (many components that are good are less than $1K)
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:59pm
doctorjazz:

Getting to the end, really enjoyed the show, thanks, Bronwyn!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 9:00pm
doctorjazz:

(There are less audio dealers than there used to be here as well, and many shifted to installing Home Theater).

Great show, BB! You really did your homework for this one. Let’s hope we aren’t making our own Depression musicals in another year or so.
