Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from February 12, 2021 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).

Roberto:

Oh my. The Impossible Dream was arguably my late father-in-law's favorite show tune, but I don't think he would have gone for this one.
Avatar 7:11pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

I wonder how the critic John Simon, who hated Mitch Leigh so much he shat on him in reviews of other people's musicals, felt about this
Avatar 7:14pm
Roberto:

I thought you were going to say he hated him so much that he literally shat on him.
Avatar 🎭 7:14pm
Listener Gregory:

Why not go to hear a musical to hear exactly the same music they were playing in the clubs or on the radio (disco piece)?
Avatar 7:15pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@Roberto: I wouldn't put anything past the late Mr. Simon, who was legendarily cruel, although he was nice to me when I tried to get him to review a very tiny play I did press for
Avatar 7:18pm
Roberto:

I think he reviewed my dad once. We had the book with the review in it (it was called Acid Test) so I'm guessing it was a positive one.

This is a fascinating cover!
Avatar 🎭 7:19pm

Is this an Italian group?
Avatar 7:20pm

@Gregory: Sarava wasn't actually a disco musical, but all musicals in 1979 got disco covers, even Sweeney Todd

I can't find any info on Onderoad- I found that cover in a random Spotify playlist- but I do believe they are Italian based on the album title

Hi all!
Avatar 🎭 7:25pm
Listener Gregory:

The label is Italian, but the singer's accent was unidentifiable (by me).
Avatar 7:25pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

hi doctorjazz!!!
Avatar 🎭 7:30pm
Listener Gregory:

Hey, @doctorj!
Onderoad sure is obscure. They seem to have some albums on Apple Music, but can't discover anything about the group. Also searching for them on Amazon returns results for "underpad" instead. Not recommended.

Ooh 110 in the Shade! The score for this is realllly good.

In case you're wondering why we BOTH have scratchy phone-voices...it's because I used this call recorder app thing

Let’s all send Bronwyn questions to ask in her pre-recorded interview.

I found this story inspiring as a person trying to make a small musical

I’m imagining some of the conversations... “I’d like to use your synagogue for a play we’re putting on? It’s called Urinetown?”
(Door slam!)

I have that Hal Leonard Urinetown book.

It's sad you had such a hard time getting this guy to answer questions.

Hi Lizzie!! Glad you liked the interview :D

great interview! i don't know how much editing you did but it seemed like you just had to press his start button and away he went. LOL.

“Something’s Coming” is truly great.

They got some lucky breaks in the Festival and production department! And it is popular with theatre groups; my (ex) sister-in-law directed a college production.

So I detect Bill Evan’s?? Not sure.

Listener Gregory:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:33pm

This Ed Ames cover recalls the time when people used to just go to a show on a date after work, and then go to a club and hear a combo like this.
Avatar 8:34pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

I wanna go on a date like that when things reopen
Avatar 8:35pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

I remember feeling really adult when I was 22 and my then-boyfriend and I went to the Village Vanguard and drank martinis (I hate martinis)
  8:35pm
doctorjazz:

George Cables, fine player (played with Art Pepper, and his own bands, of course).
Avatar 🎭 8:36pm
Listener Gregory:

George Cables! Great pianist. I don’t think of him as an Evans disciple, but the slow parts here are spot-on Evan’s style. Not the rhythmic interludes though.
Avatar 🎭 8:37pm
Listener Gregory:

@Doctorj, I actually heard him with Dexter Gordon. That was an experience I’ll never get over.
  🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:39pm
WR:

Bronwyn, again, the interview was excellent. you obviously made him feel comfortable and open to share all that happened to get him to Broadway.
  8:40pm

never saw Dex, but did get to see Cables. Great show!

@Henry: I wish I was illicitly recording a Broadway flop in 1970 right now
Avatar 🎭 8:53pm

OK, I’m familiar w the musical Pouse-Café (that is, I know it exists). BB, there is an official recording out for it now, on a very small label. It’s a reconstruction of the original.
