Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from April 16, 2021

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).

	🎭 ♥ 6:55pm Listener Gregory: Damn! I only got new dancing shoes! I am always one week behind these things.
	♥ 7:00pm Bronwyn Bishop: hi Gregory!!!
	7:01pm Andrew Hollywood: Hey LG n BB and all
	🎭 ♥ 7:04pm Listener Gregory: I will swear on my mother's grave that Rhapsody in Blue was introduced on the concert stage and not in a musical. No? Hi, Bronwyn, Andrew, and lurkers!
	🎭 ♥ 7:08pm Listener Gregory: This is with Bernstein playing the piano parts, no?
	🎭 ♥ 7:17pm Listener Gregory: Ferde Grofe is best known for writing The Grand Canyon Suite.
	🎭 ♥ 7:19pm Webhamster Henry: Hi!orchestrate! Ferde was a busy guy! Also arranged King of Jazz Paul Whiteman.
	🎭 ♥ 7:20pm Listener Gregory: Also, jazz composer/bandleader Willem Breuker wrote his own orchestration of Rhapsody because he didn’t like Grofe’s. I have heard it, but the original is so familiar to me, I just kept thinking, “This doesn’t sound right.”
	♥ 7:20pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi Andrew and Henry!!!
	♥ 7:20pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: Yes Lenny on piano!!
	🎭 ♥ 7:23pm doctorjazz: Big Breuker fan here, LG, he can do no wrong by me.
	♥ 7:23pm Bronwyn Bishop: hi doctorjazz!!!
	♥ 7:23pm Bronwyn Bishop: i know I'm just playing this to make a point about orchestrators, but if I ever write a lyric a tenth as good as this one I can die happy...I wish she'd written a musical
	🎭 ♥ 7:25pm doctorjazz: I have that Rhapsody in Blue be Breuker, but haven't heard it in a while.
	🎭 ♥ 7:26pm Listener Gregory: www.discogs.com...
	🎭 ♥ 7:26pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, I heard him live once. Incredibly entertaining group.
	🎭 ♥ 7:31pm Listener Gregory: This is a remarkable song (Hazelwood/Sinatra).
	🎭 ♥ 7:32pm Webhamster Henry: I hope you get to Van Dyke Parks, the guy I think of when thinking of orchestration. And Morricone.
	♥ 7:33pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: I'm obsessed with the line "Remember me to no one, I was born this afternoon." I hope to have a moment like that in my life someday
	♥ 7:34pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: Dammit I forgot Van Dyke. I love him. I've played him on the show before though. I didn't forget Ennio :)
	🎭 ♥ 7:37pm doctorjazz: Saw Breuker a few times, almost always a great show (the last time was not long before he passed, show lacked the manic energy of the previous ones)...even my no-fan-of-free-jazz wife had fun at one of the Kollektief concerts! ELO!!!
	🎭 ♥ 7:39pm Listener Gregory: Sebesky is also a big-band jazz arranger. I think he had some albums on CTI back in the day. I didn’t know about his Broadway arranging.
	🎭 ♥ 7:44pm Webhamster Henry: He orchestrated a piece of my friend Brian Woodbury on Brian’s new album. Brian is no orchestral slouch either.
	🎭 ♥ 7:46pm Webhamster Henry: There’s also Hans Spialek, who did lots of musicals and kept a diary every day from 1912. en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 7:48pm Bronwyn Bishop: in case you're wondering why i'm playing this next one, it's because it was orchestrated by GERSHON KINGSLEY!
	🎭 ♥ 7:49pm Webhamster Henry: Got any Cyranos or Hunchbacks this week?
	♥ 7:51pm Bronwyn Bishop: No, but I should have played something from the Disney Hunchback because its orchestrations are amazing
	🎭 ♥ 7:58pm Listener Gregory: There is real orchestrating going on here (People Will Say), without an actual orchestra. Very nice.
	🎭 ♥ 8:14pm Listener Gregory: Bronwyn, my orchestrations would make you laugh, but not in a good way.
	🎭 ♥ 8:36pm Listener Gregory: This Titanic song is annoying me!
	♥ 8:40pm Bronwyn Bishop: but is it more annoying than my heart will go on?
	🎭 ♥ 8:41pm Listener Gregory: Fortunately, I am not familiar with that song. I have led a sheltered life.
	🎭 ♥ 8:52pm Listener Gregory: Nice!
	🎭 ♥ 8:53pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bronwyn, loved the show!
	♥ 8:53pm Bronwyn Bishop: thank YOU doctorjazz!!
	🎭 ♥ 8:56pm Listener Gregory: Great idea for a show. Thanks as always, BB!
	🎭 ♥ 9:00pm Listener Gregory: Give the orchestrator some!
	♥ 9:01pm Bronwyn Bishop: thank YOU gregory and thank you orchestrators!!!!
	🎭 ♥ 9:02pm Listener Gregory: Hamlisch benefited greatly from the New England Conservatory’s ragtime band, which initiated the revival. My understanding is that the producers asked Gunther Schuller (the band leader and expert in early jazz) to score the film, but he declined.
	9:03pm Andrew Hollywood: thx Bronwyn. I have been entertained :)
	🎭 ♥ 9:03pm Listener Gregory: But could be wrong!
