Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from May 14, 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).

I recently came into the possession of a large collection of all the essential cast albums ever thanks to the great Amanda Nazario

Quite a popular source of inspiration to Broadway composers, that old bard, Will Shakespeare!

Low royalty fees.

Not quite Public Domain?

Gerry from Miami:

That tune by the sassy Miss Sarah Vaughan, "Darn Thst Dream," has been a standard for years. Used as a jumping-off point for some of the greatest improvisers in jazz.

Gerry, the Nancy Wilson version, oh boy
  8:39pm
Gerry from Miami:

When I lived in southern California, Nancy Wilson made her home less than 5 miles from me in the Rolling Hills area on the Palos Verdes peninsula. I think her husband was some ultra-rich businessman. My mom loved her music, so growing up, we had a lot of Nancy's records around the house. Both she and Sassy have remained lifelong favorites.
