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

I am always swing-driven. I even sleep in one of those baby rocker things.

@Gregory: this is my curse, I can't get it to play louder for some reason, it is at top volume

This vocal (Speak Low) is a bit too dreamy for me.

I in fact found myself dancing with my wife around the table. Great fun... until I realized I'm not married. And I live alone. So, who IS this woman??

When you dance you're charming and you're gentle,
Especially when you do the Continental.

The Berrigan version of I Can't Get Started is terrific, but I'm partial to Dizzy Gillespie's version (which is a different animal...heard it before I heard Berrigan's)

You have painted yourself into a corner now, BB, because nothing else you play will swing as much as Benny et al. This is the ultimate. @doc will back me up on this. (I hope.)

Seems that your volume for music is set quite low. Once you start talking your voice comes very loud. Could you crank up the volume on music at least by couple notches?

Great show, Bronwyn. I heard a number of new things too.
