Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from April 8, 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).

Wow, a director! Things are moving along!
I'm doing okay, went back in the office for two days this week and there was a fun party so we could get acquainted again.

Bronwyn I missed being in the office a lot! Everybody was so happy to see each other. I work with people all over the place so doing everything with Zoom or Meet wasn't a big adjustment like it was for some of my friends.

Those Pablo records were known to be well recorded/good sounding, and usually sold for a dollar more (which sometimes made me pause and pass, $8 instead of $7. ahhh...

The Goodman quartet was one of the greatest groups in jazz history. Seems that there are horns added to this performance. Always exciting.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:27pm
doctorjazz:

according to Wikepedia, Avalon rose to #2 on the charts in 1921, for those of you keeping score...
  8:28pm
Dean:

I picked up a multi-LP set of Sarah Vaughan Pablo recordings many years ago when Tower was shutting down its jazz inventory, pennies on the dollar. An amazing set of recordings!
  8:29pm
Listener Gregory:

Avalon was one of those swing standards that is never played now.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:32pm
doctorjazz:

That's funny, Dean, Tower in NYC had a bargain outlet down the block from the main store. I got a 3 box set of Sarah Vaughan The Complete Sarah Vaughan on Mercury there, also on the cheap.

Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:34pm
doctorjazz:

WH, I spent many hours in that Annex, back in the day...
  8:35pm
Dean:

Once upon a time my Tower purchases would be mis-priced in my favor EVERY time I shopped there. I felt bad about it for about two seconds.

"Tower Records Annex" to me means the classical music annex on Sunset Blvd. I spent quality time there, and I miss it to this day.
Avatar 🎭 8:36pm
TonyR:

The Philly Tower annex was where they sold premium blank VHS tapes.

I did get to see Robert Goulet in a revival of Camelot, but he was older, and played King Arthur in the version we saw.

I would guess that having Elton John do your demo would increase its probability of success considerably.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:42pm
Webhamster Henry:

This actually sounds a lot better than Elton John.

Listener Gregory:

I took a job in NYC in part because it was two blocks from Tower Records and Other Music. Imagine my feelings when both closed!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:42pm
doctorjazz:

@Dean, The NYC Tower Annex did have a ton of classical records, maybe mostly classical records, but other genres made it there as well

I'm not gonna make it to 9 without a charge.

It was a constant challenge, @doctorj. And then someone told me about the Downtown Music Gallery, which was just a few blocks away then… There went my retirement fund!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:47pm
doctorjazz:

@LG, I still have that Sunflare tab open on Bandcamp (but at least it's name your own price...)
  8:47pm
Dean:

The arrangement in LA on Sunset was a major outpost of Tower Records to the north across the street from Puck's Spago, and the classical annex, which was purely classical, directly to the south. I met Cheap Trick and the Ramones at the latter, Andy Summers at the former.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:48pm
Sweet Corn Lizzie:

I walked past a huge used bookstore in San Francisco on my way home, for 23 years.... or why my house is filled with boxes of books and I'm broke. But happy.

^Er, vice versa. Cheap Trick and Ramones at Tower proper, Andy Summers at the classical annex.

Hey, CT and the Ramones are classics.

How did we get here??
@doctorj, I think I paid US$9. Or maybe 9 of some other currency. They want to be paid in Euros or something.

Not going to point out that Sentimental Mood is not a show tune. This is free-form radio, people! Bronwyn, you just follow your heart. Thanks for an intriguing show!
