Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from July 21, 2023 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).

With all the rain, the cotton is really not that high now. Also, the heat in the south killed it. So, all in all, cotton has seen better days.

Turkenburg played a piano roll Gershwin with Tilson Thomas conducting a band of Rhapsody in Blue last Saturday on his Sheena FDL show last Saturday. I really enjoyed it. Was surprised to learn it was a piano roll piano performance.

The Miles Davis/Gil Evans record Porgy & Bess is very good and also includes some selections seldom heard outside of the opera, like the street-sellers calls and Buzzard Song. (By "very good," I mean it is a work of towering genius, btw.)

The version of Summertime on that is KILLER (one of the earliest jazz pieces I heard. It's included on The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz).

↳ Song: "Summertime" by "Eddie Jefferson"
Hey, I have this record!! Not only that, but I heard Eddie Jefferson in concert back in... 1978? And it was one of the funnest shows I have ever seen. It was in a college cafeteria of all places. That was one of the first live jazz shows I ever saw. I suspect he performed this, which got radio play at the time.
Avatar 🎭 7:27pm
Listener Gregory:

(Towering genius—Gil Evans, that is.) Funny, as I'm writing this, the band backing Jefferson plays some licks from that Evans arrangement.

Sounds fun. Never saw Jefferson in person, but have a few of his records and always enjoy listening to him.

The Miles Davis/Gil Evans version was released in 1959, and I think it serves as inspiration or a direct source for a number of subsequent arrangements with orchestras or large bands (like maybe the Pilarova one).
