Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from February 9, 2024 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).

Whatever this song is, someone locally put it on her answering machine. Strangers like me were hearing her sing about the lovelight in my eyes. That's none of her damn business!

They did some wonderfully peculiar treated piano stuff that's rather startling in contrast to the stuff they did much later.

The story about oscar rules being changed so only songs written explicitly for movies to be qualified for awards. I recall there being some discussion regarding Ryuichi Sakamoto's soundtrack contributions for Revenant.

He just wants a calculator
But he's got an oscillator
He doesn't want to play no tune

I liked this whole set, though I was wondering about some of these song choices.
Avatar 🎭 8:28pm
Listener Gregory:

Treemonisha is a really interesting work. It has a female hero(ine), and the men decide to defer to her, because she is educated. It also takes place within a wholly African-American community. Joplin essentially went broke trying to get it put on in a real production, which never happened. 80 years later, the world said, "Oops!"
