Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from February 3, 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).

Interesting... my radio says I am listening to Acid Jazz Hands, yet I hear mbiras and goats. I wonder what show that is. I hope it's still running.

On Jan Turkenburg's Under 64 program he played a recording by Noel Coward and Gertrude Lawrence which has revigorated my interest at hearing and seeing all work by either of them that I can.

BB, Limehouse Blues perhaps isn't quite a jazz standard, but it's been played fairly often by jazz musicians. I think I heard George Shearing play it (on an album). It's got a bit of a dixieland feel.

How many recordings does it take for it to be considered a standard?

If you pick up P. G. Wodehouse and Guy Bolton's "Bring On The Girls," which I occasionally refer to here in the comments, there's a spectacular anecdote from Gertie about Noel on page 219.

23... but to be considered a jazz standard, they have to be jazz records or played in a jazz style, not just covers of the song.

Looking upstream, a killer recording of "Limehouse Blues" is Arne Domnérus:

I have only the vinyl, doctorjazz. Despite my reflexive resistance to these kinds of records--ahem, Jennifer Warnes doing Leonard Cohen tunes or Cowboy Junkies' Trinity Sessions--I really enjoy Jazz at the Pawnshop.

Ah, nice. I know you were joshing, doctorjazz, but I actually do enjoy records (for instance, almost all CIMP recordings) that deliver the space of the recording venue to my living room.
