Who said summer was a time to kick back? I don't know about you, but this season, more than any of the others, finds me over-scheduled, behind-the-8-ball, and with all this rain, under-gardened, under-hammocked, and under-tanned! However, the PLAYLIST must go on!
This week's selections run from the gritty "So What?" of Lotte Lenya (from the original production of Cabaret) to the light as air and optimistic "Sunny Side of Every Situation," from 42nd Street. We also have a couple samplings of Karen Ziemba, one of those great Broadway voices...from Curtains and Steel Pier. Also two of my most favorite character songs: "Miss Marmelstein" sung by 19 yr. old Barbra S., and "Her Is" with Stanley Prager and Carol Haney. Incredible voices... Stanley's is nasally appropriate, even Carol (with only 2 words to repeat) uses the perfect Brooklyn-by-way-of-Canarsie twang.
Hope I have time for all this! And I hope you can join me...Sunday at 3pm, Jazz 90.1...
