PLAYLIST FOR “BIRDS” (AN ARCHIVE SHOW FROM 3.19.11)

11 Mar

I took the week off to renew my poetic license. This required standing for hours in a long waiting line, keeping my head when all about me were losing theirs and blaming it on me; and listening to everyone around me muttering something about “the road not taken.” A really creepy experience. Ok, I’m not so happy with my license photo (why did the photographer tell me not to make eye contact with the camera?), but at least I’m good to go for another year.  Talk to you on Saturday night.

PLAYLIST FOR “SALUTE TO OSCAR LOSERS” (2.23.13)

I was going to do a show of Oscar Winning Songs, but was afraid I’d have to play Rod Stewart’s cover of “It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp.” So instead: each of these songs (except the last one) was nominated for an Oscar for Best Song in a Motion Picture; but every one of them lost.

PLAYLIST FOR “BROADWAY VS JAZZ, THE VOCAL SMACK-DOWN” (1.26.13)

27 Jan

I know it wasn’t really a fair competition, not when jazz (-inflected) singers can change characters with every song they sing, and look for  colors of melody and nuance of lyric to emphasize or embellish; while Broadway singers have to stay in character, become a part of a story, and yet still button an emotional moment. But this was a great excuse to listen to some of my favorite singers push the boundaries of their comfort zones.
