Episode 149:Skylark,Someday My Prince Will Come, Liza, Central Park West
Manage episode 292264491 series 2150622
Once again I’m talking about some timeless great melodies and lyrics and some of the ways they get reinterpreted by jazz artists.
I start with some great (and one not-so-great) recordings of Skylark, written by Hoagy Carmichae and Johnny Mercer, for a musical that never happened. And the melody was based on a Bix Beiderbecke improvisation.
Someday My Prince Will Come was written by the same person who wrote Who’s Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf. I play two great versions fully and just a snatch of the ‘original’ as well as a bit of the first jazz recording.
Liza (All The Clouds’ll Roll Away) was first sung by an audience member in a musical. Mind you, the audience member was Al Jolson and it was probably a gimmick. I play an amazingly fast version by Bill Charlap, as well as an interpretation by Oscar Peterson.
Central Park West is a John Coltrane composition that only recently has found some lyrics. Two different sets. And another sung version by Lakecia Benjamin and Jazzmeia Horn has no lyrics. I play all three versions plus the original, and each one is so different—so you won’t get tired of it. I assure you!
