WYNC’s Soundcheck Blog is streaming the entire original cast recording of Nice Work If You Can Get It, and I’m enjoying it far more than I expected to. I mean, what’s not to like about great Gershwin songs performed with a full orchestra by Broadway pros? Even Matthew Broderick sounds great on the album.
Turning problematic patois into LOLspeech amplifies, rather than solves, the problem, right? Just checking.
OK.
I posted a bunch of versions of “Summertime” last week, and I’m returning to regularly scheduled programming this week. But first! 30 versions of “Summertime” for your downloading pleasure, including all the ones I featured this past week:
- Abstract Truth
- Al Green
- Anne Brown
Reblogged mostly so I remember to listen to this when I get a chance.
