This week’s a special episode.  The weather has been so nice here in the northeast – even the spring showers we’ve had have been nice! – that I wanted to bring you a variety of up-tempo numbers.

We also close out this week’s show with a tribute to Lou Reed from Joseph Arthur – from a New York Standard of the past to a New York Standard of the future.

Enjoy!

This episode is a trip around all the music you’ve grown to love here on NY Standard.

We close, however, with the London cast of Jesus Christ Superstar & a tip of the cap from The Afghan Whigs to the same.

Enjoy!

This week’s show is back to normal with so many things.  We hear from some of my favorites plus a return of the ‘Broadway Bit’ featuring ‘The Secret Garden.’  To me, it’s one of the last great musicals that was produced with a bit of an old-school feel.

Enjoy!

This show is about ballads.  As much as I love to swing, I’ve always admired the ability of a ballad to make a person think – about love, life or the rest.  This week’s “Broadway Bit” is brought to you by Bernadette Peters – mostly.

There’s also a little blues in here, too.

Enjoy!

Last year, around St. Patrick’s Day – and since the holiday itself fell on a Sunday – I featured some traditional Irish tunes on that weekend’s show.  For this year’s show, I wanted to feature an entire show dedicated to mostly traditional Irish tunes.  I own enough to cobble together some cool stuff.

So, close your eyes…and lean back…put the headphones on…and drive yourself – mind you, on the left hand side! – through Ireland.

Enjoy this VERY special presentation.  I hope you enjoy it!

NY Standard – Episode 64 – Big Band Bonanza

I just finished reading a book about New York City from the 1880s.  At around the same time I finished it, I was listening to a lot of the Dorsey Brothers recordings from the 1930s.

So, I decided to do an entire show dedicated to nothing but big band.  There’s no Broadway Bit this week & nothing recorded after 1945 – except the weekly dose of Johnny Hartman, who didn’t start recording until 1947.

This is a special show with a lot of very special music.

Enjoy!
