Bagley's Jerome Kern Revisited, Vol. 2 2019

This is the second volume of Jerome Kern we’ve released and it’s another complete delight, with a great cast including Joanne Woodward, Kaye Ballard, Sandy Stewart, Jerry Stiller, Anne Meara, lyricist Sheldon Harnick, Sarah Rice, Arthur Siegel, and more. The musical arrangements and musical direction are by long-time Bagley regular, Dennis Deal. There are, as always, lots of great Ken rarities, a treasure trove of great tunes with great lyrics by some amazing lyricists, from shows such as Sitting Pretty, Oh! Boy!, Love O’Mike, High, Wide and Handsome, Nobody Home, The Canary, and others. That is the joy of these albums, not hearing the tried and true, but hearing the neglected and unknown. There are two bonus tracks from a revival of Show Boat, too, and as always, we’ve really spruced up the sound, and we of course give you the great Harvey Schmidt artwork.
