Bronisław Kaper: "On Green Dolphin Street" plus one or two

Don't even remember the original version song by Ivie Anderson A Day at the Races in 1937.

Another youtube posting of it has the following comment:

One of the greatest, most under-appreciated vocalists in the history of American music. What a spirit! And such a great song--if you dig it, by all means check out how Bud Powell turns it into a bebop anthem

Just found a great version of “Invitation” sung by Rosemary Clooney, the lead track from her 1963 album Love that was recorded in 1961, a collaboration with Nelson Riddle, with whom she was having a affair! Guess I’ll have to reread Girl Singer.

Wasn’t really released because label at the time was RCA/Victor who didn’t put it out for some reason so Sinatra ending up buying it for Reprise.

Girl Singeris amazing by the way. Even better than I remembered it.

Oh wow. URGENT AND KEY DIGRESSION INSERTED HERE. Rosie was sitting on the couch and participating in the chat when Iggy and Bowie were on The Dinah Shore Show.

Before I leave this thread for future generations to discover the night I will say that his one other song of note, while far from a jazz standard, is still a serviceable little film ditty, and has been covered many, many times, perhaps as many times as “Gloria” if maybe not quite as many times as “Louie Louie,” including once by Dinah Shore.

Was watching a movie the other day that famously has no music, no soundtrack score that is, this being Executive Suite, but there is some incidental music on the soundtrack, in particular when Louis Calhern is making a phone call at The Stork Club, where the piano player starts playing something that seems to be nothing other than “Invitation.”

Guess I should mention his other composition of note, which is “Hi-Lili Hi-Lo.” Here is the original version from the movie “Lili” starring Leslie Caron.

Here is a version by Dinah Shore along with our old friend Frank De Vol.

Britishes may remember the driving upbeat version by The Alan Price Set.

Bizarrely there was a film on TV earlier on where I was momentarily distracted by the cool titles and extremely bombastic theme music - which I noticed was composed by Bronislaw Kape. Then I noticed George Peppard was playing a German Jew and turned it over.

... Kaper.

Interesting. The only film I can find connecting him to George Peppard is HOME FROM THE HILL.

Oh wait, maybe it is TOBRUK.

Indeed.

Always get that confused with TOPKAPI.

Watched a bit of LILI tonight. That song is an earworm.
