The Big City (1057)
Music of The Big City is what we're exploring this time on the program. Songs that reflect the musical landscape of a 20th century metropolis. Songs that talk about tall buildings, busy traffic-filled streets, and all the hurried people that fill the urban environment. Songs that explore the feelings and emotions about living the metropolitan life. We hear from Nancy Wilson, Mel Tormé, Tony Bennett, Elmer Bernstein, and more.
