This week on the program, the music of Tin Pan Alley. This genre includes notable songwriters such as Irving Berlin, George & Ira Gershwin, Sammy Cahn, Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer, Jerome Kern, and the list goes on and on. And many songs that came from Tin Pan Alley became standards and part of what we now know as The Great American Songbook. During the Atomic Age, what you get is a re-imagining and re-interpretation of a lot of these standards. And that’s what we’re looking at this time around…how hi-fi artists approached the tried-and-true tunes of Tin Pan Alley. We’ll hear from The Mills Brothers, Louis Prima, Dave Pell, Eartha Kitt, and more.
