New York City Cabaret Music
February 15, 2008
 This
week on Afterglow we feature songs from The Erteguns’
New York: New York Cabaret Music. Compiled by Atlantic Records
co-founder Ahmet Ertegun, this collection chronicles the
cabaret jazz singers that he and his brother Nesuhi enjoyed
seeing in the world of 1940s and 50s Manhattan. Performers
include Sylvia Sims, Mabel Mercer, Chris Connor, and lesser-knowns
such as Mae Barnes and Ted Straetter, all of them offering
up stylish, elegant, and witty musical fare from the Golden
Age of hip supper-club entertainment. We’ll also have
two tribute sets to singer Ella Fitzgerald.
Afterglow airs every Friday evening at 10:05 p.m.
EST on WFIU. Broadcasts are made available for listening
at any time the following week in the Afterglow
archives.
