Rooster_Ties Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Here’s what surely must be a quite obscure Schoolhouse Rock ditty, about base 12 numbering systems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Sometime in the 1980s, I heard Bob Dorough singing/playing "These Foolish Things." I think it was live. Anyone know what album this may have been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 I think I know him only from one track he did with Miles, I think on "Quiet Nights" or so.... But......he died more than 3 years ago ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorough, Frishberg, and Blossom Dearie were part of New York rat pack of literate, jazzy, and humorous caberet-ish singers/pianists/songwriters. People of a certain age group in the US know him through the Schoolhouse Rock interstitials that Rooster Ties posted above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to say, I don´t know his song "I´m Hip" and it seems I wasn´t so well informed about jazzy and humorous caberet-ish singers etc, since at that age I was completly into jazz pure and didn´t listen to anything else. Now being a bit older I can get fun out of contemporary german/austrian shlager like DJ Ötzi, Ben Zucker since my wife likes it very much and it´s the music we dance and make garden partys even if it´s only us two, thats the finest thing to enjoy live without always needin company... For my own interest and playing efforts it remained jazz, so the only association I had was that Miles album (anyway my wife bought it for me once for birthday ).

Many would consider Dorough, Frishberg, and Blossom Dearie to be "jazz pure." They were jazz singers/pianists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Dryden Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 I caught him at Iridium on a Sunday after IAJE ended. His set was a lot of fun and he later recorded an Arbors CD there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
