He actually asked me if I wanted to do <em>Sch\u00f6ne M\u00fcllerin<\/em> first. I wanted to do something more outside my usual milieu. Always loved Billy&#8217;s voice, ever since going to Jazz Camp with Ranee Lee as a teen. Him, Joe Williams, Jimmy Rushing, Eddie Jefferson &#8211; a whole other world that isn&#8217;t Sinatra, Martin, Como. Anyway I wanted to sing some of Billy&#8217;s hits, David Warrack was available to play around with me. I&#8217;m even trying to get my valve trombone chops back into gear to see if I can&#8217;t take a couple of solos \u00e0 la Mr B. that&#8217;s about it. No high concept or anything. Just a chance to bear my secret musical heart for one evening.<\/p>\n<p>I figure if Rufus Wainwright can play Opera composer for a while, I can play romantic jazz balladeer for one night.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For all the details, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/326114580768335\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here, as a teaser, is the Mister B himself, in a rare bit of film footage of &#8220;Lonesome Lover Blues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Eq1SgZubGLc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p><em>John Terauds<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto baritone Peter McGillivray is a fabulous art song interpreter (his CD, Summer Schemes, is a must-listen).
