Here's the playlist for tonight's Divaville. I had a blast, even though I was completely exhausted and the headphones were dead so I couldn't hear myself during talksets. Found some excellent stuff on the Jazz vinyl shelves, including a Johnny Hartman record, a Tony Bennett/Count Basie collaboration, and some 30s big band swing I'd never heard of. Oh, and of course, Cole Porter's Aladdin. Done for television in 1958. With Cyril Ritchard, Anna Maria Alberghetti, Sal Mineo, Basil Rathbone and Akim Tamiroff. Sadly, Tamiroff didn't have any songs. But the Cyril Ritchard number I played was a wonderfully goofy bit o' Porter. Had a very nice call from a listener (who, strangely, seemed to have been previously unaware of the existence of Divaville) asking about a Blossom Dearie song I'd played, and about "No Wonder Taxes are High." Turns out I mis-spoke to her. I speculated that it was unlikely that Cole Porter's Aladdin had been released on CD. I was wrong
