Kern–SB, Ol Man, McGlinn, Bruce Hubbard
Today, we are going to listen to the third and fourth versions of “Ol’ Man River.”
The third version is the most recent, and it was part of the 1987/88 John McGlinn restoration. It flows from the original Robert Russell Bennett orchestrations and was intended to capture the original tempo and style of the 1927 Broadway show. it is excellent.
