*sighs deeply and checks Lady Gaga’s 2023 Vegas setlist* 1 Broadway, 4 TV/film themes, 2 Latin American standards, 1 Italian-American standard, 1 Neapolitan standard (?????), 1 French standard, and all of 1 jazz standard. Which is mostly just swing and big band.

#music #jazz #lady gaga #*bernie sanders voice* i am once again asking you #not to confuse jazz with swing and/or…literally 20th century pop #really not liking this wholesale lumping into ~jazz standards #trying to gentrify show tunes and movie theme music into the jazz umbrella i see #i got my eyes on you 👁️#i mean i completely get saving the music from obscurity but #let’s not forget the immigrant whites and broadway people involved #like that’s literally the majority of her oldies ser #whatever happened to #the great american songbook #let’s bring that back shall we #cristina is a music lover
