Jazz+ Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Any suggestions for songs for solo piano for a "Mad Men" theme cocktail party? I'm thinking: Mack The Knife Fly Me To The Moon - Sinatra Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - The Platters Guantanamera Take Five Fever Georgia That's Amore Ain't Misbehavin' Satin Doll All Of Me As Time Goes By Blue Moon When Sunny Gets Blue Mercy, Mercy, Mercy There Will Never Be Another You Just Friends How High The Moon I Can't Get Started Like Someone In Love Night And Day It Could Happen To You Girl From Ipanema St. Thomas Find 660 of my jazz piano arrangements of standards for educational purposes and tutorials at www.Patreon.com/HarryLikas Harry was the Technical Editor of Mark Levine's "The Jazz Theory Book" and helped develop "The Jazz Piano Book."

Jazz+ Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Here's a list of actual songs used in the series, I don't think many of these actually suit the characters very well : http://www.madmensongs.com/ Some are from The Great American Song Book and there's pop stuff from the 60's and 50's Find 660 of my jazz piano arrangements of standards for educational purposes and tutorials at www.Patreon.com/HarryLikas Harry was the Technical Editor of Mark Levine's "The Jazz Theory Book" and helped develop "The Jazz Piano Book."

Threadslayer Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Sounds like it could be a pretty fun gig. You might consider throwing in some 60's protest songs like The Times They are a Changin' or Blowin' in the Wind Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
