Some "Fantastick" excerpts with harpist Kate Sloat

Hello! My name is Dan Pardo. I am a NYC-based music director, arranger, and pianist, and this is PARDO'S TURN, my Web Series/Podcast. In each episode, I will analyze an iconic showtune from a music director's point of view, and perform the song with some terrific friends and colleagues. If you're curious to hear how the construction of a melody relates to its lyric, the implications of a certain harmonization or rhythm, or what an orchestration choice might suggest, then please subscribe and take this journey with me!
