Just in time for the Tony Awards, Joseph Lorenzo Wise is back in the tap shoes on his new single, "I MISS MY BROADWAY SHOW" an original Broadway classic by writers Joseph Lorenzo Wise and Cody T. Gillette, which features tap dancing in the audio track. "I hadn't tapped in years", Wise laments. Wise was one of the original Four Porters in "ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY" where he tapped across the stage at the St. James Theater for over year and a half!
Joseph says "I didn't know if the feet still had it, but they did, once I put on the tap shoes and the music started, the feet just came alive and by the end of the shoot I was tapping away, pretty good!"
Wise who played a Vocal Coach to two time Grammy winner Nate Ruess in the 2015 short film "The Grand Romantic" released a new album "SONGBOOK" in March 2016 featuring ten live performances. It also features a bonus track "Papaparazzi" the new hit single featuring the Beethoven Fifth, which charted at No. 2 on CDBaby's Easy Listening Classical Pop Chart and in the top 20 on ReverbNation. The inspirational songs range from spirituals, to pop hits to Sibelius. The CD also features one original song "Dreams" written in New York City in the 80s by Joseph Lorenzo Wise.
A CD Release Celebration and Fund Raiser is planned for Father's Day, Sunday, June 19, 2016 at The Founder's Center, in Los Angeles, where a portion of the proceeds will benefit The Founder's Center For Positive Spirituality.
Wise got the recording studio bug from Cy Coleman who was the first musician to take him into the studio. "I loved it! Along with being on Broadway, going into the recording studio was a giant thrill", Wise adds. Years later, that initiation would lead to another single "Life Is Like A Train", by Cy Coleman, Betty Comden and Adolph Green and now I MISS MY BROADWAY SHOW, Wise's own Broadway Lullaby.
