Program Notes
Give My Regards to Broadway is a George M. Cohan classic. The verse is included in this arrangement and is rendered in a nostalgic lyrical style. The chorus then appears as a typical Broadway two-beat. A light "soft-shoe" segment is followed by a Dixieland rendition, featuring clarinet, trumpet, trombone, tuba and drums. The grand finale is reminiscent of a bright march, a la John Philip Sousa.
- Program Note from publisher
Give My Regards to Broadway is a song written by George M. Cohan for his musical play Little Johnny Jones which debuted in 1904 in New York.
Cohan, playing the title character, sings this song as his friend is about to sail to America, looking for evidence aboard the ship that will clear his name for allegedly throwing the English Derby. He is sure he'll become a star on Broadway, therefore signing off with: "Give my regards to Broadway."
