    Avant-Pop...

    Post Modern Variations takes 20-30's pop tunes made into 50's pop tunes and retrofits it to 70's-80's pop, which is now retro sounding... making it all great big...Supra-Pop!

    This is demo stuff and for you to think of the possibilities as we wend out way to creating an amazing album and live show.

    Treat it with care and love, it's classic hand-crafted art.

Writer(s): Rodgers/Hart Look at yourself, if you had a sense of humor You would laugh to beat the band Look at yourself, do you still believe the rumor That romance is simply grand? Since you took it right on the chin You have lost that bright toothpaste grin My mental state is all a-jumble I sit around and sadly mumble Fools rush in, so here I am Very glad to be unhappy I can't win, but here I am More than glad to be unhappy Unrequited love's a bore And I've got it pretty bad But for someone you adore It's a pleasure to be sad Like a straying baby lamb With no mammy and no daddy I'm so unhappy But oh, so glad!

About WeeSmallHours
Operatic tenor Nathan Granner one of Sony/BMG Masterworks recording trio The American Tenors has put together a new band “The Wee Small, headed by avant-pop composer Jeffrey Rukaman.

The new group has been electrifying audiences with their new arrangements of Iconic Idols. First in the volume is Frank Sinatra.

Nathan Granner and The Wee Small take the 16 classic songs from Sinatra’s 1955 smash record “In the Wee Small Hours” and turn them into a triple dip pop show that is at once stadium rock fantasy, at second a delightfully humorous turn and at thrice is an emotionally impactful performance that leaves audiences gasping, cheering, thanking and wanting more.

The impeccably crafted arrangements of Jeffrey Rukaman are masterfully played by Gerald Spaits on electric and standup Bass, Scotty McBee on Drums, guitarist Greg Singleton and P. Alonzo Conway on percussion and a plethora (el guapo) of instruments, as well as Rukaman himself, also on a number of instruments and Nathan Granner, who is his own instrument.

From Tibetan Monk to David Coverdale to Torme’ or even Sinatra or Buble’, not to mention the warm tone of his classical chops, Granner’s voice delivers emotion and words as if he’s lived every single note.
