Jazz for aficionados
orpheus Thank for your warm and colorful stories and for assigning me the role of an elegant woman with a hat. But just to make you smile and all in good fun of course. ; ) |
There is often something indescribably right about the way that the composer him/her self delivers a song. Simple, direct and without any pretense nor concern about the listener judging the possibly limited vocal and/or self-accompanying ability. No attempt to jazzifize the song, but to simply let the essence of the song come through. Whether it’s the “best” rendition or not, I always find it very interesting and puts all others in a certain perspective. Beautiful song! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VgQJvNhuiAE A favorite: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2CwPnp2VCYM |
orpheus, I am not quite military type of the person but could not think of anything else that would be quite opposite to the flattering image of the elegant woman with a hat. ; ) However, this subject of women in army opens different subject of my interest. It is the case as rare as woman in army. Or I could be wrong? Women in jazz. Not women as singers but women as piano players, trombone players, guitar players, drummers... You're all welcome to post the suggestion. Thank you. |
