Jazz for aficionados
A lovely little rendition of "Autumn Leaves " with a fine Korean Bass , an Italian Violinist and an African guitar player .All doing what music should do , making life a bit better to those who pass bye . https://youtu.be/7t3xBqAWLaU?t=2 I hear that 0-10 . |
I was more than once about to say Jo Stafford in a few discussions on here but did not as I thought nobody had ever heard of her.Her she is with Ella for creds .Her beautiful younger voice on " Moonlight in Vermont " sold millions in a country with a third the population of today. It is a masterclass in breath control and hit every note dead center.Right there on You Tube . She wasn’t Ella but who was..With her perfect pitch she wasn’t embarrassed. https://youtu.be/ctyT-9o4Vl0?t=3 |
Here are the lyrics to "Angel Eyes". Whether it's an instrumental or vocal version, we all think of the same lyrics because the song came with words. When I listen to an instrumental version of this, it can give the words even more power. Try to think that love's not around But it's uncomfortably near My old heart ain't gaining no ground Because my angel eyes ain't here Angel eyes, that old Devil sent They glow unbearably bright Need I say that my love's misspent Misspent with angel eyes tonight So drink up all you people Order anything you see Have fun you happy people The laughs and the jokes on me Pardon me but I got to run The facts uncommonly clear Got to find who's now number one And why my angel eyes Oh, where is my angel eyes 'Scuse me while I disappear Angel eyes, angel eyes Hank Crawford's "Angel Eyes". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2doxAtCfRnE You can hear through Hank's horn, a tortured heart and a painful cry for angel eyes who's with someone else that night. He shares his pain with people at a lounge and buys them all rounds to drink to his misspent love. "Where is my angel eyes tonight"? I can hear Hank's horn crying for Angel Eyes, can you? |
frogman , if you can find time I would appreciate it if you could take a hear to the Alison Balsom post I just put on Classical Aficonados .What Pinnock can do with musicians is off the chart . Near perfect musicianship and Balsom is the most beautiful musician I have ever seen . O-10 a dead man could hear the misery if he knew the lyrics .You can't do an experiment on your self before and after the lyrics, I honestly don't know if I could know myself . That Hank is a play 5 times in a row for me . You guys who know jazz will get me in the poor-house yet looking for that vinyl ! |
Love Hank's version, love these too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ex73GrSTlg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If77_P8v7iE |
