Jazz for aficionados
Surprised that you are not raking the reviewer over the coals for daring to say anything negative about icons like Duke and Ella. Actually my first post was just as you stated, almost word for word, but a little more 'explicit'. Closed the window by mistake and had to write it again. Thought about the Regulators / moderators and thought I'd better play it safe. Thanks for your insight into the performance. Cheers |
Today's Listen: Carmen McRae -- CARMEN SINGS MONK with / Al Foster(drums), George Mraz(bass), Clifford Jordan(Sax), Eric Gunnison(piano), Charlie Rouse(tenor sax), Larry Willis(piano) Notes, explaining why different titles are listed on the CD. "The reason for these title changes is simply insistence by the music publishers, since the instrumental versions have become part of a separate Monk literature." Outstanding support from the instrument players. Most of the Lyrics by Jon Hendricks. straight, no chaser https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnjFkuxwpFY ruby, my dear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFE6GiMcL7g well you needn't https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paYODQGwdz4 blue monk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3qK3mpaSPE rhythm-a-ning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLszKax6L-U Has anyone else ever tried to 'sing' Monk?
