Lol, I knew you would say that. Although we did agreed on "Nancy Wilson case" that "look" can deceive.

Today's Listen: Anita O'Day -- ANITA SINGS THE MOST with / The Oscar Peterson Quartet Not my cup of tea, but a Diva nevertheless. All standards. Unremarkable notes. Recorded 1957. Verve. s'wonderful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8CBGqiNPDA love me or leave me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdTlFzBYqjs old devil moon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeyDaioKsgU bewitched, bothered and bewildered https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZLfaewin8A Is this her finest hour? She said she didn't remember this because she was high on Heroin. Drug addiction was a constant throughout her career. I do admire her tenacity. Lived to 87. sweet georgia brown (at newport) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN2xaiNkUdg Love the outfit. If that's a typical Newport crowd, I don't get it. Cheers |
That was the only version of "Sweet Georgia Brown" that I like; you could see the jazz in her soul, she was one of the greats. My favorite by her is "Early Autumn"; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vN3UfVuQV8 |
To me, other rankings are irrelevant; I am a "jazz aficionado" and I make my own rankings. When I go to the record store, who pays the cashier, me or the person who made the rankings? As to who is tops, that's based on something indefinable deep within; it seems that me and Nina connect emotionally. I connect with that green light that you see glistening down a railroad track late at night, it's a lonesome thing. |
