All nice songs guys, thank you... 16 of something we had here yesterday. Same today. Sunny and obviously warm. Off to go to pick some olives. It's that time of year. Pursuing pure peasant look today. Bunch of man with typical man's language and me. No place for ladies with good manners. Ron Carter today

Impossible not to like a song like this... Placido and Nessun Dorma https://youtu.be/2RdJmqLrsboLyrics in english No One Sleeps
No one sleeps!
No one sleeps!
Even you, oh princess,
in your cold room,
look at the stars
that tremble with love and hope!
But my mystery;
it is locked in me.
And my name,
no one will know!
No, no!
On your mouth I will say it,
when the light will shine!
And my kiss will break the silence,
that makes you mine!
His name no one will know...
And we shall have, alas,
to die, to die...!
Disperse, o night!
Vanish, oh stars!
Vanish, oh stars!
At daybreak,
I will win!
I will win!
I will win! |
"English translation is the worst thing you can do to Italian Opera. Once we know what's being said, it distracts from the beauty of the music. Takes it from the mysterious and glorious to the mundane."
Are you saying that you didn't know until now not even the meaning of the first words Nessun Dorma? Ahhhhh.... :-))) :p :p |
I accept the remark geoffkait... |
Her persona...you mean her demeanour?
|
|
|
I had to recheck...yep, the same...
|
Can you name another opera that you like in particular?
|
Somebody said that italian opera in english language is as sensible as baseball in italian so I see your point. But still it's good to know basics at least, something to build your imagination further on...
I like your theme. It's very passionate. :-)) |
I can't believe it. I posted this before I saw the previous post. |
That's wonderful song. Appropriate for carbon based units. Love is the answer. Not the obsessive and possessive kind of love we usually see between two but the real one, the most challenging. When you have reason not to or when you have nothing of it, but you still care. That kind of love. That's high.
*appropriate jazz song which I cannot think of now*

"She was an Opera superstar and acted the part 24/7."
True. When she is on that stage, you can see that she dominates and "takes over" the whole stage. It's interesting to watch how she does it. I might not like her voice that much but I surely admire her performance. |
O-10 will check it when i get back to comp...

Huh, Gene Harris does it just the way I like it. That's jazz. And I know what I am saying. |
Lol...I am sure that fro has a plan, I bet he leaves nothing to chance. |
|
You see, I have just posted the same SB in the pre-previous post. And for some reason, in the other song I wanted to emphasize precisely the location Ste. Chapelle Winery, but I gave up. This is either telepathy or the end...

"If it sounds good, it is good."
Thank you 0-10. |
Good movies are rare to find these days. I’ve just watched one. Coen brothers.
Inside Llewyn Davis
Roland Turner: "What’d you say you played?"
Llewyn Davis: "Folk"
Roland Turner: "Folk? I thought you said you was a musician..."

The Hog calling blues is brutally nice.

What's going on Pjw, you still eating turkey? An hour ago, wanted to write something similar to pjw. |
As for the pjw, he rarely skips the thread, therefore is surely kidnapped and tortured with the wrong music. Some of us will soon get the message from the kidnapers, requesting funds in the shape of the most rare and precious jazz album. Start collecting. Important: pjw, if you are still here but unable to talk, click twice with the mouse. |
Can't say same for others. ;-) :-)

The way I see it. Getting high. I suppose you get to feel wiser, calmer, more intuitive, more optimistic, fearless, more focused, etc, take your pick. But once you are off the high mode, I guess you become more down than usual. So, to avoid being down, you need to get high again and high again. Than again, again until your brain and heart can take it. I am sure everything else gets slowly affected in the process. Vital parts at least. Eventually you do get numb. You feel the unbearable need for huge impulse in probably every part of your life. Only strong things can wake you up from your dullness. But even powerful impulse cannot last long. You get easily tired. Bored. Uninterested. Right substance that will keep you continuously satisfied, healthy and present in the every day’s life does not exist anymore. Your own existence becomes meaningless. Nothing seems to make sense. You feel lost and see death as the possible way out. But you do not mind it either, since being alive but dead inside anyway. A wise man once said. If you wanna become a good musician, you have to sell your soul to the devil. Another one, obviously also wise said: The best stuff was made out of despair. The third wise man once said nothing. The wisest one. Not necessarily in this order and not necessarily connected with the theme: Ella - When I get low I get high https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ev69AoBWaGw Julie London - Why don’t you do right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2f40eQcYXk Billie - Easy Living https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX7TA3ezjHc Julie - Cry me a river https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkD_kYkRk3c |
p.s.
Just to make sure. O-10. I understood it properly. Not to worry about it. Above written is not pointed to you. |
"He also gave Count Basie his first road gig." Watched documentary about Count Basie few days ago. Remarkable man and band leader. https://thebasie.org/countbasiebio/From the same article: "It’s believed that his experience in these roles ultimately lead to Basie’s reputation as a bandleader who had no issues with younger musicians taking up the spotlight." |
Hate to break the magic but the music is all about hard work at the first place. After you master the work you can call it magic or pjw’s turkey. The same, since it depends on your feeling (needed) preference. Am I right, fro? Or...?

Many candidates for the label of most creative in jazz; Satch, Ellington, Davis, etc. But for me creative means not only playing style but composing, and with both of those, finding different styles rather than always staying on the same path. With that I add my vote for Mingus. pryso, could not agree with you more. Your two-headed Annie Ross was and still is, very advanced kid. ;--) "I may have been only three but I was swingin'..." Thank you. |

What I can say in my defense? Absolutely nothing. I like blues.
"BLUE OH OH OHHH BLUES...."
Sam Myers - I Got The Blues
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-KluFB9A8M
Talking about the right key at the right time: "Myers was born in Laurel, Mississippi. He acquired juvenile cataracts at age seven and was left legally blind for the rest of his life, despite corrective surgery. He could make out shapes and shadows, but could not read print at all; he was taught Braille. He acquired an interest in music while a schoolboy in Jackson, Mississippi, and became skilled enough at playing the trumpet and drums that he received a non-degree scholarship from the American Conservatory of Music (formerly the American Conservatory School of Music) in Chicago. Myers attended school by day and at night frequented the nightclubs of the South Side." ~ source Wiki How easy was that? I have a neighbor who got blind at very young age. Today he is an adult, very modest and highly educated man. Plays accordion, guitar, piano. Got degree on history of art and music.
Runs few women's choirs. Travelling the world with a band. Got married with beautiful painter. Got two lovely kids. Talking about being strong. |

The Jazz Queen is in a provocative mood today. Spoiling for a fight.
Do I hear the pot calling the kettle black? :p :--) |
pjw, I agree for Sade. Beautiful voice. Very warm and kind of dreamy. Classy is the exact word for her stage appearance, I like it. And I am glad that you are back. I already wanted to suggest the guys that we should have formed the circle in order to keep the rest of gang safe. ;-) |
In case if you didn't know how to do it, here are the instructions:
J. S. Bach - "It's easy to play any musical instrument, just touch the right key at the right time & the instrument will play itself."
You see? It's easy as pie.

Howlin' Wolf, Goin' Down Slow. That's a good one. A prophetic one.

Interesting how blue(s) sometimes makes you feel less blue. Thanks fro. |
