Sarah -- I've mentioned before that when I got into jazz in HS I joined the Columbia Record Club, so most of my selections were jazz. That's how I got initial copies of Kind of Blue, Time Out, and What Is There To Say. But I had to include at least one vocal and this is the album I picked -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-91ZKvNiiJcSo you could say she and I go way back. ;^) |
Just to set the record straight, I love Nancy Wilson, and the way and type of songs she sings. Just messing around with all the joke stuff.
I was debating whether to order Sarah in the land of Hi-Fi this morning. I thought I had her with Clifford Brown, but apparently I don't. That's another one I want.
Beautiful clips.
Cheers
The diva joke? I was just 'quoting'. Time honored practice in Jazz.

pjw, great Sarah! Beautiful record. Thanks for that. |
**** Two Jazz Divas, and Nancy Wilson walk in a bar.**** That’s pretty good. In Jazz, that’s called “influence”. Can’t escape it 😊. About two weeks or so ago I posted: ”Two musicians and a drummer walk into a bar” Great Sarah. One of my favorites of hers. Those Mercury’s are awesome. Her voice changed quite a bit as she got older, getting huskier and her diction less precise over the years. Amazing singer. Going back 12 years. Leaner voice, more precise diction. Not a bad thing. Another favorite of mine. Ernie Wilkins arrangements. Cannonball killing on alto. Not too often we get to hear Cannon leading a section: https://youtu.be/aKAR2n5Pd_Qhttps://youtu.be/0hmg-uPsbgQhttps://youtu.be/Fra23n_wHMAhttps://youtu.be/WW6b6vVdodc |
Just to laugh on your joke would be too simple...
By the way, I like the music. |
:--) I am glad you got it. Eventually. ;--) |
I am sure you are implying something but can't figure out what...
LOL The Queen's sense of humor is just toooooo sophisticated for this country boy. Cheers |

You so serious. Tax man again? |
The so-called joke about the escalator at MSU is not funny. Ok, I agree but no need to point that out. |
|
I think you people have missed your calling. All that's missing is the drum rolls.
The so-called joke about the escalator at MSU is not funny. Supposed one of the students trapped had experienced a medical emergency?
Some things should be off limits to 'comics'.

But too bad if some gentleman never treated you to a romantic, candle-lit dinner. pryso, we are just joking. Oh, I had dinner(s) but the history has shown that the most non-romantic person and no candle-lit type has eventually shown himself to be the kindest one. So what’s the use of candle-lit dinners on a long run? :--) |
mary_jo, that spelling joke is an old one. It was funny (humorous) to me that it has traveled around the world in all these years. Also, you know this but I'm not the same person as pjw. ;^) But too bad if some gentleman never treated you to a romantic, candle-lit dinner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4TtJ0ZP0MY |
What?! That is horrible. No candle light?! No sweet nothings in one’s ear?! No footsies?! NO NANCY WILSON?!!! Nooo....and after (you know what), we cover ourselves with blanket from tip to toe and kindly ask: Is it over? If that is not romantic I really can’t say what it is. No, when we made things clear, you’re surely agree that it is better sooner than later, we can continue with jazz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4LSr9vUqbA (I am gonna need one after moderators get me) |

Speaking of candle light dinners and footsies; and to beat Rok to the punch 😊:
“My love life in NYC is terrible. The last time I was inside a woman was when I visited the Statue of Liberty.” —Woody Allen

**** where I come from, we use candlelight only if somebody is dead or if power supply is down...:--) ****
What?! That is horrible. No candle light?! No sweet nothings in one’s ear?! No footsies?! NO NANCY WILSON?!!!
You continue to crush my fantasy. Now that it doesn’t matter at all I can safely let you know one thing: I have all my teeth.
Somehow, I feel better; like a weight has been lifted. Thank you. Hey, speaking of down power supplies:
Q: Did you hear about the power outage at the Mississippi State University library?
A: Thirty students were stuck on the escalator for three hours.
😊 |
Pretty funny.
Hey, why not? Staying on that politically incorrect bus and speaking of candle light dinners:
Q: What’s the most popular pick up line in Mississippi?
A: Hey, nice tooth |
Good morning everybody. It's morning here so it has to be everywhere. Speaking of being Mississippi-ish, here is old one for you... Spelling Mississippi
A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation.
The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of he men say the following:
"Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time."
"You foul mouthed swine," retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country we don't talk about our sex lives in public!"
"Hey, coola down lady," said the man. "Who talkin' abouta sexa? I'm
just tellin' my frienda how to spella 'Mississippi'." |
Man does not live by BBQ and corn bread alone. Nothing like a nice candlelight dinner sometimes. fro, where I come from, we use candlelight only if somebody is dead or if power supply is down...:--) |
It is funny, at least to me, how any given song is "OWNED" by a particular singer, to one's self personally. Well said... |
Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderly' version of "Save Your Love For Me" is my favorite. It is funny, at least to me, how any given song is "OWNED" by a particular singer, to one's self personally. |

Mary Jo, if you will notice, she did raise her voice a little on ’Save your love for me’, that’s considered raw emotion among the Jazz elites of NYC. Lol... I know it’s bad that I even say a word against the lady who is indeed great singer but you understood me well. |
Thx fro for Susan, will check for more...
|
pryso, Sassy but classy. A classy kind of sassy... |
|
|

The voice is absolutely great but the emotion...where is the feeling?
showing feelings is considered bad form in some circles, like her targeted audience for instance.. Mary Jo, if you will notice, she did raise her voice a little on 'Save your love for me', that's considered raw emotion among the Jazz elites of NYC. Cheers |
Now I understand better the difference between New York- ish and Mississippi-ish.
The Queen get's it, as do all true Jazz Aficionados. Cheers |
Love Janis. Like Nina....usually. Janis, as raw as can be; but I don’t hear so much anger......love it, always have. My wife likes Southern Rock (I do too) and has been listening to this singer. I kinda like her (like my wife, too 😍): https://youtu.be/9lLaBPHtGYchttps://youtu.be/ZrSK-0-MQ8shttps://youtu.be/88LNk-_Tfr8BTW, Phil Woods “Sail Away”.....as NY as it gets. So much for silly labels. **** exceptions **** Not really my experience. **** You’ll know when you meet the other type, what opposite of quiet looks like.**** I don’t think we need to look far 😊 |
Thank God!
Sometimes it’s the quiet types that a man needs to be careful with and sometimes it’s the quiet types that are bes.......I should stop. Fantasy on. 😊 :--) I know what you mean. If I may say something. :--) Those are exceptions. Exceptions are possible. Mostly, if she is too quiet, she is too quiet. She might go to flame once a while because of restraining herself to long but in general, she is quiet type. You’ll know when you meet the other type, what opposite of quiet looks like. |
I like when they are more "wild", not too much but just about enough, but that's just my own preference. |
Thank God!
Sometimes it’s the quiet types that a man needs to be careful with and sometimes it’s the quiet types that are bes.......I should stop. Fantasy on. 😊 |

Fro, that’s completely another song...I was NOT saying about Nancy Wilson in every song but ONLY in that particular one when she saw her love with another woman. Just remember, in Mississippi they put ketchup on just about everything 😝. They do? Uhhh...that’s bad...:--))) |
Nancy Wilson, no emotion?! I am crushed. So much for this fantasy 😢. Just remember, in Mississippi they put ketchup on just about everything 😝. Man does not live by BBQ and corn bread alone. Nothing like a nice candlelight dinner sometimes. No emotion: https://youtu.be/EDLifqaldeA |
Imagine Etta James or Millie Jackson, doing "Guess who I saw Today". They would have shot the boy in the first verse! Song over. Now I understand better the difference between New York- ish and Mississippi-ish. The voice is absolutely great but the emotion...where is the feeling? She sings like she saw apples and oranges double pack instead preferred single pack in the store... This morning I was watching a TV show. There she was, a beautiful singer, all dressed up. I know her, I like her good looking and her voice, she is very good. But when she started singing, it was the new song, I was disappointed. It was not who she was, the song, the lyrics simply does not suite her personality. She looks like she could eat the man for breakfast, I just can’t believe her words when she moans about the lost opportunity in love and things like that. If you can't show that you can bleed, like the rest of us, ordinary human beings, I am not interested... |
ac, Phil Woods, The Little Big Band, Sail Away, me like it. |
