A recent discussion on Vinyl Asylum brought out a few fans of Anita O'Day, including YT. While searching for a new post of her classic Newport Jazz Festival performance (original I had was deleted) I discovered this "All The Best" album. So I offer that here for fans among you all -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKg9dHt-kgA |

...zzzzzZzzzzzZzzzZz I want English breakfast at 7 o' clock. Fried eggs, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, fried bread and tea and hot, buttered toast. And something nice to tell me. And a kiss. Sophisticated Lady - Duke Ellington and his orchestrahttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=brqxEdwsTQs |
Mary Jo,
Toot Suite:
It seems as if I failed to post some of the best music on "Jazz Party". Thanks for correcting that oversight.
The final section of "Toot Suite"(15:14) is called ’Ready, Go!’ On this track Paul Gonsalves comes close to having another "At Newport" moment.
"Sophisticated lady" was awesome. The Duke had the best Sax players ever!
Thanks.
Cheers |

Music has healing power. I really needed it. That Foreigner's was great. I used to listen it a lot, long time ago.
|
I doubt anyone has done as suave a rendition of this great standard . The fact that is done in the language it was written in plays a significant part . https://youtu.be/qNKhpG3apQU?t=3Not to mention it is the worlds most beautiful tongue . |
mary jo. Time and time again you show us men what we are without women in every situation . Fools !
I believe it is no accident that women lead the lands that do best .( except England )

ESTUPENDO!!!
I have the Duke with Mahalia Jackson, but after checking on Amazon, it seems as if the Duke had an entirely different side that was unknown to me. This was not a one-off sacred performance, he did it many times. How did it escape me?
The quality of the performances were outstanding. Dr. Bunny Briggs!! Wow. You can tell when the real 'Geniuses' are involved.
Thanks
Cheers |
That's great music fro. I think I have heard Come Sunday - Mahalia Jackson, first time when you posted it here. I find it very special. The tune, the song, the voice.

I have written my last post before I saw rok's estupendo post. |

I am trying to see the meaning of my pre-last post. Can’t find it. Trying again. Nope. Still nothing.

mary_jo is off for a while One of my first "finding love for jazz" tune. Art Pepper, The Prisoner. It makes me think that one is always a prisoner of something. Such kind of captivity lasts forever. Too long to be recognized. Dug to deep to be digged out. Peppe: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5utT5yiQAOo |

Glad you enjoyed Duke’s sacred concert music. He wrote three Sacred Concerts toward the end of his career. The music is seldom performed due to the number of performers required. He considered the music for these “the most important music I ever composed”. A side of Duke that is not heard often enough. That Benson record has been one of my “guilty pleasure” records since I bought the lp years ago. An example of when very slick and somewhat heavy handed production values actually work well musically...up to a point. And for audiophile kicks, the sound is great. All star producers and technical folk as well as players. From the same time period and even more to the pop side things: https://youtu.be/vs9NpxTPBy0https://youtu.be/-0buxo4VBFs |

George Benson -- "New Day":
According to the commentators, written by Womack and Womack. It definitely has that Womack vibe. They were on my Sony Walkman playlist whenever I went jogging in Nuremberg, Germany.
Art Pepper -- "Thank You Blues"
Indeed!! Great tune. When will they learn that you can't go wrong with the Blues. All Jazz sends it's thanks.
