Rok, once you enter "Mary Lou Ville" you never want to leave.
Enjoy the music.
Jazz for aficionados
Rok, Ali's music was traditional African music, it was unrelated to our blues in lineage, and the similarities in sound was a coincident. Music is the universal language when it comes to expressing emotions; while our words are different, when it comes to basic emotions, they have similarities in music from around the world, consequently we have "blue" sad music, that could be the same in Africa. Every since someone's trolley jumped the tracks in regard to all those far fetched relationships, you guys have been hearing things; next, someone will illustrate how chitlins are related to truffles. Enjoy the music. |
Today's Listen: Mary Lou Williams -- MY MAMA PINNED A ROSE ON ME O-10 I think you posted this one before. I just got it. Excellent notes in the booklet about the blues, and her childhood years. The Bass player, Buster Williams, is referred to as a virtuoso, and he is indeed that. I have not been able to find much on the vocalist, Cynthia Tyson. Do you know of her? The first clip is not from the CD, but is a tune she wrote and is played by Andy Kirk's Band. I liked it so much, I had to include it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz_hOe6LYsU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X4r5ZioIBw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXYf66KuKCQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEqAsXBj2EU Cheers |
