O-10:
Shelia Jordan was good, but no match for Trane, and / or, Oscar Brown Jr. They own those tunes.
Cheers

Jazz for aficionados
That time of year once again. If you like the POP stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFc7STuQF0U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svo17Dgs3PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svo17Dgs3PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBFXAEhWsio For Jazz, I recommend Oscar Peterson, and Wynton Marsalis. The REAL stuff, tomorrow. Cheers |
Rok, comparing Sheila Jordan and Trane was apples and oranges; the tune originated with the play "The Sound of Music", this is the original "My Favorite Things". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33o32C0ogVM While Trane's version was killer jazz, it's a long way from the original, and that's why Sheila tops Trane; her version convey's the "essence" of the tune. In the case of Oscar Brown Jr., you were referring to "Dat Dere", when your post read for "My Favorite Thing". Since he wrote the Lyrics to "Dat Dere" I would hope that he captured the essence of that tune better than anyone else. Here's Herby Hancock "Maiden Voyage", done by Herby; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwmRQ0PBtXU Again, here's "Lenny Andrede"; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B2WicKm0dc I spent a lot of time cruising in the "Duece", while at the same time going on Herby Hancock's "Maiden Voyage"; Lenny Andrede takes me back to that time; what Tony Bennet said is irrelevant. Enjoy the music. |
******While Trane's version was killer jazz, it's a long way from the original, and that's why Sheila tops Trane; her version convey's the "essence" of the tune.****** Sometimes the original can be improved upon. What do you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-lHrDPjGfQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX2n2EE2hls http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSGc0bx-kKM or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOQwxup-jv4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XurWUn5_S_E9 If I could only listen to one version of "My Favorite Things", I would chose Trane, or, Frederica von Sade.
