Jazz for aficionados
This is the perfect late night album; Julie London "Julie is Her Name". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fdynmsMomw&list=PLIYC6ekPW5P8QTm_-whNIQV4FVDlQD9be Ages ago when I was having trouble sleeping, for the usual reasons young people had trouble sleeping, I put Julie on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx977XZjtc4&index=2&list=PLIYC6ekPW5P8QTm_-whNIQV4FVDlQD9be This album reminds me of my youth, and if ever I needed that reminder, it's now. |
Wanna feel young? Julie ain't the answer. This should do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9E4O8RCzf4 Cheers |
Welcome mary jo, as o10 said, always nice to have more perspectives. And nothing wrong with "lurking", I often do it myself. But don't be hesitant in sharing what you like, newbie or not. o10, Julie London has been a favorite of mine for decades. I can't say I consider her to really offer jazz stylings, but I love her voice and she always seemed to have top-notch back up, including respected jazz musicians. Sad story: when in college some friends and I drove to Detroit to attend a major jazz fest at Cobo Hall. That offered many top artists, including Julie on the bill. I was excited for my first chance to catch her live. However as the concert continued on toward midnight she had not yet appeared. My friends became restless about the hour-and-a-half drive back to campus. I pleaded for them to wait for Julie to come on but they insisted on leaving -- with or without me. I had a choice, go with them or wait for Julie and find my own way home. I may have been young and foolish but the idea of hitch hiking out of downtown Detroit after midnight was not exactly appealing. So to my disappointment I never saw her perform. |
It's a funny thing that we both have getting stranded stories about the same time in our lives; you didn't take a chance on getting stranded in Detroit (Don't blame you) I got stranded in a small town in Indiana because I stayed too long at a nightclub with a good band. But fortunately for me, there were kind hearted people who let me spend the night at their house. You were trying to get back to college, and I needed to get back to the Air Force Base. Coming that close to seeing a goddess, (absolutely at that time) and just missing her is a very sad story. "June Christy" was another vocalist I liked at about that time; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn8EtaxGJP0 I like the story that song tells; here's another one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENEroxUE7Fc |
