mary-jo, That Srayhorn selection was awesome! I really dig Ozzie Bailey's vocals on that song. Perfect.
The quote by Fernando Pessoa is very thought provoking.

Jazz for aficionados
pjw, Billy surely knew how to pick his music companions. Ozzie's vocal fits the song perfectly. As if Ozzie finds himself in this song. So as Billy. When this happens, I guess all goes with the flow. (Now I sound like I'm coming from the The Unbearable Lightness of Being novel.) I like Ella when she sings this song too but imho, Ozzie does it more effortlessly. Maybe somebody else sees this differently. One more from Billy's garden. If I would not know that he was a jazz composer, I would think of him as a botanist. : ) This one is very dear to me, Lotus Blossom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0oLYCdoDC8 Pessoa (I do not know how many souls I have...) is remarkable poet. |
