Jazz for aficionados
Rok, here's "It Ain't Necessarily So"; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4THBVc47ug&list=RDz4THBVc47ug I could listen to her music all night and never get bored; the more I listen the more I want to hear. Our job is to "separate the wheat from the chaff"; meaning she had to make a living, which means whatever was popular at that time, plus there's the matter of recording quality. I'll have to do a lot of searching before I can make recommendations on which CD's to buy. Enjoy the music. |
The Trumpet 'exchange' on 'I got you under my skin'. The winner is?_______ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC7n6SREFew The more I play this disc, the better she sounds, and the more I like it. You notice the details on repeated playings. Cheers |
Today's Outrage: On a British TV talk show, discussing the war on drugs, The moderator used Billie Holiday, as an example of how drugs can be beneficial to an artist, by making them more creative. He prefaced his statement, by saying he was a great Jazz fan. They say there is a Planet Annihilating asteroid out there, with the Earth's name on it. Hurry, Please Hurry. Cheers |
Rok, Dinah was one hot sister, and she was only 30 when she made that album. I'm super sensitive to female vocalists when they still have that "girlish" quality in their voice. When you combine this with the very best young jazz musicians, it comes through the music; it don't git no better than that. Your experience mirrors my own. Presently I'm on a mission that's led to "analog"; that's that dreaded stuff that requires deep pockets, 3K minimum to beat CD. My cartridge recently had an accident, the clumsy thing ran into my hand. I paid $35 for records that weren't on CD, and shortly after that they came out on CD. Hopefully what's available only on records will be available on CD in a short while. I have yet to find CD's to recommend. Enjoy the music. |
