Frank never sang the song before 1977 so the WWII use of the song is inaccurate.
thanks!
oh weel it’s like gringo’s
that came from soldier with the green coats crossing the border to Mexico
Since people saying be aware of the green coats turn out to be be aware of the gringos!
Apparently not true either either
Thank goodness it cooled down some during the night. Starting off with:
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers “The Sesjun Radio Shows Vol. 2” Out of the Blue/Timeless Japan cd
One track from 1980, the rest from 1983.
On to a Louis Armstrong vocal-centric release, “Satchmo Serenades,” Decca, Japan cd
Orchestra conducted by Sy Oliver.
Downright cool this morning. . . quite welcome!
Found this cd while flipping through a shelf and decided to play it. A great Clarke-Boland small group backing Mark Murphy–great arrangements and support from Francy Boland.
Mark Murphy “Midnight Mood” MPS cd.
Followed by this new arrival, a great Charles Tolliver reissue.
Charles Tolliver and his All Stars “Right Now and Then” Strata East cd
This was formally released as “Paper Man” . . . Charles with Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Joe Chambers on drums, and Gary Bartz on alto on three tracks..
Listening again to Johnathan Blake’s “My Life Matters” Blue Note cd
There is so much here. Quite a musical statement. . . and a more general statement as well.
A quiet still cool morning here. I’ve already given Tobi his first walk of the day.
On to another Johnathan Blake cd, “Homeward Bound” Blue Note from 2021. A modern masterpiece.
Acoustic Bass – Dezron Douglas
Alto Saxophone – Immanuel Wilkins
Drums, Cymbal – Johnathan Blake
Piano, Keyboards – David Virelles
Vibraphone – Joel Ross
I went to the iTunes Store to listen some extract
When the first song start I thought I broke my Phone, That’s not what I was expected
I will have to dig more in it tonight
But his approach is very different it merit to dig deeper In it!
Thanks for sharing that’s what I like about this form never know what you will get out of the hat!
When Maria Schneider mattered to me. She lost me big time with Data Lords.
It cooled down nicely overnight again. That’s a trend I can really enjoy, helps me sleep well.
Starting off with a new edition of a classic recording I have always really enjoyed–Miles Davis “Ascenseur pour L’Echafaud” on the new Fontana 2 cd reissue. The sound is likely identical to the previous reissue, but the packaging is much better–in a hardbound “book” rather than a slipcased 2 cd digipak and a separate booklet.
Now
Now a more modern, stereo recording. I’ve really started to enjoy Kendrick Scott’s drumming and have begun exploring his leader sessions. This Blue Note cd from 2015, “We are the Drum,” is quite nice.
Bass – Joe Sanders
Drums – Kendrick Scott
Guitar – Michael Moreno
Piano, Electric Piano [Rhodes] – Taylor Eigsti
Saxophone, Bass Clarinet – John Ellis
Recorded at Sear Sound, New York, NY
under thunderstorm Today and a huge one in the afternoon, with tornado warning!
Starting the day with:
Should play AC/DC to goes with the weather, but didn’t feel like that!
I plug my UPS system for power surge, in case of! so Lp’s when it happen! it’s temporary fun, when the grid goes down, it became so quiet! music took all the place!
An early morning listen prior to a short day hike in the Necedah Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge is basically a hummocky area created from the most recent glaciation ice melt. Known as a significant bird sanctuary, especially for whooping cranes, second to the Horicon Marsh. In this heat bird viewing opportunities may be limited, but what the heck I’m up for a nice short hike.
Regarding the music, Wild Up, Julian Eastman Vol. 1 Feminine a 2021 release on New Amsterdam Records. Julian’s music falls in the New 20th Century Classical Minimalist category. An under appreciated composer whois no longer with us, his compositions now receiving some attention.
I like clarinet a lot as well. My Dad played clarinet and bass clarinet in school and for a bit after that.
