Diana Krall - Jingle Bells - Clayton / Hamilton Orchestra

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay
Two-forty as his speed
Then hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! you'll take the lead.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells.... Jingle all the way...
.......................
I'm just crazy about horses!

Inga & Britta Swearingen - Ode To Joy - Ludwig van Beethoven

Gerry Mulligan - Night Lights och One Note Samba med Anton Carlos Jobim

Art Farmer, Bob Brookmeyer, Jim Hall, Bill Crow och Dave Bailey. Gerry Mulligan komp. och piano.
Vincent van Gogh målning.



Gerry Mulligan spelar för ovanlighetens skull klarinett tillsammans med kompositören av denna kända bossa nova-melodi, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Kanske är det den allra första gången Mulligan försöker sig på denna melodin, som då var ganska ny. Lägg märke till hur man diskuterar de avslutande takternas frasering.

Anita O'Day - Sweet Georgia Brown -Tea For Two

Newport Jazz Festival 1957

NO GAL MADE HAS GOT A SHADE
ON SWEET GEORGIA BROWN,
TWO LEFT FEET, OH, SO NEAT,
HAS SWEET GEORGIA BROWN!
THEY ALL SIGH, AND WANT TO DIE,
FOR SWEET GEORGIA BROWN!
I'LL TELL YOU JUST WHY,
YOU KNOW I DON'T LIE, NOT MUCH:

IT'S BEEN SAID SHE KNOCKS 'EM DEAD,
WHEN SHE LANDS IN TOWN!
SINCE SHE CAME, WHY IT'S A SHAME,
HOW SHE COOLS THEM DOWN!
FELLAS SHE CAN'T GET
ARE FELLAS SHE AIN'T MET!
GEORGIA NAMED HER, GEORGIA CLAIMED HER,
SWEET GEORGIA BROWN!

Vic Dickenson - S'posin'

Inspelningen är gjord i Kanada. Guido Basso trumpet, James Dale piano.
S'POSIN'
(Paul Denniker / Andy Razaf)

S'posin' I should fall in love with you,
Do you think that you could love me too?
S'posin' I should hold you and caress you,
Would it impress you, or distress you.

S'posin' I should say "for you I yearn,"
Would you think I'm speaking out of turn?
S'posin' I declare it,
Would you take my love and share it?
I'm not s'posin' I'm in love with you.

S'posin' I should say "for you I yearn,"
Would you think I'm speaking out of turn?
S'posin' I declare it,
Would you take my love and share it?
I'm not s'posin', I'm not s'posing,
I'm not s'posin' I'm in love with you.

Maria Schneider - Hang Gliding #2

Maria Schneider förmedlar i detta stycke upplevelsen av sin egen glidflygning (med hjälp av kunnig pilot) över Rio de Janeiro.

Maria Schneider - Hang Gliding #1 - Maria Schneider Orchestra

Maria Schneider som skriver all denna underbara musik.



Detta stycke förmedlar känslan av glidflygning och når sitt yttersta krön i Ingrid Jensens flugelhornsolo där man i suverän enskildhet och tystnad för några korta sekunder svävar på vingar i det sublima tillståndet av skräckblandad eufori, innan återfärden mot markytan tar vid.
11/8 sedan 12/8 under merparten av Ingrid Jensens flugelhornsolo. 1(3) 2(3) 3(3) 4(2)och 1(3) 2(3) 3(3) 4(3). När bakgrunderna börjar tränga sig på är vi åter tillbaka i 11/8 och även i det efterföljande tenorsolot.

Famous & Recognizable Jazz Artists

Här visas våra hjältar från femtiotalet i en inspelning från c:a 1952-53. Coleman Hawkins, 49 och Charlie Parker, 33 inleder. Kompet består av Hank Jones, 35, broder till Thad, piano , Ray Brown, 27 bas och Buddy Rich, 36 trummor. Därefter kommer Lester Young, 44 och Bill Harris, 37 i Pennies From Heaven. Avslutningsvis en hot blues och då har till sällskapet sällat sig Flip Philips, 38 tenor, basietrumpetaren Harry "Sweets" Edison, 38 och Ella Fitzgerald, 35 scat-singing. Alla dessa artister hörde vid denna tid till jazzpromotorn Norman Granz's stall.

Open Country - The Gerry Mulligan Quartet

Bob Brookmeyers Open Country med Gerry Mulligan baryton, Bob Brookmeyer ventilbasun, Wyatt Ruther bas och Gus Johnson trummor.

Inga Swearingen - Hush Little Baby

Detta klipp är från A Prairie Home Companion - radioprogrammet från St. Paul, Minnesota, som här firar 30-års jubileum med en filmupptagning av hela det direktsända programmet. Från 2004. Kolla månaderna september och oktober i bloggarkivet för ytterligare klipp med Inga Swearingen. Bli ett fan av Inga på Facebook.

Inga Swearingen - Caravan

Caravan har ju som upphovsman Juan Tizol, kompositören,ventilbasunisten, notkopisten, puertoricanen, practical jokern mm. i Duke Ellingtons Famous Orchestra.
Flera klipp med Inga finns i bloggarkivet - gräv!

Introduktionen Kinda' Dukish följd av Rockin' In Rhythm

Harry Carney, vanligtvis barytonsax, spelar klarinett här. Klippet är från sent 50-tal och Cootie Williams hade ännu inte återvänt till orkestern. Quentin Jackson trombonsolo flankeras av trumpetarna Shorty Baker och Ray Nance i trion.

Les Brown - The Billboard March - 1953

Här visas det Les Brown-band som gjorde inspelningen av Rain, dvs Dave Pell solotenor, Ray Sims trombon (broder till Zoot) syns till vänster om Pell. Trumpetaren Don Fagerquist, som har solot i Rain, sitter till höger bakom Pell. Trummis är Jack Sperling (fint arbete) liksom i klippet från 1985. Gitarristen är Vernon Polk. Snygga orkestersvidar....!
Saxsektionen innehåller två altar, en tenor och två baryton plus Les Browns alt.

Just Friends - Art Farmer Lee Konitz Åke Persson

Roligt att Åke "Kometen" Persson, trombon, dyker upp i detta klipp från holländska televisionen. Detta hände 1966 och bandet leddes av Oliver Nelson, som syns i slutet.
Åke Persson var vi mycket stolta över. Han spelade bl.a i Clarke - Boland bandet vid den här tiden och hade lämnat Sverige med Quincy Jones några år tidigare för att ingå i dennes kortlivade band på kontinenten. Hursomhelst, Åke blev kvar i Europa och arbetade i västtyska radioorkestern.

Richard Dworsky Gary Raynor Inga Swearingen

I föregående inlägg för oktober kan i spelaren vid 39.16 min. höras "A Time For Love" och vid 93.40 min. "Where Flamingos Fly" i direktupptagning från radiostudion. På munspel medverkar
Howard Levy.

A Time For Love

A time for summer skies
For hummingbirds and butterflies
For tender words that harmonize with love

A time for climbing hills
For leaning out of windowsills
Admiring the daffodils above

A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow colored weather
A time for make believe that we have been dreaming of

As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But oh my friend whatever sky is above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love

Admiring the daffodils above

The Saddest Noise - Inga Swearingen

En dikt av Emily Dickinson till musik av Richard Dworsky. Inga Swearingen sjunger med Richard Dworsky vid pianot och troligtvis Gary Raynor på stråkbas. Musiken börjar vid 23.44 min. Starta spelaren vid startknapp till vänster och "spola" med den lilla kontrollen genom att klicka med pilen på ett ungefärligt avstånd. Justera sedan tills rätt tid är funnen. Från 2007.

The saddest noise, the sweetest noise,
The maddest noise that grows, --
The birds, they make it in the spring,
At night's delicious close.

Between the March and April line --
That magical frontier
Beyond which summer hesitates,
Almost too heavenly near.

It makes us think of all the dead
That sauntered with us here,
By separation's sorcery
Made cruelly more dear.

It makes us think of what we had,
And what we now deplore.
We almost wish those siren throats
Would go and sing no more.

An ear can break a human heart
As quickly as a spear,
We wish the ear had not a heart
So dangerously near.

Inga Swearingen - igen.

Inga Swearingen - The Crazy Cries Of Love - Joni Mitchell

Här sjunger min favoritsångerska (en bland flera), Inga Swearingen, till Gary Raynor på bas och eget gitarrkomp en låt av Joni Mitchell. Tycker denna sång och dess text innehåller en skön berättelse, som också Inga Swearingen förmedlar så fint.
Starta den medföljande lilla spelaren och flytta tidskontrollen till klockan c:a 80.45 så kommer sången att spelas upp.

The Crazy Cries Of Love

It was a dark and a stormy night
Everyone was at the wing-ding
They weren't the wing-ding type
So they climbed up to the train bridge
Where the weather was howling
And oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear
Love's cries

They were laughing, they were dancing in the rain
They knew their love was a strong one
When they heard the far off whistle of a train
They were hoping it was going to be a long one
Cuz oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear
Love's cries

In the back booth of an all night cafe
Two dripping raincoats are hanging
Outside in the weather
The shade on the streetlight is clanging
But they're smilin' ear to ear and eye to eye
Ice cream is melting on some rhubarb pie
Oh, my my
No one else can hear
Love's cries

Every kiss was sweet and strong
Every touch was totally tandem
There's a train come a-rumbling along
They sang a lover's song of wild abandon
And oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear
Love's cries
No paper thin walls, no folks above to hear..
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear
Love's cries

Mose Allison - Gettin' There

People ask me questions 'bout the way I spend my life
Thirty years in showbiz only had one wife
Limousines and swimming-pools I didn't get my share
But I'm not downhearted
I am not downhearted
I'm not downhearted but I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there

Did you ever get the feelin' you've been taken for a ride
The big ones eat the little ones and there's no place left to hide
Just don't drink the water try not to breathe the air
But I'm not discouraged
I am not discouraged
I'm not discouraged but I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there

No matter how I'm feeling I still propose a toast
If you're almost successful you're better off than most
If I was sellin' fantasy I'd be a millionaire
But I'm not disillusioned
I am not disillusioned
I'm not disillusioned but I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there

Bonnie Raitt - Something To Talk About

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

People are talkin', talkin' about people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
(Ah ha)
They think we're lovers kept under covers
(Ooh hoo)
I just ignore it, they keep sayin'..We

Laugh just a little too loud
(A little too loud)
Stand just a little too close
(Too close)
Stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seein', somethin' we don't darlin'

//:Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)://
How about a little somethin' to talk about
How about love love
(Love love love love)

I feel so foolish, I've never noticed that
(Ah ha)
You're actin' so nervous like you'll be fallin' baby
(Ah ha)
It took a rumor to make me wonder
(Ooh hoo)
Now I'm convinced I'm goin' under

Thinkin' 'bout you everyday
(Everyday)
Dreamin' 'bout you every night
(Every night)
Hopin' that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really show it baby
(Darlin')

When you come there'll be somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
A little mystery to figure out
(Somethin' to talk about)
I wanna somethin' to talk about
I want your love
(Love love love love)

Give 'em somethin' to talk about, babe
I've got a little somethin' they can figure out?
Let's give them somethin' to talk about
How about love?
(Love love love love)

Ooh hoo listen I'll tell you it
(Somethin' to talk about)
Hey a mystery won't hurt
(Somethin' to talk about)
I wanna somethin' to talk about
I want your love (Love love love love)

(Somethin' to talk about)
(Somethin' to talk about)
(Love love love love)

Carla Bley Very Big Band - Who Will Rescue You?

Gary Valente trombon och Wolfgang Puschnig altsax. Carla Bley piano och dotter Karen Mantler orgel.

Fireworks . Absolutely Positively - Tom Baker trombon, vocal

Detta fina band från Australien hörde jag några lyckliga stunder på Askersunds Tradjazzfestival. Jag beundrade multiinstrumentalisten Tom Baker mycket. Han spelade allt, klarinett, kornett, alla saxar och tuba. Trombonen skulle enligt egen utsago bli huvudinstrumentet framöver. Tragiskt nog gick han bort för några år sedan i en hjärtsjukdom.

Alison Krauss - Restless

Honey, I know you've been alone some,
Why don't you 'phone some, 'cause I love you.
An' honey, I know I've been away some,
I've had to pay some and you have too.

But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led down town.
An' I can't help it if I'm out of sight,
'Cause I'm restless tonight.

I just can't stand bein' alone.
Gonna have to change that some day.
There's a restless feelin' in my bones an' I know,
That at times, it just won't go away.

So if it's all the same, honey, I can't take the blame, baby,
I can't play your game, honey, what's true is true.
And if, in the end, the temptation wears you thin, honey,
I'll, I'll just pretend and I'll leave it up to you.

But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led down town.
Can't help it if I'm full of fight.
But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led down town.
An' I can't help it if I'm out of sight,
'Cause I'm restless tonight.

Inga Swearingen - Where Flamingos Fly

Inga Swearingen blev en ny bekantskap för mig. Jag sökte Where Flamingos Fly och fann en sångerska. Jag är inte besviken.

Walk the waterfront
Hear the seagulls cry
Watch that boat take my baby far away
Where flamingos fly

Said he'd send for me
If he don't I'll die
Thousand miles from my baby far away
Where flamingos fly

You broke the law
They told him
Got to have passport to stay
You're shippin' back to the island
On a freighter that's leavin' to-day

Now my baby's gone
Hear the water sigh
Watch that boat take my baby far away
Where flamingos fly

Bonnie Raitt - I can't make you love me

Med Bruce Hornsby piano.



Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me

CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
You won't, no you won't
I can't make you love me, if you don't


I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
You won't,
I can't make you love me, if you don't

Alison Krauss Union Station - Let Me Touch You For Awhile

It's been a long time coming,
As you shed a lonesome tear.
And now you're in a wonderama,
I wonder what you're doin' here.

The flame no longer flickers,
You're feeling just like a fool.
You keep starin' into your liquor,
Wonderin' what to do.

I don't hardly know you,
But I'd be willin' to show you,
I know a way to make you smile!
Let me touch you for awhile.

I'm gonna ruin my black mascara.
You're drinkin whiskey when it should be wine.
You keep a-lookin' into that mirror.
But to me you're lookin' really fine.

I don't hardly know you,
But I'd be willin' to show you,
I know a way to make you,
Laugh at that cowgirl as she's walkin' out your door.
I know a way to make you smile.

Just let me whisper things,
You've never heard before.
Just let me touch you, baby.
Just let me touch you for awhile.

I don't hardly know you,
But I'd be willin' to show you,
I know a way to make you smile.

It's been a long time,
Let me touch you for awhile

Alison Krauss - Forget About It

Forget about it
I'm admittin' I was wrong
And I'll just take what's mine
And walk on right out the door
Forget about it
I'll split and I'll be gone
And you'll have memories
You'll find hard to ignore
'Cause after all
I see you sometime
Maybe when I will recall
How you drove me crazier
Forget about it
When forever's over
I won't remember how much
I loved you anymore
Forget about it
Put me out of your head
Now that you're free and easy
Out there on the town
Forget about it
When you're lying in bed just wishing
I was there to lay you down

'Cause after all
I see you sometime maybe
When you will recall
How I drove you crazier
Forget about those starlit nights
Laying by the fireside
Holding you tight
I can't remember when I felt so right
So just forget about it

Forget about it
When you see me on the street
Don't wink, don't wave
Don't try to tease me with your smile
Forget about it
If we chance to meet somewhere
Don't think it's cause I'm trying to reconcile

'Cause after all
I see you sometime maybe
When I will recall
How you drove me crazier
Forget about those starlit nights
Laying by the fireside
Holding you tight
I can't remember when I felt so right
So just forget about it

Melody Gardot - My one and only thrill

Birds may cease to spread their wings
But it don't matter, but it don't matter
Winters may envelop spring
But it don't matter, but it don't matter

'Cause when I'm with you
My whole world stands still
You're my one and only thrill

Ships may never leave the dock
But it don't matter, but it don't matter
Ticks may never hear a tock
But it don't matter, but it don't matter

'Cause when I'm with you
My whole world stands still
You're my one and only thrill

Shores may never reach the tide
But it don't matter, but it don't matter
Buds may never open wide
But it don't matter, but it don't matter

'Cause when I'm with you
My whole world stands still
You're my one and only thrill

You're my, you're my
You're my one and only thrill

Alison Krauss and Union Station Goodbye is All We Have

I'm soaring the sky
I can hear the birds and man they don't lie
How you gonna catch me, when I'm this high

I'm moving on
I got the words to a brand new song
How you gonna catch me, when I'm this gone
[Chorus:]
Gone tomorrow here today
Just in case you got somethin' to say
I'll be leaving with the rest if
Goodbye is all we have

I disconnected the phone
Told the neighbors I'll be heading on
As soon as the light hits the morn

I'm heading north
Gonna see what this heart's really worth
I guess it's time to be on my own

[Chorus]

I sure would love to see you tonight
Maybe try to end this fight
If I don't hear you knockin' on my door
Then I'll know for sure

[Chorus]

Alison Krauss and Union Station - Every Time You Say Goodbye

Look at the sky baby
What do you see?
Looks like the tears that I cry
Fallin' down like rain on the ground
Every time you say goodbye

Take a look around now
Why don't you feel
The way that cold wind stings and bites
And your words just are like arrows through my heart
Every time you say goodbye

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

Look at the sky baby, see how it cries?
Ain't it just like my tears
Fallin' down like rain on the ground
Every time you say goodbye

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

Alison Krauss - Stay

Where have you been,
My long lost friend?
It's good to see you again.
Come and sit for a while
I've missed your smile
Today the past is goodbye.
Time can't erase
A lover's embrace.
Can't you hear it calling?
A new day dawning
You were longing to find.

Love's taken you far
Away from my arms
And I've been here all alone.
Have your eyes failed to find
What took you from mine,
A vision that's faded through time?
But you sailed away,
A fine summer's day,
Cause you heard it calling,
A new day dawning,
You were longing to find.

There is a way to make you stay.
Darlin don't turn away
Don't doubt your heart
and keep us apart
I'm right where you are
Stay

There is a way to make you stay.
Darlin don't turn away.
Don't doubt your heart
and keep us apart
I'm right where you are
Stay.

Gary Burton Quartet - General Mojo's Well Laid Plan

Denna inspelning såg och hörde jag första gången i en TV på Orrholmen. Det måste ha varit 1968. På så vis kom jag in på ett nytt spår.
