LAL Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 A song list here. I don't recall these being played by jazz musicians but like 'em very much: - Blues In The Night - Ac-cent-tchu-ate The Positive Plus the others listed above and more. Quote
Lazaro Vega Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Posted February 16, 2005 (edited) New version of "Accentuate" by Al Jarreau..."Blues in the Night" by Woody Herman, Mel Torme with Buddy Rich and perhaps best of all by Hot Lips Page with Artie Shaw....For "Get Happy" there's Coleman Hawkins from "Bean Bags" or the Red Norvo's Fabulous Jam Session with Bird and Diz...perhaps....Love Ray Charles singing "Come Rain for Come Shine." Trane doing "My Shining Hour." .....Harold Arlen said his favorite was "Last Night When We Were Young"...heard that on the radio today....Tony Bennet with Stan Getz do justice to "Out of This World," though the mac daddy "Out of This World" belongs to Coltrane....

Jazzmoose Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 My fave is still Lee Morgan's Ill Wind; absolutely beautiful! Quote

I don't recall these being played by jazz musicians but like 'em very much: ... - Ac-cent-tchu-ate The Positive I KNOW you have a version by a jazz orchestra... Artie Shaw's "modern" band of 1944-45 (featuring Roy Eldridge, Dodo Marmarosa & Barney Kessel among others) did a version, vocal by Imogene Lynn I believe. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 ...how does the bridge go? Slowly. Damned musicians.... Quote
ghost of miles Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Has anybody seen the new Concord Arlen compilation? From the looks of it, they're beginning to raid the Fantasy vaults... Of course Fantasy put out comps like this (THE JAZZ GIANTS PLAY HOAGY CARMICHAEL, etc.), but I'm still concerned that CDs like this will form the bulk of Concord's output from their Fantasy-owned material.

I don't recall these being played by jazz musicians but like 'em very much: - Blues In The Night - Ac-cent-tchu-ate The Positive Plus the others listed above and more. Well Ella did the Harold Arlen Songbook and I consider her a jazz musician - and both of these tunes are on it. I love her renditions on that recording. I love Harold Arlen's music too. Quote
Joe Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 I am by no means a huge Andre Previn fan, but I do think this is the finest record he ever made: Quote

Chrome Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Richard Williams plays a fantastic rendition of "Rainbow" on his "New Horn in Town" CD ... Quote
Dave James Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 I'm guessing at least one good tune for every year of his life. What a talent! Up over and out. Quote
Lazaro Vega Posted February 17, 2005 Author Report Posted February 17, 2005 A band is playing at the lavish wedding reception for a Mafia member's daughter. A tough looking guy walks up to the band leader and says, "My cousin Angelo wants that you should play 'Come Rain or Come Shine'.....and if I was you, I'd play both." Quote

gslade Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 My fave is still Lee Morgan's Ill Wind; absolutely beautiful! Thad Jones does a nice version of this one on the mosaic set Quote
AllenLowe Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 If you haven't heard it already, Stormy Weather by Eric Dolphy with Mingus is the not just the greatest performance of an Arlen tune, but THE GREATEST JAZ PERFORMANCE EVER. I really mean this, as emotionally disturbed as I seem when I put everything in caps. WHAT's IT TO YA? Listen to Stormy Weather, a perfect performance, from Mingus's incredible intro to Dolphy's yearning screams - Quote
