seeline Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) I have indeed - Joe Carroll's version with Grant Green and Conrad Lester on Charlie Parker records. I think it may be how you hear it. I can see what you mean, but I've always thought of the song in terms of 1001 Arabian Nights. And welcome Seeline! MG Hi, MG, and many thanks for the welcome! I don't know this version - the one I've got is by Benny Goodman, with a chart by (I think) Mary Lou Williams... if not her, then someone else who was writing in a "post-swing" style for sure. (A lot of her arrangements are on the recording - Undercurrent Blues, i think, on Blue Note? Most of my jazz collection is in storage right now, so I can't check.) Not sure offhand who did the vocals, either - argh! (My aging memory... ) ** Re. Ugetsu, I think it could be a reference to this movie (which I haven't seen for a long time) - (Criterion DVD release here...) Cheers!

BillF Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) I believe that "ugetsu" is more or less a Japanese translation of "soul". Also means "spirit" or "ghost". Edited January 19, 2008 by BillF Quote

seeline Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) You get Sue and I'll get Sarah Let's call the whole thing off MG MG - BillF is definitely right about "ugetsu" not being a person's name, also about its connection to the supernatural. Edited January 19, 2008 by seeline Quote
