duaneiac Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Enjoyable performances, with a set list that ranges from the "1812 Overture" to "Someone's Rocking My Dreamboat" (due to early childhood exposure, that is a song I will always hear sung in the voice of Bugs Bunny) to "Bohemian Rhapsody" and since this tour of Japan took place in Dec. of 2000, there are also a few Christmas carols which are a little odd to hear as we approach the 4th of July.

jazzbo Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Thana Alexa "Ode to Heroes" . . .. This is a very nice debut album by a beautiful singer. Her voice and vocal nimbleness reminds me of Monday Michiru. I learned of her through C.J.'s Facebook page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 1 hour ago, HutchFan said: I have the same ! Really a great collection. It´s interesting how Diz sounded on the earlier big band stuff and on the 1949 stuff he tried to reach a bigger audience I think, with more vocals and funny tunes like "Hey Pete, let´s eat more meat". And I think it was the first time, I heard that mistery "Metronome All Stars" . Until then I had seen only a picture of that all star summit.

On the same tour local jazz presenter Graham Brook is pitting him against Gilad Atzmon. That should be some gig, providing of course that that those out to stop Gilad's appearances don't get there first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
