You know this song of Jacques Brel? Don't leave me One has to forget All can be forgotton which already flees Forget the time Of misunderstandings And the lost times To know how To forget those hours Which would occasionally kill By blows of why The heart full of joy Don't leave me Don't leave me Don't leave me Don't leave me... Returning back to Aznavour... check this one @Richard And a last one that I discovered today, another great Aznavour song (Me voilà seul --> Here I am, alone).

Bespin 8,481 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Maybe 3/4 of the material of this playlist is not available outsite Canada (please tell me)... but here's a good selection of Jukebox's hits from the 50s in Québec. French and Québec crooners. I really love this « 50's » sound... seems to relate to a more civilized time.... a slower time, when people took the time to live... and wrote beautiful songs.

Bespin 8,481 Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 That was our National holiday in Québec yesterday. This year we celebrate the 375th anniversary of the foundation of Montréal by Sieur Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve and Jeanne Mance. Here is is perhaps, the most beautiful québécois song. When men Will Live for Love When men will live for love There will be no more misery And the beautiful days will start But we, we will be dead my brother When men will live for love This will bring peace to the world The soldiers will be troubadours But we, we will be dead my brother In the great chain of life Where we had to go Where we had to be We got the worst part When men will live for love There will be no more misery And the beautiful days will start But we, we will be dead my brother But when men will live for love Then there will be no more misery Maybe they will think one day Of we who will be dead, my brother We who will have bad days In hatred and in war To search for the peace, to search for the love, That they will know my brother In the great chain of life So that there can be better times Some losses are necessary The wisdom here that's the price When men will live for love There will be no more misery And the beautiful days will start But we, we will be dead my brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a few songs by Fame, never heard of Dennerlein. For a few years now I've been getting really into the soul jazz tradition of America in the 60s to early 70s. No disrespect to those European artists, but the tinge of African-American church music tradition that seeps into soul jazz performances (in addition to the influences of bebop, blues, and funk) make it irresistible to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Been a jazz kinda morning.

Omen II 1,235 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 On Thursday I went to a fantastic Proms concert devoted to the music of Charles Mingus featuring the Metropole Orkest conducted by Jules Buckley. I was very unfamiliar with Mingus apart from his well known Moanin', but left the Royal Albert Hall a definite convert. I had bought tickets largely on the strength of the same orchestra's superb Quincy Jones tribute last year. There were five excellent soloists (quite apart from those in the orchestra): Shabaka Hutchings on bass clarinet, Christian Scott on trumpet, trombonist Bart van Lier, singer Kandace Springs and the incredible Leo Pellegrino on baritone saxophone. If you are unfamiliar with Leo P, check out this performance of Charles Mingus's Moanin' with a very special introduction... Luckily the concert was also broadcast on TV on Friday, so those with access to BBC iPlayer can watch the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like Gershwin's music (who doesn't?) you might enjoy this performance of the Overture for the 1945 Gershwin biopic Rhapsody In Blue, arranged by the legendary Ray Heindorf for the film and featuring many of Gershwin's most popular tunes.

I just watched this whole thing and it's very well-done! For me, the gold standard of re-arranging Gershwin is Nelson Riddle's work for Ella Fitzgerald's "Gershwin Song Book" project. They may be irrevocably tied to the 50s big band sound, but there are so many unexpected and wonderful details he adds. So many of his arrangements for that are the "default" way the song is supposed to sound in my head. But of course we can't forget Alexander Courage's classic arrangement of Porgy & Bess for our Johnny and the BPO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dislike the "big stuff" (namely Rhapsody in Blue, Overture in F, etc.), because I get this really strong try-hard vibe (which I also hear in a lot of so-called third stream music), but with things like what you posted, I hear a much more natural voice that probably accomplishes Gershwin's goals much more strongly. One of my favorites, a huge influence on me: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Tracks 3 - 9 are something truly special for people like me, who are interested in orchestral jazz. "The Charlie Brown Suite" is the great Vince Guaraldi Trio performing with a small orchestral ensemble of strings, winds, horns, and some percussion. Hearing these venerable cool jazz classics adapted for such an ensemble is an emotional, gorgeous listening experience. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 After six decades in the vault, hear 'Ella at Zardi's,' a recording that captures Ella Fitzgerald at a pivotal moment in her career. I will be buying this. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
