1 A Dose of Jazz
I really enjoy Melody Gardot’s voice. I found her video on “Jazz On The Tube.” Everyday a video is sent along with a short paragraph about a famous jazz artist. I’ve found it really interesting and a great way to learn about fellow jazz artists.
Just a reminder I’ll be at 13 Coins in SeaTac this Saturday night, 12/7, from 8:30p-12:30a, with the Paul Miranda Trio. For more information, please visit the calendar page on this site. I hope you can join us!
0 A Master of Phrasing
Anita O’Day’s “Sweet Georgia Brown” is a favorite of mine.
She was a master of phrasing. Without messing with the melody much, Anita took jazz standards and turned it into a rhythmic master piece. Like a dance, she slowed down and speed up her phrasing, weaving around the pulse of the song, yet always hit her marks with the band.
0 Jazz Up Your Feast
Back by popular demand, please enjoy Thanksgiving Jazz playlist on Spotify*, full of my favorites, for you to enjoy this weekend as background music during Thursday’s feast, decorating the tree, or while enjoying a quiet glass of mulled wine.
I’m deeply thankful for so much this year, especially each and every one of you. Your support means the world to me. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
*Signing up for Spotify is free and the best way to avoid ads and support musicians (Yes! Spotify sends me a check every now and then) is to upgrade to the $5 per month “Unlimited” option. To mute Spotify ads on a Mac download SpotiFree, a simple AppleScript, and for Windows download Blockify. Please use with care and at your own discretion.
