Peter Friedman Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 "Pleadin' For Love" is an Ellington tune that few people are likely to know. The only recording of this piece, other than this one by Dado Moroni, is the 1 minute and 47 second version by Ellington on the album - Piano In The Foreground. Here Dado gets to stretch out a bit to 4 minutes and 47 seconds. It is a tune that I find highly appealing, and Moroni plays it marvelously.

Both 'covers' naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both 'covers' naturally. IMO doesn`t get better than Bobby King + Terry Evans + Ry Cooder and their take on James Carr`s immortal "At The Dark End Of The Street" ..... Carr owns the song, but King/Evans/Cooder come very close ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just discovered this a few days ago -- a lied by Johannes Brahms, "Der Tod, das ist die kühle Nacht," performed by Margaret Price and James Lockhart. It's incredibly beautiful and melancholy music, like only Brahms can do it: Brahms set the music to a poem by Heinrich Heine. Der Tod das ist die kühle Nacht, Das Leben ist der schwüle Tag. Es dunkelt schon, mich schläfert, Der Tag hat mich müd gemacht. Über mein Bett erhebt sich ein Baum, Drin singt die junge Nachtigall; Sie singt von lauter Liebe, Ich hör es sogar im Traum. An English translation: Death is the cool night, Life is the humid day, It's getting dark, I'm sleepy, The day has made me tired. A tree rises over my bed, The young nightingale sings in it. It's singing of nothing but love, I hear it even in my dream. Edited September 16, 2016 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
