Non-English speaking vocalists singing in English (especially Brazilians). Sing in your own language. I like the mystery of being clueless about what you are saying.
Even if they're making fun of all the stiff upper lips in the audience?
Why spring if you've already got it?
I got that one, too - and it's indeed quite alright. But it's nowhere close to "The Spice of Life" which I absolutely love! Is that first Cadet album similarly fine? The tracklist makes it look like it might be a mixed bag ...
There's a Miles, too ... and a great one by Doris Day And Johnny Cash (another well-picked one, it has his few first Columbia albums in their entirety, I think).
Thanks a lot for posting those pieces, Larry! And thanks everyone for the most enlightening discussion here - I've tried to voice my problems with Wynton, but never as successfully as is being done here.
