HutchFan Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Seems like I've been playing this CD at least once a day for the last few weeks. Music as comfortable as an old pair of slippers, a home-cooked meal, and a snifter of your favorite whiskey.   1 hour ago, soulpope said: Hooray for Mal Waldron!   Edited February 19, 2019 by HutchFan Quote
HutchFan Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) David "Fathead" Newman - It's Mister Fathead (Atlantic/32 Jazz) Now listening to the music originally released as Straight Ahead. Gotta say that Wynton Kelly sounds SO DAMN GOOD -- and that he makes everyone else sound great too.  Edited February 19, 2019 by HutchFan Quote

duaneiac Posted February 20, 2019 Report Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) The wonders of the human voice. Harry Belafonte had such an amazing voice, but he was also a fine lyric interpreter. Perhaps that is because his first goal was to be an actor. He really gave his all to a song, whether it be a hearty folk song or a loving ballad. He does a version of "Unchained Melody" here accompanied only by guitar that is simply stunning in its warmth and simplicity. Kudos to Mr. Belafonte for singing "songs she brought to me" in Neil Diamond's "Play Me". (I'm sorry Mr. Diamond, but there will have to be a 5 point penalty levied against that song for illegal use of the word "brang".) Disc 1 of 2. I can't even begin to imagine how special it must have been to have heard Billie Holiday performing in some small club. The Red Norvo All-Stars get a good deal of instrumental space on this disc, but Ms. Holiday has several wonderful moments of her own. Here's a funny tidbit for you youngsters out there: There was a time -- long, long ago -- when if a Rod Stewart song came on the radio, you would actually turn the volume up! I know, go figure, right?
