" Naima ", a heavenly song sung by an Angel. Coltrane would be proud...a must listen, thank you !!! ⚘️💯✌️
I just heard of her...on Real Jazz just now 1:40pm the day before Thanksgiving day..how about that...I like the tune and her voice...and she has been recording since 87?wait a minute why are these great musicians recording in obscurity?
Beautiful place!
Nicely done - glad I happened across this one!
Always good to listen to Leonora,she's got what it takes.Great musician,ever green.
So Good!!!! Thx ❤
Thank you so dearly for blessing us with your talent!! My students truly love your arrangement of this amazing Stevie Wonder song. You have captivated and inspired them!!!
Es un gran trabajo el que realizan los educadores de jazz!!!
Super !!!!🤗🤗👍👍👍👍👍
Fire! Go NCCU... love from the West Coast !
I love it!! Beautiful!!! <3
Great arrangement, wonderful ensemble, lots of space to feature soloists. Masterpiece of voice leading. Great balance in the production. Congrats everyone!
This was quite enjoyable.
Beautiful! More please!!
Sounds great!
Loved it. Great job everyone.
Thanks so much Marian!
LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! These are my cats, right here! Congrats, Lenora and VJE on a fantastic performance and production all around!
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it Kerry, we LOVE your work!!
love it
The writers are Harry 'Sweets' Edison & Jon Hendricks
I was introduced to your music by a friend and felt in love with Spirit child, track; 'take me higher '
Ya
Which key is it?
From what I could figure out with my guitar this is in "F". Should follow a standard Jazz Blues Progression - if I am not mistaking: | F13 | Bb7 | F13 | C-7 F7#5 | | Bb7 | Bdim7 | F13 | A-7 D7#5 | | G-9 | C7#9 | F13 D7#9 | G-7 C7#9 | This is an outstanding performance !!!
Wonderful! Thank you so much! Great ending. I always feel the endings are so important because that is the last thing folks hear.
Thank you!
I agree completely with you about having women in the band. I´m a guy but have played with women since i began and I´m 75 now. And the women bring another vibe which makes the music complete. Don´t forget Louis Armstrong and Lil Hardin. Vi Redd, Dorothy Donegan, Hazel Scott, Melba Liston...........I can go on and on!
Thanks for listening and for your poignant comments. Yes, Lil Hardin was not given her just due! Thanks @bobblues1158
Total Grandeur!
I am so happy to discover you. And I am glad that your band is women, men, both young and old! Continued success and Bright Moments!
Sounds good!
Thanks for this presentation. It was very clear and concise!
Very, very nice. Jay Leonhart
Thank you very much Jay!
Yes, yes, and yes!!
Didn't Harry Sweets Edison write the music? How about credit for Sweets please. Otherwise, great great, and great performance.
I did credit Sweets - see the Description. Thanks for the kind words too!
@@LenoraHelmOfficial Do you perform at any jazz clubs, etc. I want to be one of your groupies.
This is awesome. "Centrepiece" is the first jazz song I ever sang. I haven't heard a vocal version is literally years. Thanks for posting.
I count every beat, and they strictly play exactly twelve chords each round in a very relaxing way like there's rythm. Wow, amazing performance
Love this tune - great job with Mingus' music and lyrics!
What a stunning singer beautiful voice very charming vocalizing.
pos yo estoy aqui por un trabajo de musica✌🏻
İ can’t find original version of this song :( but it’s good :)
NEVER get tired of that sound. You hear that and you just got to move, move, move. Your body takes over and moves.
fantastic singer and band
hermoso todo!!
Outstanding as usual, Dear friend!
Awesome! A lot of important elements I never noticed in jazz.
in what key is it? :)
+Alise Cimbaļuka Hey Alise! Its an "F" blues; Blues in the key of F. Thanks for asking!
Thank you Lenora for showing the background discussion about the song. Great for students!!
+Cathy Elliott Garcia Thanks Cathy, for listening. Much appreciated!!
Nice stuff.
Lenora thank you so much! I am a jazz singer in the Seattle area and teach vocal Ensemble for 5-8th grades. Introducing them to jazz and using your youtube clip to demonstrate jazz blues! Centerpiece is a tune I often use with students for a major blues and your video is such a great help. You are helping us pass on the tradition to the kids! Bless you...
Thanks Jenny Davis! :-) That's helpful to know a fellow vocal jazz teacher is using our video. I'll tell the cats about your post! Good luck with your students. I love Centerpiece too. Such a fun tune.
great jazz :)
Thank you so much!! About to take my praxis for music content and this was a good review!!
Absolutely loved it...Thank You...I am newly inspired
