Martial Solal Mon Homme Eric Le lann

Better known for coruscating piano outings
amid uncompromising linear big band offerings At 91 Martial Solal doyen of on its toes cerebral French Jazz . This 1990s session featuring nimble brass soloist Eric Le lann places Solal in secondary role as orchestrator eschewing diaphanous string writing for moodily overcast if not overly demanding charts sampling an errant French horn on Mon Homme ~a 1920s classic straying commodiously from its 1921 Ziegfeld Follies original
Only a few months on U Tube yet This video seems to have run its course . All together AAAH Sad isnt it? I refer you to another but perhaps I shouldnt Ifcopod Hey Rubuda by Clark Terry preferred even to this eloquent Martial Solal Mon Homme. Hey Rubuda didnt do the business . wilting on the vine no less. Oh the shame. Its . awkward sounds may have seemed uppity ~ just sonic moulderings appealing to a minority (ifcopod for one) . .
Why the special accord for Hey Rubuda
In rock music Suggs and his merry men tag themselves Madness a sonic madness? Suggs and Co a fun filled clangourous aggregation for the young? No kindly listener for everyone On Hey Rubuda Clark Terry upped ante with a conjunction caterwauling for older attendees amidst wild thumping sounds But the bit I like is the humour is that what you call it?~ Clark Terry scatting like mad thing Hilarity all the way. Such are the differing takes on humour you say eether I say eyeder.
Frank Sinatra greatest popular 20 century balladeer No? take a listen to Ill Wind ( Album Wee Small Hours album)or Whats New boasting two competing trombones anything from 1959 classic Only the Lonely album.~ Nobody does it better than Sinatra on ballads but others sprint better.not just speed Maniac great Flashdance rock song Liked that song so much I doubled the guitar solo.
Theres a deluge of Sammy's My Shining Hour on UTube but I like the comment. "Sucks " A Bob Dylan adherent perhaps ? understandable Sammys music director in the 1950s and 60s was Sukno Stevens Posted five days ago Ifcopod has viewed it numerous times. I played some hard jazz bands to an audience judging from the restive response can only assume the music went t straight over their heads When music goes fast theres always the risk of fallout. i
On the other hand Judging from the U Tube presence Happy Days for Sammy brigade or maybe some just love big bands in belting . mode.
If you asked me to ~ If you asked me to what ? To relish the rich variety of James Bond songs an indispensable part of Bondlore but a franchise needing a quiet holiday on a remote desert Island as the spirit of the Bond enterprise gets a reboot. or faces interminable artistic decline.Cognisant of the great melodist ABBAs Benny looking on reprovingly? lets nonetheless continue our tip toe through Bond songs among the best of todays popular culture.
Celine Dion recorded If You asked me to very good version a key voice wojously successful artiste ~Of course a matter of opinion and Celine Dion is~ well Celine Dion but might I offer this minority report then scarper ~ Patti La Belle of lady Marmalade gets more from the Bond classic different granted Celine clearer upright tones as befits a democratic Canadian but Patti taps a layered subtle palette. Lets not have a ding dong over the interpretation all evidence just how good the Bond songs are.
.A time when Bond songs were so good two were simultaneously featured. I'd like to ascertain for definite who minted the MUSIC theme License to Kill. Some say its just a reshaping of an earlier Bond song but I Think one of the best.
If You asked me to ?To what?To think for once in logical sequential manner NOT desultorily falling prey to every random thought swishing through the universe popping into Ifcopod cranium Certainly Paddy Paralogism anything else? Yes this ~Someone brandished big stick making point ~Ifcopod's scattershot approach.~ as apology an appeasement perhaps? yes a quote from the greatest of all Shakespeare ~ an acerbic one from King Lear ~Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile. Does the name Trump ring a bell?
a photo of Audrey Hepburn ~ not Breakfast at Tiffanys unless you want a shout out for Moon River ~ great Henry Mancini movie song. Instead 1963 Charade a mere margin below Bond. and a winning Mancini theme song on board . Which Columbo episode featured the Charade theme given a vocal interpretation ~ episode featuring your favourite Columbo bad boy late Leering Jack" the Great Santini " Cassidy . Only Hitchcocks North by Northwest . beats Charade due in no short measure to the panoramic scenery but Charade a perennial favourite
