Well no embroidery talk today. I thought I'd talk about music, one of my passions.
Some new CDs I just picked up..
New Andy Bey, Ain't Necessarily So - Great song, great album. If you have not heard Andy he is a great vocalist and piano player. From Amazon's description Aretha Franklin reminisces about the nights when Andy and The Bey Sisters worked the Village in New York: "Soon as I finished my gig, I'd run over to hear them. Andy never got the recognition he deserved..."
I love it, very relaxed, emotional, very much the same man I heard live sing with Kurt Elling one night.
Next..
Billie Holiday - The Complete Verve Studio Master Takes [BOX SET] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED].
This is very good, 6 discs, the packaging could be better, but the music is perfect. Amazon has clips of every song online, so if you have not heard Billie, check it out. I highly recommend this set.
Sirius Jazz and blues is always playing in the car, and today we pulled out some old Manhatten Transfer and Michael Buble as Sue was needing something peppy. When they came in with My Cat Fell In The Well (Well! Well! Well!) and tossed out the line
I woke up this morning with a feeling of despair
I looked for my pussy but my pussy wasn't there
well lets just say there was some amusement in the office. I of course told them to get out of the gutter, and that they were looking for their cat who was obviously in the well<G>.
That's all for now, I'd love to hear of some good jazz or blues recommendations. Next time I'll talk about Coltrane maybe, A Love Supreme, something there to discuss for sure.
