Today was a productive day in terms of music.
Here are two personal performances of jazz standards : Shiny Stockings, written by Frank Foster in 1963, and On a clear day by Burton Lane in 1970.
With the incredible voice of Maëlle Bonnet.
Wayne’s Thang is a theme written by the saxophonist Kenny Garrett. It makes part of the album Triology, edited in 1995.
Here’s one cover in sextet I like, recorded in the Jazz Channel LA studio in 2016.
This is one of my favorite rendition of Bye Bye Blackbird.
With Chet Baker indeed, but especially with Rene Urtreger at the piano for me.
And for heaven sake, watching them in b&w smoking and driking, it makes my day (well, if you put aside the fact that some of them were alcoholic or drug addicts though 😀).
