by Bill Evans
I’m amazed by how few views this Gary Burton solo has on YouTube, given his incredible clarity, restraint, command, and beauty with one of Bill Evan’s more (if not most) challenging ballads. The vibe sound is, well, gorgeous!!
Hymne a L'amour - simply beautiful song sung and made famous by the great French vocalist Edith Piaf. The lyrics were written by Piaf and the music by Marguerite Monnot. It was written for the love of her life, the French boxer, Marcel Cerdan. On October 28, 1949, Cerdan was killed in a plane crash on his way from Paris to New York to come to see her. She recorded the song on May 2, 1950.
I'm using some reharm here and there as well as a modulation for the last A section of the song.
“In Your Quiet Place” by Keith Jarrett. One of my favorite songs from Keith. I remember working on it quite a bit during lessons way back with Gary. Of course, the recording of this song by Keith and Gary is a favorite as well as Gary’s solo renditions. Lately I’ve been listening to Keith’s version from a live concert recorded in 1975 in Munich. It is brilliant. I posted the audio clip on my page last week. I noticed some of the changes are a little different than the changes in the Real Book. I’m using here what Keith used from that Munich concert.
I think a lot of us old guys wish that we were young and foolish again.
"The Folks Who Live on the Hill" - a superb ballad with beautiful lyrics and a great melody. Written in 1937 with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and music by Jerome Kern. Keeping it pretty simple here with two choruses close to the melody. Enjoying playing the melody more in the upper register with this vibraphone.
Are you guys aware of the work Bobby Hutcherson did with Andrew Hill. I always put Andrew Hill in with Charles Mingus and Duke in his approach to harmony. It's way more modern than Duke though but I think there are a lot of musicians that descend from Duke in many ways.
Just thought I'd mention it here, if you don't know of the Andrew Hill CDs with Bobby Hutcherson, check them out.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
Hello Everyone!
I’m happy to announce that a project that I’ve been working on for years is finally a reality! I’ve recently launched the website: www.percussionandelectronics.com
PURPOSE
The website was created to facilitate the ability to discover and listen to music scores for percussion utilizing electronics as accompaniment. On the website you will find a large searchable database of works that aims to connect the percussionists with the composers and publishers. (Currently 240 pieces and growing)
