I like to switch things around. so here is something very different from yesterday’s share. Different setting, different musical style, different mood – and a soloist that some might find surprising.
Jazz
Time for Some More Comedy
Quite often have something ‘lighter’ for the weekend – here it is.
A Jazz Great
I’ve mentioned before about the fact that my time in Vienna included many (and varied) musical experiences. With many concert halls, opera venues, theatres which often had musicals and – during the summer – many outdoor venues it was rare to have a day with no choice as to what to attend.
A Legend
We continue the percussion season – after yesterday’s “precision” today we have something VERY different – but equally impressive in its own way.
Simple Penguins
Something a wee bit different for this week’s “mood” music…. This is a complete BBC TV show from 1989. Almost all of the music falls into the “relaxing” and “soothing” categories – and perhaps the final piece will put a little smile on your face and get your foot tapping…. There is some talking during the programme – but rest assured that those moments are brief.
Father and Daughter
Wynton Marsalis has featured a few times in my choices and here he is again with a winter ‘classic’ – performed by his quintet and featuring his daughter on vocals.
A Trumpeter Using His Voice
Just one instrument in today’s performance – well, I guess two since Wynton Marsalis also uses his voice to speak before playing his trumpet. Recorded just about a month ago I thought this was well worth sharing.
Serenade for Lockdown
For the first night of lockdown part 2 I think something gentle is appropriate 😊
Some Soft Jazz
Still no winner formally declared in the US presidential election, so perhaps we need some more chillin’ music 😉
A Strangely Compelling Crossover
There is a wealth of Medieval and Renaissance music within the sacred music archives and today I link to an example of that from Spain.
