If you’re a fan of the Weather Report tune posted in the “pet peeves” thread, and also enjoy complex vocal harmonies, check this version of the tune out.
The lyrics are probably a bit contrived, but who cares, as the vocals are superb. Check out the soprano as she perfectly scats the electric piano improve from the original recoding near the end of the tune.
I’d kill to be able to sing as well as these folks.
And if you’re a familiar with the early saxophone classic, Body and Soul by Coleman Hawkins, you’ll get a kick out of the near perfect vocal duplication by the same singers. (It’s also a tribute to Eddie Jefferson, who pioneered this style of vocal jazz.)
I am a decades long ManTran fan since “Boy From New York City” in like 1981 or so. I’ve sung professionally and chorally, and also played flute and some piano, so I can truly appreciate their genius in moving between various Jazz and Pop influences. Their Brazil album was totally unexpected. I wonder how they all are these days? the bald one was getting up there in years.
Goose is coming to Red Butte but it’s sold out.
I’ve probably posted this before, , but a GREAT old tune… and another in the long line of GREAT tunes recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
I was Just… I was Just… I was Just sittin’ there thinkin’… Oooooohhh …
Not much anywhere anytime is any better than this.
Was listening to the radio yesterday and a Billy Joel tune came on, but after it was over my mind kept going back to this one that wasn’t the tune that played.
This is beautiful. Three great ladies singing a song written by one of the great songwriters
I Hope everyone treasures the unique and priceless voices of Linda Ronstadt and Celine Dion. Both have been struck by medical conditions that prevent them from ever performing live again.
Scar Symmetry has come roaring back after a decade of inactivity with an absolute banger of an album. Been in constant rotation for my morning runs over the past few weeks.
I kept waiting for them to sing “I felt like getting high”
For obvious reasons, I love this song, and especially this rendition from the night Randy Newman was inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame. The lineup of icons who are playing for their buddy Randy is awesome. I never imagined John Fogerty doing this!
Sometimes I hate the South and the Country Musicians many people love. This is the town Thurgood Marshall was almost lynched:
I think he sounds like his jeans are squeezing his twig and berries too tight.
Def different than Colter Wall. Much better music:
My favorite Jeff Beck tune…
Great tune ! I love Lead Boots too
In honor of a legend RIP
