Fetch error

Hmmm there seems to be a problem fetching this series right now. Last successful fetch was on April 22, 2024 15:12 (3d ago)

What now? This series will be checked again in the next day. If you believe it should be working, please verify the publisher's feed link below is valid and includes actual episode links. You can contact support to request the feed be immediately fetched.

Why the waffling between five or six songs? Well, it has to do with a new song that was created out of a saxophone solo used in I’m In The Mood for Love. Is Moody Mood For Love a new tune or a variation of an old one?

And those interpretations of I’m In The Mood For Love led to a whole new jazz vocal style called jazz vocalese. It also takes a detour into the old Our Gang (aka The Little Rascals) short films from the 30’s that I saw many years later on television.

On this week’s program you’ll also hear interesting renditions of (and stories about) two Duke Ellington tunes (It Don’t Mean a Thing if It Ain’t Got That Swing and I Let A Song Go Out of My Heart). The last two tunes I feature are One O’Clock Jump (including a bebop version), and Body and Soul)

One last comment: re. that version of Moody Mood for Love by King Pleasure that I play. There’s a female vocalist who comes in. Who is it? Apparently it’s Blossom Dearie. I just found that out. I should also mention (since I forgot to point it out on the podcast) that those lyrics were written by Eddie Jefferson.
