I Wish I Knew How It Would Fee - Nina Simone

"I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free" is a gospel/jazz song written by Billy Taylor and "Dick Dallas", best known for the recording by Nina Simone in 1967 on her Silk & Soul album. Billy Taylor's original version (as "I Wish I Knew") was recorded on...

(I Don't Know Why) But I Do - ClarenceFrogmanHenry

"(I Don't Know Why) But I Do" is an R&B song written by Paul Gayten and Bobby Charles (as Robert Guidry), and performed by Clarence "Frogman" Henry. It was Henry's biggest U.S. hit, reaching #4 in early 1961. The B-side on the single release was "Just My Baby and Me"...

White Silver Sands - Chet Atkins

Teensville is the title of a recording by American guitarist and producer Chet Atkins. The idea here was for Chet to release a record appealing to teens who were now interested in rock 'n roll. The original version of "Oh, Lonesome Me", a hit on both the pop and country charts for Don Gibson...

Rescue Me - Fontella Bass

"Rescue Me" is a rhythm and blues song first recorded and released as a single by Fontella Bass in 1965. The original versions of the record, and BMI, give the songwriting credit to Raynard Miner and Carl William Smith, although many other sources also credit Bass herself as a co-writer...

Lulu'S Back In Town - Fats Waller

Fats Waller - Lulu's Back in Town (1935)


Well look who's here
Lulu's back in town
My, my, my, yes, yes, yes

Gotta get my old tuxedo pressed
Gotta sew a button on my vest
'Cause tonight I've gotta look my best
Lulu's back in town

Gotta get a half a buck somewhere
Gotta shine my shoes and slick my hair
Gotta...

As Time Goes By - Erroll Garner

Eroll Garner - As Time Goes By

自電影《Casablanca》 以來,歌曲 As Time Goes By 一舉成名。眾百版本,差不多所有歌星都得翻唱一遍。

除了原版以外,發覺 Erroll Garner 的這首錄音是本人比較喜歡的版本。


My Heart - Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five - My Heart (1925/OKeh)

任何「路粉」都得知道他的 Hot Five 和 Hot Seven,路路與樂隊於20 - 30年代時錄下了傳統爵士的靈魂所在。

[回憶]

2012年平安夜,他已醉醺醺。播放著路路的 Hot Five,他突然留下了眼淚。說「聽,你聽這音樂。為甚麼這音樂是如此的純潔,世間上竟然有如此美麗的聲音。為甚麼可以這樣的真切,這音樂。」他邊哭邊說,手緊緊地握著CD盒。

他是她見過第一個被音樂的美感動至流淚的男人。

When You Walked Out (Someone Else Walked Right In) - Rosa Henderson

Rosa Henderson - When You Wawlked Out (Someone Else Walked Right In) (1923)

今兒被催更新音樂博客,筆者覺得其實已經夠積極的了啊。

來首20年代早期的女性藍調。20 - 30 年代,特別是20年代,很多女歌手所演唱的藍調都俱有故事性 (novelty)。歌詞裏面除了抱怨生活的艱苦以外 (例如在農場摘棉花的辛苦,鐵路上工作的艱辛等等當時黑奴所受到的壓迫),這些由女歌手演唱的藍調爵士裡也包括了對男人的種種抱怨。有些抱怨還真蠻隱私,例如抱怨夫妻之間的性生活,抱怨她們的男人如何不夠寵愛她們,抱怨...

You Gonna Quit Me Blues - Blind Blake

Blind Blake - You Gonna Quit Me Blues (1927)

這首歌背後有個故事。她和他都喜歡Blind Blake,他有很多歌都受Blake影響,她能聽出來,他感到非常驚訝。後來他們成為了好朋友,靈魂上互相依賴,但在現實中卻不能一起。互相都不能相信大家能在茫茫人海中相遇,所以不希望放棄可貴的緣分。但是夢與現實之間的區別往往是很大的。經過了幾年的掙扎後,誰也還是戒不了誰。他們之間的淵源已陷太深。迫不得已,她給他發了這首歌,以表達其無奈的痛苦。

在聽 The Rise & Fall of Paramount Records (1917 - 1927...

River Of Salt (1999 Digital Remaster) - Bryan Ferry

Bryan Ferry - River of Salt (1973)

雖然和Ketty Lester的版本 (1962) 不同,但是Bryan一開口,的確是魅力無法擋。編曲就不用說了,soulful。

Kevin Rowland 一直是 Bryan Ferry 和他的樂隊 ROXY Music,以及Van Morrison 的忠實粉絲。Dexys 在8/90年代一度也紅過,但卻達不到 Bryan Ferry 或 Van the Man 的那種境界... 這是一個一直圓不了的夢。然而,60多歲的老人家仍然在不斷地嘗試;精神的確可嘉。

認識你,我非常高...

錄了一段上週在卡迪夫 Cardiff Jazz Cafe的表演。

每週二都會有傳統爵士風格的樂隊在這演出,通常都是比較年長的樂人,但很多還是充滿了童心的。

請欣賞... 

Stack O' Lee Blues - Sol Hoopii

Sol Hoopii - Stack O' Lee Blues (1926)

Sol Hoopii (1920 - 1953) 是著名的夏威夷吉他手,以他的lab steel吉他最為出名。Lab steel吉他是一放在腿上,利用金屬銅管在吉他弦上滑彈的樂器。這種獨特的吉他聲在夏威夷音樂發展史中是非常重要的。後期很多流行音樂都嘗試重新製造這種顫抖,漂浮,夢幻的吉他聲。除了錄製音樂唱片以外,Sol 還曾經出現過在幾部好萊塢電影中,為電影原聲作貢獻。

我們現在聽到的這首 Stack O'Lee Blues, 其實也屬於藍調。我們可以叫它夏威夷藍調。但是它與我們平常在...

In Dreams - Roy Orbison

Roy Orbinson - In Dreams (1963)

如果你看過大衛林奇 (David Lynch) 的《藍絲絨》(Blue Velvet, 1986), 除了那一吸氧氣的老頭兒以外,你是否記得某角色陶醉在模仿唱這首歌的情景?這可能是電影史上最cult的鏡頭之一了吧。

當然,歌不是那演員唱的。後來我們知道,當時的歌是從錄音機中播放出來的。這首歌真正的演唱者是 Roy Orbison, 他的另外一首著名的歌曲便是眾所週知的「Pretty Women」。

Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone - Lester Young

Lester Young,  Roy Eldridge and Harry "Sweets" Edison, - Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone (1958)

Album: Laughin' To Keep From Cryin' (1958)

這首著名的jazz standard, 要找到對的節拍才有感覺。很多版本要麼太快了(儘管Louis的也是),要麼太慢了搖擺不起來 (如,Mills Brothers 的版本)。找了又找,發現了這個版本,節奏剛剛好,能接受,也不缺即...

Some of These Days -

Sophie Tucker - Some of These Days (1926)

如果你讀過一本書 《Nausea》, Satre 的主人公經常提起這首歌。

聽歌中的那黑管.... 

Sophie Tucker was born as Sophia Kalish on January 13, 1884 in Russia. When she was still an infant, her parents emigrated to the United States and settled near Hartford, Connecticut. In 1903, she...

Have I Told You Lately That I Love You - Elvis Presley

Elvis Precely - Have I Told You Lately That I Love You (1957)

Doo Wop's power..

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Could I tell you once again somehow?
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you?
Well darling I'm telling you now

Have I told you lately when I'm sleeping
Every dream I dream...

Chains of Love - B.B. King

B.B. King - Chains of Love (1962)

此歌首度出現在 B.B. King 的1962專輯 《Mr. Blues》中。B.B. King 有個挺有趣的地方,他不能一邊彈一邊唱...

2014年,峰迴路轉,一個類似 SMac 的人物出現了。得萬分小心,不能再次陷入溺谷。特此奉上 "Chains of Love", 以作警戒。

Love In Vain - Robert Johnson

Robert Johnson - Love in Vain (1937)

可能很多人都會比較熟悉 The Rolling Stones 的 "Love in Vain" 版本,當年專輯《Let it Bleed》(1969) 發行的時候,瘋魔全球。但又有多少人知道他們的靈感來源呢?其實 The Rolling Stones 受了很多早期二戰前美國黑人藍調音樂的影響,他們所做的貢獻,便是把這些早期的藍調流行化,改編成我們現在所知道的Rock (搖滾):把吉他電子化,加上爵士鼓和貝斯,同時也把節奏“浪漫化”。Robert Johnson...

Home of the Blues - Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash - Home of the Blues (1958)

Hi, I'm home. 差不多兩個多月在路上,終於回家了... 和大家分享 Johnny 的這首歌吧。


Down in Mexico - The Coasters

The Coasters - Down in Mexico (1957)

墨西哥沒進8強,頗為傷心。播首soul,緩衝一下心情。

I Will Follow Him - Little Peggy March

Little Peggy March - I Will Follow Him (1963)
