Members gave their commentary on their jazz choices as follows.
John B
“Bunny Berigan probably made more versions of this number than almost anyone else, on YouTube his archive from 1938 is probably his finest. He couldn't sing, but his trumpet playing & the arrangement make this a "must listen" masterpiece.”
“One of the many groups from that period merging Jazz & Classical music +Indo Jazz fusion - Bosa Nova electronics etc popular for a while. I think this one works.”
Cynthia K
“A seductive take on an old classic."
“I think this was played as part of the recent virtual Cheltenham Jazz Festival.”
Richard I
As you all probably realise by now when things grab my interest, I tend to follow them up and chase down any link I come across. I tend to think of it as chasing a rabbit down the hole. This particular rabbit came from a book I was reading by Scott Marianni featuring an adventurer - Ben Hope. In the book Hope is a Jazz fan and started play Pat Martino on his car stereo. So, I looked him up:”
“Whilst playing Pat Martino - Spotify said I might also like Tal Farlow, which I did:”
Terry J
“I came across this unexpected offering from Stan Getz.”
“I particularly like Jazz that sounds contemporary.”
Additionally Non-Jazz Tracks were played as follows.
| U3A Member | Track Played | Artist | Album Title - where Applicable | | John B | I put a Spell on You | Nina Simone | (YouTube)
| | Cynthia K | Three Little Birds | Bob Marley
and The Wailers | (YouTube) | | Richard I | Toccata | Sky | (YouTube) | | Terry J | Somewhere Over the Rainbow | Eva Cassidy | (YouTube) | | Also Played | Losing my Touch | The Rolling Stones | (YouTube) |
Members gave their commentary on their non-jazz choices as follows.
Cynthia K
“This is to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of Bob Marley's death."
Richard I
“As you know I love Classical/Pop fusion music and the best exponents are by far SKY”
Terry J
“There are very few videos of Eva Cassidy singing live. For this performance she had a cold, so she may not have been at her best. It is a poignant performance. It was recorded on 3rd January 1996, she died of cancer on 2nd November the same year. ”
