With 2020’s Sunset in the Blue singer Melody Gardot sinks into a dusky and languorously produced album that builds upon
her love of jazz standards, Brazilian music, and intimate balladry. The record finds Gardot surrounded by a production dream team, including longtime associate Larry Klein, who helmed 2009’s My One and Only Thrill and 2015’s Currency of Man,
as well as equally acclaimed studio pros, arranger Vince Mendoza and engineer Al Schmitt. Together, they have crafted a showcase for Gardot’s delicately nuanced vocal style. The album is an interesting dichotomy, at once intimate as if Gardot
is singing to you in a small club, yet also widescreen, framing her hushed vocals in sweeping orchestrations that reinforce
the romantic drama at play in the songs. The opening original “If You Love Me Let Me Know,” sounds like something Dinah Washington or Abbey Lincoln might sing, but filtered through the half-lidded scrim of Gardot’s bedroom intimacy. Equally evocative moments follow, as on the yearning “You Won't Forget Me,” in which Gardot balances a wry cabaret theatricality
à la Marlene Dietrich with a tangible sadness that never feels anything but real. Elsewhere, she gently wades into a handful
of earthy bossa nova songs, including a gorgeously attenuated reading of the Ella Fitzgerald number “C’est Magnifique,” featuring Brazilian singer António Zambujo and a crackling take of Marco Paulo’s "Ninguém, Ninguém" that she sings in Portuguese. We also get a movie theme-ready version of “From Paris with Love,” as well as memorable takes on classics
like “Moon River” and “I Fall in Love Too Easily.” From beginning to end, Gardot’s Sunset in the Blue holds you in its deeply rapturous glow.

2021年最後，偶遇這張碟。
清楚記得，這女人之前的專輯不是那麼吸引我
但第一首，眼前一亮
不知是她變了，還是我變了
或者，我們都變了。。。
人們對權勢者諱莫如深自動失憶失明失聰失聲
對無權勢者全城沸騰無分政治區域誓要令對方死無全屍
～～～只因自身毫無危險
謝天謝地，男的終於講句人話，女人亦及時收聲
今日冬至，唯望那位媽媽和三個小朋友可以安靜地食餐飯，團圓已是不可能
一個家庭的破裂，對家中的小朋友是終身的傷害
你永遠不知道，節日的飯桌空著一個位的那種淒涼。。。

フラメンコ‧スケッチ(Flamenco Sketches)と云う曲があります
名盤「カインド‧オブ‧ブルー」のB面に収められたこの曲はマイルス‧デイビス作となっているが
一説によると マイルスの指示に基づいてビル‧エヴァンスが作曲したといわれる
#03の「ブルー‧イン‧グリーン」(Blue In Green)も同様とされている
だが事実はどうあれ この作品に込められた詩情は
二人の偉大な芸術家の共同によってしか産まれ得なかったことに変わりない
ビル‧エヴァンスの影響を大きく受け 叙情派として人気のリッチー‧バイラーク(p)は
のどかな情景の描写の中に感じられる透き通った空間的な移ろいに身を任せつつ
スパニッシュ風の情熱へと結晶して行く美しさを見事に表現している
今日のJAZZは
リッチー‧バイラークのアルバム『Romantic Rhapsody』から
『Flamenco Sketches』をおかけします
リッチー‧バイラーク 渾身の一枚一曲である

一張多年前便十分喜愛的唱片
在這個荒唐醜惡匪夷所思的世界
唯有美麗的音樂
讓你維持著最基本的正常。。。

Pianist Enrico Pieranunzi, in a trio with bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Joey Baron, explores ten songs from movies scored by Italian film composer Ennio Morricone. While none of the pieces are standards, the ten that were chosen are each easily adaptable to jazz. Ranging from romps to waltzes and mood pieces, the music is (not too surprisingly) often cinematic and episodic, but the songs farewell standing independent of the films. Several of the pieces deserve to be covered by other jazz musicians looking for fresh material. While Pieranunzi is the lead voice, Johnson and Baron make important contributions to swinging music.

向義大利作曲家Ennio Morricone致敬的專輯
Morricone曾經為500多部電影電視配樂
奧斯卡終身獎之類一生獲獎無數。。都不重要
最重要他正是「海上鋼琴師 The Legend of 1900」的作曲！
在下原來在11年前，曾經留下了他的那曲Playing Love❤️
http://midori163.blogspot.com/2010/03/legend-of-1900-playing-love.html
這一軌Addio Fratello Crudele是1971年的一部義大利同名電影
坊間很多演繹版本
而這三位在這張碟中的演繹是最出色的！

It's All in The Game...
Keith Jarrett / Gary Peacock / Jack DeJohnette - The Out-Of-Towners (2004) {ECM 1900}
Personnel:
Keith Jarrett - piano
Gary Peacock - double-bass
Jack DeJohnette - drums
Tracklist:
01. Intro - I Can’t Believe That You’re In Love With Me 12:10
02. You’ve Changed 8:13
03. I Love You 10:00
04. The Out-of-Towners 19:45
05. Five Brothers 11:12
06. It’s All In The Game 6:47
Label: ECM, 2004
Recorded in July of '01, a full year before the group's last release, '03's Up For It, The Out-of-Towners finds pianist Keith Jarrett and his long-standing Standards Trio in a more insistent mood in Munich, where Still Live, still arguably one of the trio's finest hours, was recorded back in '86. Prior to Up For It, Jarrett and the trio had released two albums of free music. While not a complete show, The Out-of-Towners still comes closest to capturing a complete concert experience by providing free playing along with standards, and even a solo piano piece, harkening to a much-anticipated solo piano recording to be released in '05.
A more pristine recording than Up for It, the new album finds the trio further mining the standards book, this time with the up-tempo "I Can't Believe You're In Love With Me" and Cole Porter's "I Love You," along with the more medium-tempo swing of Gerry Mulligan's "Five Brothers" and the gorgeous ballad, "You've Changed." The most revealing trio piece, however, is the free-style title track, which finds them exploring the blues from the outside-in, much as they did on '01's Inside Out. But whereas the blues figured prominently on all of Inside Out's pieces but never actually resolved, "The Out-of-Towners" ultimately finds its way into a traditional blues form, albeit a slightly skewed one. One of the trio's greatest strengths is its ability to imply time, with each member providing a piece of it but never explicitly playing it, and "The Out-of-Towners" may be their best recorded example.
The encore, a tranquil yet heartfelt rendition of "It's All In The Game," places Jarrett in a solo context for the first time since '99's The Melody at Night, With You, and in a live solo setting for the first time since the '95 recording La Scala. It reflects, more than anything else, the changes Jarrett has gone through since his bout with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the latter half of the '90s. While as in the moment as the best of his solo recordings, it's also more restrained, remaining perhaps truer to the essence of the piece than Jarrett was wont to staying in earlier solo concerts. It certainly bodes well for next year's solo recording.
Jarrett's trio has become one of the primary benchmarks for piano trio interplay, and it proves that, as Jarrett has said, "it's not the material, it's what you bring to the material." While some have bemoaned the fact that Jarrett appears to have left composition behind, the reality is that with an intuitive interaction that can only come from having played together for over twenty years, Jarrett, Peacock, and DeJohnette raise the art of interpretation to a level that defies easy categorization. While they may, for the most part, choose to work existing standards, their playing is so fresh, so vital, that they make each piece sound like a new composition each time they play it.
