Level 42 and "43" - not so great on YT but worth a track download along with a lot of their instrumentals - I've put a CD for the car together just of instrumentals, only risk is that it increases my driving speed!

Wiggs - yes, very emotive - just beautiful.

It should be dedicated to a loved one.

Easily my favourite tune of the moment - Smoove remix of Third Degree's cover of "Can't get you out of my head":

Anyone still awake and into Bowie should tune into BBC4 - otherwise check out iplayer in the next few days.

I was asked a question about Church gallery Music the other day, to my shame I hadn't heard of it. A friend loaned me a C.D. of Maddy Prior and The Carnival Band. If anyone fancies a good listen to music I can recommend it.

I'll file that as music to listen to whilst being burnt alive inside a wicker man.

Here he is. Sinatra, I'm a fool to want you. A masterpiece of timbre and phrasing (in my book).

Here is Frank, old and the voice is gone, and singing 'Send in the Clowns'. Damn it, it's poignant.

For me, Frank needs bitterness to work, Clowns does (for me) Fool offers hope, and for me Frank was not about hope, regret, bluster maybe, but not hope. nicely sung, but Clowns kills me

Philip Glass, Metamorphosis. from Battlestar Galactica. There's a nice door slamming.

I hate cheerful Frank, he did all those bubbly songs at some point, which sound awful. He had a blue period, with songs about loneliness, very good. But after all, that voice, and its timbre, fucking amazing. Not really a 'good voice', just infinitely tender.

There was one album of lonely songs, with a picture of him sitting at a bar. Can't remember the title. One song by Goethe on it.

wigginhall · « **Reply #745 on:** June 25, 2012, 05:55:22 PM »

This is the Goethe song, the music by Tchaikovsky. None but the lonely heart. The phrasing towards the end is amazing. 'Alone and parted far/from joy and gladness/my senses fail/a burning fire/devours me/'

Been in a bit of a funk today (not in the good way). After walking the dog in the sunshine and settling down to BBC4's '1959: The year that changed jazz' the world is looking a lot brighter.

No doubt I'll be digging through my old jazz collection tomorrow......although it's a bit depressing that more people have heard of Sinatra than Coltrane, Davis, Coleman, or Mingus.

Don't be depressed. More people have heard of Justin Bieber than Sinatra. It all comes out in the wash. My trouble is that I like everything. Here is a prezzie for you.

Whilst I can appreciate that Sinatra could hold a note, there's something in all the hype that I appear to have missed. He's just sort of... alright? Tony Bennett likewise. They seem to sing out of time with the music, and whilst in anyone else that's a flaw with them it's treated like genius.

wigginhall · « **Reply #749 on:** June 25, 2012, 07:24:29 PM »

Subjective, innit? I like Sinatra's voice, and I like his phrasing. I think he has great tenderness, and as FF said, his bitterness is fine also. I can't stand his cheerful stuff, e.g. 'It's nice to go travelling', but that's just me.

Oh shit, I just listened to it, and it's fabulous. It's all the melismatics.
