Music You Enjoy

It's Caldwell week at our home.
Met Bobby right after "What You Won't Do For Love" was aired, and told him I wished he wrote it earlier, as it would have made a great wedding song for us.

Hadn't played it in years but picked up the Piccolo and blew it.
F#minor, relative of A major.
Fun key for the Picc that only goes down to D natural.... but flies higher than an SR-71.
Just call me BlackBird. :D

If you have a guitar or bass sitting around try this.

Promising young jazz singer, Samara Joy

Just came across this on the BBC website, of all places. There are a couple of vids on the link.

Samara Joy brought back old-school jazz. It won her two Grammys
The 23-year-old has a sound that's both timeless and fresh, blending old-school jazz crooning with the R&B vocalists she grew up on.

She's not a household name yet, but those who know, know.

And last month, the Grammys gave her the ultimate seal of approval - awarding her best jazz vocal album and, more significantly, best new artist...

...When friends introduced her to Billie Holliday and Sarah Vaughan, she was "hooked", applying the same analytical approach to jazz that she'd practised on Disney soundtracks as a child.

"I was like, I'd never heard these women before. It was really an eye opener."

Encouraged by her professors, she won the prestigious Sarah Vaughan jazz competition in 2019, but her subsequent debut at the Newport Jazz Festival was abruptly dropped when the pandemic hit....​
