What are you listening to?

The space between


The tears we cry...
Is the laughter that keeps us coming back for more
The space between...


The wicked lies we tell and hope to keep safe from the pain

 

But will I hold you again

 

These fickle fuddled words confuse me
Like will it rain today


We waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games we're playing

 

We're strange allies
With warring hearts
What a wild eyed beast you be

The space between
The wicked lies we tell and hope to keep safe from the pain

But will I hold you again

 

The space between

 


our wicked lies is
Where we hope to keep safe from pain

Take my hand
Cause we're walking out of here.

Near the end of the show, the venue was trying to get him to wrap things up and an employee kept pointing to the clock at the foot of the stage that was counting down how minutes were left in his set. He looked at the clock with a few minutes left on it, unplugged it, sat back down and announced, "I'm here to play for the people. And if you good people want me to keep playing, then I'm going to play ALL NIGHT, BECAUSE I'M BB KING." The crowd lost it! He went on to play for another 45 mins. Honestly the best show of my life. There will never be another.

Jazz!

 

 

 

 

That is some sweet jazz.  For pure emotion it is hard to beat Chet Baker on the trumpet. I truly thank you for this!  It put me where I needed to be.

There’s a story of Chet Baker going to a bebop audition to play with Charlie Parker. He played the best bebop of any of the guys there (Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis included). Charlie Parker stopped the audition right there and went with Chet.

@silent thunder: Being a big blues guy I had to do this Chet baker blues song. A little jazzier than my usual blues fare but, damn! It is so good!

Damn!  I just listened to this for the 3rd time in two days! I have always loved Nina Simone!  She should be in every music hall of fame on Earth!

Fully agree.

She is just... so fully present.

authentic...

 

she wasn't catering, selling

she was sharing authentically... of herself.

 

one of a kind, what a force

 

all that from a screen, can only imagine being in the room with her...
