Patty, Last Of The Legendary Andrews Sisters Dies
It has been reported that Patty Andrews has died at the age of 94.
The Andrews Sisters close harmonies have given, and continue to give great pleasure whenever I hear them singing. Dated they may be but the songs always make me smile. Here are a couple of tunes to remind you and as a tribute to Patty and the gang.
Adrian von Ziegler – Instrumental Music
Stumbled across this while noodling around in You Tube. It was, for me, a pleasant surprise.
About Adrian von Ziegler – Instrumental Music
I’m an independent composer from Switzerland who creates various styles of mostly Celtic, Gothic, Metal and Film Music.
Everybody who likes and spreads my music is very highly appreciated since making independent music more known is incredibly hard these days.
Younger Brother – Train
This is Younger Brother and I like this, a lot.
It needs to be listened to LOUD. If this doesn’t get you moving then you are clinically dead.
Blown Away
As many of you know Radio Paradise is my station of choice to listen to when I am working. However, just once in a while it has an adverse effect and stops me from working. Well we just had one of those moments. Had to kick back, turn up the volume and close my eyes ….. They played the following tracks in succession…
Sonny Landreth – Congo Square
Stevie Ray Vaughn – Pipeline
Not the version played on RP but this is a great clip to watch.
California Guitar Trio – The Good The Bad and The Ugly
Again, not the version played by RP but well worth watching as an intro to these guys.
RIP Dave Brubeck
At the age of 91, Dave Brubeck has departed this earth and we have lost another great talent.
I am pretty sure that it was hearing the Dave Brubeck Quartets rendition of “Take Five” that really introduced me to jazz. Written by quartet member Paul Desmond this track always makes me stop and listen. This may seem strange to hear from a dedicated rock music lover. In truth I love all music that is played and presented well and for me the clear airy drumming with the iconic sax “vocal” all underpinned by Brubecks virtuoso piano playing has it all.
Of course Brubeck is more than this one single lifted from the 1959 album “Time Out” so as another tribute to Brubeck I include “Take The ‘A’ Train”
The Dave Brubeck web site is showing a nice collection of pictures of Brubeck over the years to a soundtrack showcasing a selection of tracks featuring Dave’s piano playing. The site is well worth a visit.
Brubeck died of heart failure yesterday, just one day before his 92nd birthday.
Dave we will miss you.
Gogol Bordello – St Gallen
I love these guys ever since hearing them on Radio Paradise. Give them a listen, no snap decisions.
Ebony Buckle – Beautiful Voice
I may be out of touch with the charts when it comes to the popular rappy crappy music that fills the airwaves but I do know a great voice when I hear it.
The other night I was watching the latest George Gently episode which was filled with some really nice music fronted by the voice of Ebony Buckle. This lady is a real talent. Take a listen to Silver Dagger which was featured in the show.
Hal David Walks On By
Prolific song writer Hal David has died, aged 91.
Oscar and Grammy winner David,along with Burt Bacharach wrote such hits as “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head” and “Walk on By” along with many other songs that have become standards such as “What’s It All About?”, “What’s New, Pussycat?”, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?” and “What Do You Get When You Fall in Love?”. In all Hal David was credited with writing the lyrics of some 700 songs.
The world has lost a great talent.
