Michel Legrand rarely replicates treatment of songs. Richard Rodgers' My Funny Valentine has benefited from myriad interpretations. The first here from 1974 shot through with rapid string interjections featuring jazz harmonica Toots Thielemans.If you dont like this arrangement join a club~ Your own club because some sad to say come a cropper on this type of Legrand Why does he not play the music straight ? Thats the point People who have problems with this probably are not too keen on the orchestra in the first place. An \"on your toes\" encapsulation of Legrand is his ever alert ever changing ~ approach ..
The second styling from 1962 features alto saxist Phil Woods capped superbly by Bill Costa, Warren Smith, Gary Burton (vibes) and a battery of percussion. The mood is cool jazz the arrangement ~ Legrand.
Have you noticed a wholly sneaky thing happening on U Tube. A raft of stuff disappearing from our midst.Point in question. 1963 Reprise album Duke Ellingtons Symphonic Ellington appeared some time ago leaving Ifcopod and musical confreres in a delirious state of expectation. Suddenly \"now you see it now you dont\" all vamoosed before the word google might censoriously escape from pursed parchment lips Judge Judy. .Luckily I had a copy of \" la Scala She too pretty\" a delightful highlight from Symphonic Ellington instinct with typical Ellington orchestral nuance nevertheless it would have been handy to have a U Tube copy on standby. The slaughter continues apace. Whole wodges of stuff is getting similar treatment \". I thought i was away on a hack mentally storing up all downloadable prospects. Any in particular? Now that you ask. Lady is a Tramp by your friend and mine George Siravo Orchestra. but a slew of U Tube goodies dangled before greedy eyes suddenly snatched away what can a person say?. Let me asseverate~ this is below the belt. Now scramble for asseveration in the dictionary Last time asseveration was invoked someone said surely you mean assertion. and so our anecdote totters to a hapless demise.
