[Dixielandjazz] Blue Prelude

[Robert Ringwald]

Lots of musicians mention how they want to know the words to the song they are playing. It supposedly helps them interpret the song better.

I never pay attention to the words of a song. I can hear a song 100 times and never know the lyrics as I am always listening to the instruments and to the voice as an instrument. 

Jim Kash mentions that the Peggy Lee Shearing version of Blue Prelude uses an unusual rhythm. I discovered that recording in the 50s and have loved it ever since, including the whole, at that time LP but now CD. So, for many years that is the only version of Blue Prelude that I heard. 

On a different  subject, I wonder if the Turk Murphy fans are aware of the Rock recordings that Turk made?

"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
If it moves, tax it.
If it keeps moving, regulate it.
And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
- Ronald Reagan
