As one commenter wrote, "Listen more carefully...the pathos is there in the tone and vibrato in her throat.? Full disclosure?I think that, among white jazz vocalists, Peggy Lee was the most moving, subtle, and skillful interpreter of lyrics. Plus, she was drop dead beautiful.<br>> <br>> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7fcx0O81VU" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7fcx0O81VU</a><br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> On Feb 26, 2017, at 10:18 AM, Steve Voce mailto:<a ymailto="mailto:stevevoce@virginmedia.com" href="mailto:stevevoce@virginmedia.com">stevevoce@virginmedia.com</a> wrote:<br>> <br>> If you could listen to Peggy Lee's version of 'Blue Prelude' with the George Shearing quintet on Capitol you would perhaps be persuaded to leave the song alone forever!<br>> Steve Voce<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> To unsubscribe or change your e-mail preferences for the Dixieland Jazz Mailing list, or to find the online archives, please visit:<br>> <br>> <a href="http://ml.islandnet.com/mailman/listinfo/dixielandjazz" target="_blank">http://ml.islandnet.com/mailman/listinfo/dixielandjazz</a><br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Dixielandjazz mailing list<br>> <a ymailto="mailto:Dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com" href="mailto:Dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com">Dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com</a><br>> <br>> <br>> -- <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> To unsubscribe or change your e-mail preferences for the Dixieland Jazz Mailing list, or to find the online archives, please visit:<br>> <br>> <a href="http://ml.islandnet.com/mailman/listinfo/dixielandjazz" target="_blank">http://ml.islandnet.com/mailman/listinfo/dixielandjazz</a><br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Dixielandjazz mailing list<br>> <a ymailto="mailto:Dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com" href="mailto:Dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com">Dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com</a><br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>> <br>> No virus found in this message.<br>> Checked by AVG - www.avg.com<br>> Version: 2016.0.7998 / Virus Database: 4756/14029 - Release Date: 02/26/17<br><br><br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Message: 7<br>Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2017 21:45:47 -0800<br>From: "Stan Brager" <<a ymailto="mailto:stanbrager@gmail.com" href="mailto:stanbrager@gmail.com">stanbrager@gmail.com</a>><br>To: <<a ymailto="mailto:dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com" href="mailto:dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com">dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com</a>><br>Cc: Dixieland Jazz Mailing List <<a ymailto="mailto:dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com" href="mailto:dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com">dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com</a>><br>Subject: [Dixielandjazz] Blue Prelude<br>Message-ID: <005001d290bc$c05764d0$41062e70$@gmail.com><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"<br><br>The Jazz Discography lists 118 recordings of "Blue Prelude".

The date of the 1955 issue works, as I would have<br>learned the song from that recording in 1959. I remember the house I was<br>living in at the time in Seal Beach, California!<br><br>I also followed someone else's lead to YouTube to hear the live performance<br>of the song. I had forgotten that it was played as a dirge. We play it as<br>a normal, but sad, ballad. I still have the sound & phrasing of the<br>original recording in my head, though. Those that blast the Dukes for being<br>a clown band, etc., though, should eat their words when they listen to this,<br>as there is an honest to goodness good trombonist playing on that recording.<br><br><br>The original aim of my post was to stir up a discussion on whether or not<br>others consider some lyrics to having some meaning in how we play melodies<br>and improvise some songs. That didn't happen, but it was nice, anyway, to<br>see all the responses on djml.<br><br>Although the Peggy Lee recording was good, I don't understand how the group<br>came up with that rhythm & tempo after hearing the lyrics. Doesn't really<br>fit at all. Seems to fit more the period in which the recording was made,<br>rather than the actual lyrics, which are timeless. Don't particularly like<br>the dirge effect, either. A down & out blues tempo & feel fit better.<br><br>Jim<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>To unsubscribe or change your e-mail preferences for the Dixieland Jazz Mailing list, or to find the online archives, please visit:<br><br><a href="http://ml.islandnet.com/mailman/listinfo/dixielandjazz" target="_blank">http://ml.islandnet.com/mailman/listinfo/dixielandjazz</a><br><br><br><br>Dixielandjazz mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com" href="mailto:Dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com">Dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com</a><br><br><br>End of Dixielandjazz Digest, Vol 170, Issue 22<br>**********************************************<br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
