"Cry Me A River"
TYWKIWDBI (Free subscription) | 10/27/2009
A " torch song " from the 1950s, first made famous by Julie London. Sung here by a performer who just came to the public's attention this past year. I've posted a version without video so you can try to see if you can recognize her voice. [Oops, never mind - I see it's in the video title :.( ] Found today at Procrastination Station . If you'd rather hear a 25-y.o. Barbra Streisand perform...

Julie London-"You'd Be So Nice to Come Home to"
Rene's Apple (Free subscription) | 10/10/2009
A commenter a few posts back hipped me to Julie London, whom I had of course heard of, but not often heard. Swinging, sexy, talented as hell-one of those many people, no doubt, whose career was derailed by the rock and roll explosion of the sixties-though London did have success as an actress. She died in 2000. The style of singing that emphasized intepretation of lyrics nearly died along with that...

Jane Austen Critiques: The NBA Coaches Edition
Pounding The Rock (Free subscription) | 09/29/2009
From the sweet soul of jollyrogerwilco and the twisted, yet brilliant, mind of CapHill: Some of my favorite moments in nationally televised NBA games are the sideline interviews, especially those with Pop . His facial expressions and terse answers are priceless, requiring transcripts in the Pounding the Rock game threads for those unable to watch. Pop's responses to the usual questions about the Spurs...

Ruth Lambert Trio @ Bascule Bar & Bistro
bebop spoken here (Free subscription) | 09/25/2009
Ruth Lambert (vcl), Mark Williams (gtr), Paul Susans (bs). The easiest way to access this trendy bar, perched on the edge of the marina that is St. Peter's Basin, is by motor launch although there is a yellow bus that stops close by. I doubt if the yuppie pop. of St. Peter's Basin have heard of buses judging by the town and country cars parked outside of their fancy address. They are extremely fortunate...

Review - Ruth Lambert's "Easy Street" *****
bebop spoken here (Free subscription) | 09/14/2009
After a year of false dawns I am pleased to announce that, finally, the new Ruth Lambert CD is now available on the Jazz Action label. Every track is a gem and I make no apology for treating each one individually. Easy Street: A totally relaxed and convincing Ruth accompanied only by Mark Williams on guitar. Never Will I Marry: One of Frank's 'Loesser' known tunes (sorry about that!). Up tempo with...
