Just done a few new arrangements of old songs, My old flame being one. Then the tube throws this at me. Parker and Davis. Charlie at his lyrical best.

Just discovered this thread, lots of great stuff to work my way through, should keep me happy until the end of lockdown.

 

[AndyWhiteford]

another thread here reminded me of this album by Claus Ogerman featuring tenorman Michael Brecker.
It's been getting some Night-Owl treatment here in the last few weeks... Brecker's playing is unsurpassed.

Nice pic too (shallow i am, shallow)

Heard this earlier whilst working.....took me back and good chilled night owl music

Wow. Even live, this has so much "pocket". It's like a V8 threatening to do a burn out. So much power - from a ballad.

"Brecker's playing is unsurpassed." - Isn't it just. Ogerman's writing is just wonderful. I wonder just how much Brecker had written for him - a very basic outline of melody I presume. The whole album astonishes me every time I listen.

Title: It's Magic
Words: Sammy Cahn
Music: Jule Styne

I've been addicted to this song forever. There are so many good vocal and instrumental versions besides the original Doris Day. Spoilt for choice really.

Thanks for your honesty Colin. Take care!

Google Paul Daniels.

Google Paul Daniels.

No offense was taken, Colin. All is good.

I know who he is. Do you remember Spitting Image. A program where they created puppets of celebrities. They deliberately enlarged any physical features creating grotesque caricaturizations. If you remember the way Paul Daniels was ( annoying with bloated ego issues). Spitting image did a parody of his magic show. In true spitting image fashion, they were merciless.

Extracts from Wikipedia

Paul Daniel did not mind jokes about his toupée, but took offence to a sketch depicting him nuzzling his assistant Debbie McGee's bre$%$^.

There's a revamped version of Spitting Image on Britbox. You've got to ask why we need to pay extra if we already pay our TV licences. BBC is getting too big for its boots.

This (not related to Paul Daniel ) was priceless.

In one instance Sting was persuaded to sing a re-worded version of "Every Breath You Take", titled "Every Bomb You Make" (series 1, episode 12), to accompany a video showing the Spitting Image puppets of world leaders and political figures of the day, usually with the figure matching the altered lyrics

Every bomb you make
Every job you take
Every heart you break
Every Irish wake
I'll be watching you
Every wall you build
Every one you've killed
Every grave you've filled
all the blood you've spilled
I'll be watching you

The video ended with the grim reaper appearing in front of a sunset. This version was due to be resurrected by Sting at the Live 8 concert, and the parody lyrics were cleared with their writers Quentin Reynolds and James Glen, but plans were abandoned at the last minute.

Take care matey!

Hahaha, got 'Every bomb you make' (no video only audio)

Cool thread. Let me give it a small bump.

Love that slow blues, almost stalling. And Stan the Man.
