Thanks for posting that I had no idea of it. Yes I am looking forward to the CD, I'll transfer the whole thing to my Ipod and then sit in the garden and listen to the whole thing with a glass of something nice.:)Quote:

It's very instructive to read the comments on videos. There are so many of this type on those showing real music by genuine musicians that it shows that the dumbed down referred to may not be as numerous as they think they are.
No one is ever too young to enjoy this music, because this IS the real stuff, so now you know what music sounds like, enjoy kids!!

Most of the crap today is totally forgettable by talent-less *** shakers with nothing but hype and the dumbed down behind them. No substance, nothing lasting.
Cole Porter and Artie Shaw. Couldn't get any better.
Thanks

Yes I like it, very mellow jazz sound. It even managed to quell some of my local library closure rage. I'm going to look into this Artie Shaw.
My Harry James came today and I have been playing the first CD.:smile5:
Artie Shaw has been on the top of my list among the Big Band era musicians.
I believe you'll enjoy him.
A couple of favorites:
Artie's version of Begin the Beguine

and
Comes Love
Helen comes in about 1:40

Ahh, so nice. Helen will now be in my dreams
Good night.

Artie Shaw was to the clarinet what Harry James was to the trumpet and when on a trip to Mexico he heard this tune he immediately saw it's potential and arranged it for his band. It was a massive success.

“Ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin” sung by Marlene Dietrich*
1
Wunderschön ist’s in Paris auf der Rue Madeleine
Schön ist es im Mai in Rom durch die Stadt zu gehn’n
Oder eine Sommernacht still beim Wein in Wien.
Doch ich häng', wenn ihr auch lacht, heut’ noch an Berlin:
Refrain:
Ich hab’ noch einen Koffer in Berlin
Deswegen muss ich nächstens wieder hin.
Die Seligkeiten vergang’ner Zeiten
Sind alle noch in meinem kleinen Koffer drin.
Ich hab’ noch einen Koffer in Berlin
Der bleibt auch dort, und das hat seinen Sinn.
Auf diese Weise lohnt sich die Reise,
Denn wenn ich Sehnsucht hab’ dann fahr’ ich wieder hin.
2
Lunapark und Wellenbad, kleiner Bär im Zoo,
Wannseebad mit Wasserrad, Tage hell und froh.
Werder, wenn die Bäume blühn’n, Park von Sanssouci.
Kinder, schön war doch Berlin. Ich vergess’ es nie:
Refrain: Ich hab...
Yes this is typical German sentimetality which equates with Noel Coward's London Pride and J'ai Deux AmoursQuote:

Ha, ha, the legs make up half of the cover.
This come today and I'm just listening to some of it - the Benny Goodman part at the moment (just paused Poirot for a bit). It's very relaxing stuff, highly enjoyable - dreamy!Quote:

Yes it's a good album collection.
I've got rid of my television but I did watch some of the Poirot series in the past.Quote:

Yes I think that the TV productions are hit and miss in places and some are better than others - the newer ones tend to be better, but they make for comfortable watching if you know what I mean, even the poorer ones. Some of them are also very loosely based on the novels, to the extreme that many of the plain stories have Miss Marple thrown in for the sake of it. Towards Zero is a very good AC novel and doesn't feature either Miss Marple or Poirot but has Marple added:Quote:

A good Miss Marple to watch is the latest At Bertram's Hotel if you come across that one, it's very fast paced.
