Angeline Returns from Hospital ~ Again

[Tzara]

Maybe John Coltrane and Stan Getz, with some guy named Oscar Peterson on piano?

 

[Tzara]

Or the Coltrane Quartet, from 1963: Mr. J. on soprano, Elvin Jones, Jimmy Garrison, and a great solo by McCoy Tyner.

 

[Tzara]

My man, Chet Baker, singing and playing Time After Time, made somehow both tender and awful by the performance and his missing tooth (can we say drug problem?).

Oh, Chet. What a fucking waste.

 

[Tzara]

OK, enough for tonight. Stéphane Grappelli and the amazing Django Reinhart (hey, Eddie Van Halen, try to play this with only two usable fingers on your left hand): the Quintet of the Hot Club of France.

 

[Angeline]

Like Bill Evans?

You read my mind! I've been watching Bill Evans videos for the last hour. Honest! I'm off to post one in the poetry in motion thread.

 

[Belegon]

Sending positive energy your way, Angeline.

*magic finger wiggle, magic finger wiggle*
(hey, whatever works, right?)

A few days late perhaps, but I spend much less time on Lit compared to a couple years back and didn't see this until now...I'll try to send extra to make up my gap

 

[BooMerengue]

So there really is a Django Reinhardt? I saw Sean Penn play the guy in a movie long ago and far away, but I've never heard anything else.

hmmm...

Are you well today, Angelina darling? Is Toots bowing and scraping and tending to you? I'm thinking of you.
