Whisper Not - B.Golson quintet 1987


ベニーゴルソンといえばウィスパーノット。
ゴルソンのハスキーなテナー好きですね!ブルーノートのロンカーターのライブで至近距離で聴きましたが、とても知的な雰囲気でした。

Pianist Bill Mays plays Bill Evans\' \"Waltz For Debby\"


ビルメイズという名前は日本ではどちらかというとあまり有名ではないような気がしますが、素晴らしいピアニストですね。太くて長い指が印象的です。

Dollar Brand - The Wedding - Montreux 1980


ダラーブランドのウェディングが無性に聴きたくなることが、年に数回あります。
この曲を初めて聴いたのはたしか25-6年前。友人の結婚式の二次会でピアノを弾いてくれた青木弘武さんのソロピアノが最初でした。いい曲です!

Bill Evans - Waltz For Debby


はじめてこの曲を聴いた時の感動は今でも忘れられないですね。
これほど美しい曲を作るビルエバンスというピアニストに深い興味を覚えました。
願わくはスコットラファロの映像を見てみたかったですね。


Waltz For Debby

In her own sweet world
Populated by dolls and clowns
and a prince and a big purple bear.
Lives my favorite girl,
unaware of the worried frowns
we weary grown ups all wear.
In the sun she dances to silent music,
songs that are spun of gold
somewhere in her own little head.
Someday all too soon
she'll grow up and she'll leave her dolls
and her prince and that silly old bear.
When she goes they will cry
as she whispers "Good-bye."
They will miss her I fear
but then so will I.

What a Wonderful World - L.Armstrong & J.Williams

What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong


Joe Williams - What a Wonderful World (Live)


What a Wonderful World

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin' "how do you do?"
They're really sayin' "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah

When The Meadow Was Bloomin’

Artist:Mitsuaki Furuno
album :Full Notes

written: Barry Manilow

When The Meadow Was Bloomin’

In April weather
When the meadow was bloomin’
We walked together, to the top of the hill

Among the clovers
When the meadow was bloomin’
We dreamed tighter, just as true lovers will

But summer flies on
Far across the horizon
And winter lies on, over the valley and hill

Do you remember
When the meadow was bloomin’
In bleak December, do you think of me still

But summer flies on
Far across the horizon
And winter lies on, over the valley and hill

Do you remember
When the meadow was bloomin’
In bleak December, do you think of me still

Do you remember
Just as I always will

What Is This Thing Called Love?

What Is This Thing Called Love?

Artist: Bill Evans
Album: Portrait in Jazz

What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?

I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why i ask the lord in heaven above
What is this thing called love?

<instrumental interlude>

I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why i ask the lord in heaven above
What is this thing called love?

Transcribed by todd peach <todd@thepeaches.com>

Following is another version with additional verses:

I was a hum-drum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in thorugh my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again

What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why i ask the lawd in heaven above
What is this thing called love?

You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill
And now i sit and wonder night and day
Why i love you still?

When I Fall In Love

When I Fall In Love

Artist: Bill Evans
Album: Portrait In Jazz

- words and music by edward heyman and victor young


When i fall in love it will be forever
Or i'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When i give my heart it will be completely
Or i'll never give my heart
And the moment i can feel that you feel that way too
Is when i fall in love with you.

<instrumental interlude first two lines>

And the moment i can feel that you feel that way too
Is when i fall in love with you.
