The Good Life - 六角幸生

The Good Life


味のある歌です。美しいメロディーは、人生に悔いなしのような響きを感じます。
インストでは、大隅寿男トリオの最新アルバムにも収録されてます。
バックの河原秀夫さんは益田幹夫さんのバンドにいる頃よく聴きました。素晴らしいベーシストですね。


The Good Life


It's the good life, full of fun, seems to be the ideal,
Yes, the good life, lets you hide all the sadness you feel,
You won't really fall in love 'cause you can't take the chance,
So be honest with yourself, don't try to fake romance.
Yes, the good life, to be free and explore the unknown,
Like the heartache when you learn you must face them alone,
Please remember I still want you and in case you wonder why,
Well, just wake up, kiss that good life goodbye.
(musical interlude)
Please remember I still want you and in case you wonder why,
Well, just wake up, kiss that good life goodbye.

The Days of Wine and Roses - Bill Evans Trio

Bill Evans Trio - The Days of Wine and Roses


ジャズの演奏を始めたころ、ずいぶんと練習がてらやりましたね。
とてもきれいなコード進行です。ヘンリーマンシーニの名曲です。



Days Of Wine and Roses


The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at play
Through a meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore" that wasn't there before

The lonely night discloses just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you

(The lonely night discloses) just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden <LAUGH> that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you-oo-oo

Waltz For Debby - Bill Evans

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.

キースジャレットトリオは見ても楽しい。この弾き方を見るとこの人がクラシックピアニストにならなかった理由がわかるような気がする・・。


ON GREEN DOLPHIN STREET

作詞　BRONISLAW KAPER, NED WASHINGTON
作曲　BRONISLAW KAPER, NED WASHINGTON

Lover, one lovely day
Love came planning to stay
Green Dolphin Street
Supplied the setting
The setting for nights
Beyoud forgetting

And through these moments apart
Memories live in my heart
When I recall the love found on
I could kiss the ground on
Green Dolphin Street
Oh, yeah, mm

(Scat)

When I recall the love I found on
I could kiss the ground on
Green Dolphin Street
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

When I recall the love I found on
I could kiss the ground on
Green Dolphin Street
Bless the love I found on
Green Dolphin Street
Bless the love I found on
Green Dolphin Street

my foolish heart - karin krog -


カーリンクロッグの歌はなんともいえない彼女ならではの歌い回し、声質が好きです。特に記憶にあるアルバムは、ケニードリュー、ペデルセン、デクスターゴードンなんかと日向ぼっこしてるかのようなジャケットが記憶にあります。


My Foolish Heart


The night is like a lovely tune
Beware, my foolish heart
How white the ever-constant moon
Take care, my foolish heart

There's a line between love and fascination
So hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss

His lips are much to close to mine
Take care, my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fires start

For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
This time it's love
This time it's love, my foolish heart

For this time it isn't fascination
Nor a dream that will fade and fall apart
This time it's love
This time it's love, my foolish heart

Time After Time - Chet Baker Live (Belgium 1964)

Chet Baker Live (Belgium 1964) : Time After Time


チェットベーカーの魅力は、この気だるい歌い方。前歯が3本ぐらい抜けてるのが少し気になりますが・・・。歌のあとのフリューゲルホルンがまた渋い！

Time After Time


Writer(s): Cahn/Styne


What good are words I say to you?
They can't convey to you what's in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things I've left unsaid

Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through

I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new

And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

Falling In Love With Love - Helen Merrill

Helen Merrill, Falling In Love With Love



ニューヨークの溜息、どことなく青江三奈似てますかね。。
ベースいいかんじ。


"Falling In Love with Love"

Falling in love with love
Is falling for make-believe
Falling in love with love
Is playing the fool

Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just
For children in school
I fell in love with love one night
When the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes
Unable to see
Falling in love with love
With love ever after
But love fell out with me

I fell in love with love one night
When the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes
Unable to see

I fell in love with love
With love everlasting
But love fell out with me

はじめて聴きました、青江さんのスワンダフル。日野さんのアレンジなのか、かっこいいですね。ベースの坂井紅介さん、パーカッションの横山達治さん発見。
これは素晴らしい！


S'Wonderful


's wonderful, 's marvelous
You should care for me!
's awful nice, 's paradise,
's what I love to see.

You've made my life so glamorous,
You can't blame me for feeling amorous!
Oh 's wonderful, 's marvelous,
That you should care for me!

My dear, it's four leaved clover time,
From now on my heart's working overtime, ooh baby
's wonderful, 's marvelous
That you should care for

You've made my life so glamorous,
You can't blame me for feeling amorous!
And I guess so it's wonderful, and it's marvelous,
That you should care for, that you should care for
That you should care for me!

Autumn Leaves - Keith Jarrett Trio

Autumn leaves


秋になると必ず聴くのが枯葉。ビルエバンスやマイルスの名演もありますが、キースジャレットもよく演奏してますね。このトリオは何をやっても凄いです。

Autumn Leaves

Writer(s): Kosma/Prevert/Mercer


The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold

I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold

Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song

But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall

Stompin' At the Savoy

(1934) Benny Goodman, Chick Webb, Edgar Sampson, Andy Razaf

Savoy, the home of sweet romance,
Savoy, it wins you with a glance,
Savoy, gives happy feet a chance to dance.

Your old form just like a clinging vine,
Your lips so warm and sweet as wine,
Your cheek so soft and close to mine, divine.

How my heart is singing,
While the band is swinging,
I'm never tired of romping,
And stomping with you at the Savoy.
What joy - a perfect holiday,
Savoy, where we can glide and sway,
Savoy, let me stomp away with you;

The home of sweet romance,
It wins you at a glance,
Gives happy feet a chance to dance.
Just like a clinging vine,
So soft and sweet as wine,
So soft and close to mine, divine.

How my heart is singing,
While the band is swinging,
I'm never, never, never tired of romping,
And stomping with you at the Savoy.
What joy - a perfect holiday,
Savoy, where we can glide and sway,
Savoy, let me stomp away with you;

作曲　G. Marks - S.Simons

All of me
why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you

Take my lips
I want to lose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them

Your goodbye
left me with eyes
that cry
How can I
get along without you

You took the part
that once was my heart
So why not
take all of me


All of me
why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you

Take my lips
I want to lose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them

Your goodbye
left me with eyes
that cry
How can I
get along without you

You took the part
that once was my heart
So why not
take all of me

Yesterdays


Yesterdays
Yesterdays
Days I knew as happy sweet
Sequestered days
Olden days
Golden days
Days of mad romance and love
Then gay youth was mine
And truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life
Forsooth was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
Of yesterdays
Then gay youth was mine
The truth was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
Of yesterdays

Christian McBride & Niels Pederson-Bye Bye Blackbird


Bye, Bye Blackbird


Pack up all my cares & woes
Feeling low, here I go
Bye bye, Blackbird

Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye bye, Blackbird

No one seems to love or understand me
And all the hard luck stories they all hand me
Where somebody shines the light
I'll be coming home tonight
Blackbird, bye bye

Bye, Blackbird
Bye bye, Blackbird

No one seems to love or understand me
And the hard luck stories they all hand me
Where somebody shines the light
I'll be coming home tonight
Blackbird, bye bye

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
