Nathaniel Adams Coles(March 17, 1919 –
February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was an American
singer, jazz pianist, and actor. Cole's career as a jazzand pop
vocalist started in the late 1930s and spanned almost three decades where he
found success and recorded over 100 songs that became hits on the pop charts.
He received numerous accolades including a star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame(1960) and a Special Achievement Golden Globe Award.
Posthumously, Cole has received the Grammy
Lifetime Achievement Award(1990), along with the Sammy Cahn
Lifetime Achievement Award(1992) and has been
inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame(2000), and the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame(2020).
Cole started his career as a jazz pianistin the
late 1930s, where he formed The King Cole Trio which became the top-selling
group (and the only black act) on Capitol Recordsin the 1940s. His trio was the model for small jazz ensemblesthat followed. Starting in 1950 he transitioned to become a solo
singer billed as Nat King Cole. Despite achieving mainstream success, during
his career he faced intense racial
discrimination. While not a major vocal public
figure in the civil rights
movement, Cole was a member of his local NAACPbranch and
participated in the 1963 March on
Washington. He regularly performed for
civil rights organizations. From 1956 to 1957, he hosted the NBCvariety series The Nat King
Cole Show, which became the first nationally broadcast
television show hosted by an African American.
Some of his most notable singles include
"Unforgettable",
"Smile",
"L-O-V-E",
"Let There Be
Love", "Mona Lisa",
"Autumn Leaves",
"Stardust",
"Straighten Up
and Fly Right", "The Very
Thought of You", "For Sentimental Reasons",
"Embraceable You"
and "Almost Like
Being in Love". He is known for his
Christmas album The Magic of Christmas(1960)
which included "The Christmas Song";
in 1999 it was named by Rolling Stoneas one of the greatest Christmas albums of all time. He was the
father of singer Natalie Cole(1950–2015),
who covered her father's songs in the 1991 album Unforgettable...
with Love.
I've just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo toy
When I met my sweet Lorraine, Lorraine,
Lorraine
She's got a pair of eyes
That are brighter than the summer sky
When you see them, you'll realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine
Now when it's rainin', I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle
Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine
Now when it's rainin', I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle
Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine.

COLTRANE

GENRE: JAZZ
YEAR: 2001
John
William Coltrane (Hamlet, September 23, 1926 - New York, July 17, 1967) was an
American jazz saxophonist and composer, having performed mainly during the
fifties and sixties. Commonly considered by specialized critics as the greatest
jazz tenor sax and one of the greatest jazz musicians and composers of all
time. His influence in the world of music goes beyond the boundaries of Jazz,
ranging from Rock to Classical Music.
Born in
North Carolina, the grandson of an evangelical minister, John Coltrane grew up
in High Point and New Jersey in a time of severe racial segregation in the
mid-twenties, having had a poor childhood, like most black children of that
time in his country. His interest in music started due to his father who played
several musical instruments and who encouraged him to study music. During his
adolescence, Coltrane lost several relatives, such as his aunt, grandfather and
father. These losses would mark him for his entire life.
Coltrane
began his career playing in various big bands after the end of World War II. He
played with several jazz giants such as Dizzy Gillespie and Paul Chambers
(later he would play with him again in the Miles Davis quintet-sextet).
From 1955
to 1960 he was part of Miles Davis' historic quintet, having participated in
memorable albums such as Cookin', Relaxin', Steamin', 'Round About Midnight and
Workin', all from 1956. The following year he recorded his first albums as
leader, with Blue Train reaching greater prominence in the jazz scene. This was
his first major phase as a musician, although it was a very difficult period in
his personal life, due to an addiction to heroin, acquired in the late forties.
This was the reason why Miles Davis fired him at the end of 1956. In 1957 he
was hired by the great pianist Thelonious Monk and recorded a few albums with
him, Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane being the most recognized.
In 1958, Coltrane was rehired by Miles Davis starting his
great phase as a sideman. In the coming years, he would record two albums that
would go down in Jazz History:
* Milestones (1958), a great Cool Jazz album.
* Kind of Blue (1959), the iconic album of Cool Jazz.
The Miles Davis sextet, in addition to John Coltrane, had
two other great jazz musicians: the famous pianist Bill Evans and the great
bassist Paul Chambers. This album was one of the biggest hits in the history of
the genre.
In 1960, after leaving Miles' group, Coltrane began a new
phase, leading a quartet with McCoy Tyner on piano, Jimmy Garrison on double
bass and Elvin Jones on drums, and began a bold and unprecedented exploration
of jazz sound space. Coltrane developed an absolutely unique style, where the
so-called sheets of sound (sheets or layers of sound) predominated, which were
composed of long phrases of fast notes played in legato. Coltrane embarks on a
radicalization of harmony that takes him to the brink of atonality. It also
fragments and deconstructs the themes, leaving them almost unrecognizable under
a jam of tortured phrases. Coltrane's quartet production between 1960 and 1965
is a milestone in jazz history, comparable to Miles' quintet. Coltrane's
several, very long and impressive versions of My Favorite Things, Rodgers and
Hammerstein's apparently banal waltz, are anthological. In 1965 the quartet
creates what is unanimously considered their masterpiece, the four-movement
suite A Love Supreme.
Although coming from hard bop, Coltrane from 1955 to 1965
could already be considered in some sense a forerunner of free jazz. However,
in 1965, his connection with the avant-garde became even more direct, when he
joined free musicians such as drummer Rashied Ali, saxtenorists Archie Shepp
and Pharoah Sanders, among others. His wife, pianist Alice Coltrane, also
accompanies him in this new, daring and short phase. The disc Ascension is a
masterpiece of that period, already detached from tonal harmony. Quite
religious, Coltrane imbued his works from 1965-1967 with a strong religious and
mystical content. He died suddenly and prematurely in 1967 at the age of 40
from liver cancer. After his death, a large amount of unpublished recordings
were located and released, allowing the public to better assess how monumental
his work is.
"In a Sentimental Mood" is a jazzcomposition by Duke Ellington. He
composed the piece in 1935 and recorded it with his orchestra during the same
year. so the song was credited to all three. Other popular versions in 1935/36
were by Benny Goodmanand by Mills Blue
Rhythm Band.
In A Sentimental Mood
I can see the stars come thru my room
While your loving attitude
Is like a flame that lights the gloom
On the wings of ev'ry kiss
Drift a melody so strange and sweet
In this sentimental bliss you make my
Paradise complete
Rose pearls seem to fall
It's all like a dream to call you mine
My heart's lighter thing
Since you made me this night a thing divine
In A Sentimental Mood
I'm within a world so heavenly
For I never dreamt
That you'd be loving sentimental me
In A Sentimental Mood
I can see the stars come thru my room
While your loving attitude
Is like a flame that lights the gloom
On the wings of ev'ry kiss
Drift a melody so strange and sweet
In this sentimental bliss you make my
Paradise complete
Rose pearls seem to fall
It's all like a dream to call you mine
My heart's lighter thing
Since you made me this night a thing divine
In A Sentimental Mood
I'm within a world so heavenly
For I never dreamt
That you'd be loving sentimental me.

Monica Zetterlund(born Eva Monica Nilsson; 20
September 1937 – 12 May 2005) was a Swedishjazzsingerand actress. Through
her lifetime, she starred in over 10 Swedish film productions and recorded over
20 studio albums. She gained international fame through her collaborative album
with Bill Evans, Waltz for
Debby.
Zetterlund began
by learning the classic jazz songs from radio and records, initially not
knowing the language and what they sang about in English. Her hit songs
included "Sakta vi gå genom stan" (Swedish cover of "Walking My
Baby Back Home";
in Swedish a tribute to Stockholmtown), "Visa från Utanmyra", "Sista jäntan", "Trubbel",
"Gröna små äpplen" ("Little Green
Apples"), "Monicas vals" ("Waltz for
Debby"), "Stick iväg, Jack!" ("Hit the Road Jack"), "Att angöra en brygga",
"Var blev ni av", "Måne över Stureplan"
(cover of Sting's "Moon Over Bourbon Street") and "Under vinrankan!", among many others.
She also
interpreted the works of such Swedish singer-songwriters as Evert Taube, Olle Adolphsonand Povel Ramel, as well as international jazz
musicians/songwriters. She worked with leading American players including Louis Armstrong, Bill Evans, Stan Getz, Steve Kuhnand Quincy Jones, and in the Scandinavianjazz world with people like Georg
Riedel, Egil Johansen, Arne Domnérus, Svend Asmussenand Jan Johansson. Zetterlund and Hagge Geigertin 1967
In 1964, she
recorded the jazz album Waltz for
Debby, featuring Bill Evans, a record she herself described and was the most
proud of. Her professional skill was amply demonstrated in this album in
performing the challenging Harold Arlen song, "So Long, Big Time".
Åh det är skönt när mitt Stockholm är grönt
sakta gå hem genom stan
En kyss sen går man sakta igen
sakta en tur genom stan
Åh det är natt och på avstånd hörs skratt
Och man går hem genom stan
En doft av hö från nån ljuv skärgårdsö
smyger sig tyst intill stan
Precis som din arm så lätt och så varm
känns sommarens vind mot min kind
Och natten står still den finns inte till
en tystnad en skugga en vind
Den är så kort och den glider tyst bort
när trastarna vakna i stan
Klockan är två hela himlen är blå
sakta vi går genom stan
Sakta hitåt ror en man i en båt
stannar och ser på en svan
Allt är tyst och jag tiger nyss kysst
sakta vi går genom stan
På Västerbron i den himmelska ron
en spårvagn går ensam och tom
Alla hus målar natten i ljus
hemligt går träden i blom
Här bor en miljon
säg hör de den ton som Stockholm nu spelar för
dem
De far härifrån långt bort härifrån
men Stockholm det är ju vårt hem
Vart vi än går vet jag Stockholm är vår
när vi går hem genom stan
Här går vi med en tyst melodi
ensamma i hela stan
Så stannar vi till vid fåglarnas drill
vi känner en doft av viol
Och glada vi hör en jublande kör
då stiger en gnistrande sol
Åh det är skönt när mitt Stoclkholm är grönt
sakta en natt då i stan
En kyss sen börja vandra igen
sakta gå hem genom stan
sakta gå hem genom stan
sakta gå hem genom stan.

GENRE: JAZZ
YEAR: 2011
Tin Pan Alley was a collection of music
publishersand songwritersin New York Citythat dominated the popular music
of the United Statesin the late 19th and early
20th centuries. It originally referred to a specific place: West 28th Street
between Fifthand Sixth Avenuesin the Flower
Districtof Manhattan; a
plaque (see below) on the sidewalk on 28th
Street between Broadwayand Sixth commemorates it.
In 2019, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commissiontook up the question of preserving five buildings on the north side
of the street as a Tin Pan Alley Historic District. The agency designated five
buildings (47–55 West 28th Street) individual landmarks on December 10, 2019,
after a concerted effort by the "Save Tin Pan Alley" initiative of
the 29th Street Neighborhood Association. Following successful protection of
these landmarks, project director George Calderaro and other proponents formed
the Tin Pan Alley American Popular Music Project to continue and commemorate
the legacy of Tin Pan Alley with various advocacy and educational activities.
On April 2, 2022, 28th Street between
Broadway and 6th Avenue was officially co-named “Tin Pan Alley” by the City of
New York in a celebration featuring NYC City Councilmember Erik Bottcher,
Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine and representatives from the NYC
Landmarks Preservation Commission, the Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership and the
Tin Pan Alley American Popular Music Project which advocated for the co-naming.
The start of Tin Pan Alley is usually dated
to about 1885, when a number of music publishers set up shop in the same
district of Manhattan. The end of Tin Pan Alley is less clear cut. Some date it
to the start of the Great Depressionin the 1930s when the phonograph,
radio, and motion pictures supplanted sheet musicas the driving force of American popular music, while others
consider Tin Pan Alley to have continued into the 1950s when earlier styles of
music were upstaged by the rise of rock & roll,
which was centered on the Brill Building.
Brill Building songwriter Neil Sedakadescribed his employer as being a natural outgrowth of Tin Pan
Alley, in that the older songwriters were still employed in Tin Pan Alley firms
while younger songwriters such as Sedaka found work at the Brill Building.
Evening, every
night you come and you find me
Why must you
always remind me, that my baby's gone
Evening, you got
me deeper in your power
Every minute
seems like an hour
Since my baby's
gone
Shadows fall upon
the wall
That's the time I
miss your kisses most of all
Even though I
try, how can I go on
Oh evening, let
me sleep 'til the glow of dawn is breaking
I don't care if I
don't awaken
Since my baby's
gone
Shadows fall upon
the wall
That's the time I
miss your kisses most of all
Even though I
try, how can I go on
Oh evening, let

Richard Bon(born 28 October 1967) is a Cameroon-born
American multi-instrumentalist and singer.
Bona Penda Nya Yuma Elolo was born in Minta, Cameroon, into a
family of musicians, which enabled him to start learning music from a young
age. His grandfather was a griot–a West
African singer of praise and storyteller – and percussionist, as his mother was
a singer. When he was four years old, Bona started to play the balafon. At the
age of five, he began performing at his village church. Not being wealthy, Bona
made many of his own instruments: including flutesand guitars (with cords strung over an old motorcycle tank).
His talent was quickly noticed, and he was
often invited to perform at festivals and ceremonies. Bona began learning to
play the guitar at the age of 11, and in 1980, aged just 13, he assembled his first
ensemble for a French jazz club in Douala.
The owner befriended him and helped him discover jazz music, in particular that
of Jaco Pastorius, which
inspired Bona to switch his focus to the electric bass
Tiki is the fourth solo studio album by Cameroonianjazzbassistand musician Richard Bona. It was
released on October 2, 2005 through Universal Music France,
and has charted in several countries.
Susheela Raman, Mike Sternand Djavanmade guest
appearances on the album, and the 2006 edition of the record features a song
"Please Don't Stop" with guest vocals by John Legend.
