This one's worth watching just for the facial expressions!

I do remember a slow, soulful, version of this song back in the day but cannot remember who did it.  I'll keep looking.

Then just when you think it couldn't get any worse!

 

Elma Cogan

Here is a straight forward 32-bar AABA form vehicle for fun tune , Stew . Spot the ii V s ...

The word joyous comes from the same root as joke . Jazz is Play , have a laugh .

John Martyn’s Glorious Fool 

30 years ago , and still sounds contemporary . 😉

See Bobby McFerrin at the World Science Fair on YT .

83 yr-old .👍

Been rather inspired today by The Wood Brothers .

Sticky-backed draught excluder tape comes in a range of browns , black , widths and thicknesses .

Just a heads up that Octogenerian Legend Ron has been uploading a lot of old tracks onto his You tube channel recently .
Some duo stuff I didn't know existed :

Listening to bassist Monty Budwig take the first chorus of Orpheus Samba :

In the same way as tuning every instrument with the same tuner is a Good Idea ,
setting each camera's white balance manually with the same sheet of white paper is a Good Idea .

Another 12-bar 

John Gomm

Charlie Hunter . He uses a 7string with the 3 bass strings on a separate pickup and output .

Wow . This just popped upon my YT recommemdations and took me right back to school days learning what a Lament Bassline is .

A simple 12bar blues . Larry Gales - bass .

Just imagine if she discovered Jazz 😃

Very cool and a phenomenal ear. IIRC George Shearing did something similar (was it the South Bank Show? Can’t remember, lost in the mists of time). Incredible ability that I imagine only piano players could truly express...

To paraphrase the birds in the bush proverb ,
a plywood box resonating against the gut is worth two carved tops in the cloud ( or something like that ) 

During the recording of " Here Comes The Sun " George Harrison's Moog developed a fault where at the end of a phrase it would portamento down to the lowest note . They phoned for an engineer to come and fix it but by the time he arrived they decided to keep one phrase of the recording :

During the recording of Carly Simon's " You're So Vain " bassist Klaus Voorman surprised her with a short intro . She exclaimed " son of a gun ! " in surprise and it ended up on the record .

During the recording of Lee Morgan's " The Sidewinder " bassist Bob Cranshaw forgot the pick-up he had come up with at the start of the tune when it came to the final head so the band had to re-record the ending and the engineer spliced it on .

During the recording of "Roxanne "Sting sat on a piano thinking the lid was down .

China Girl - ( Iggy Pop )

Tom Petty song in 3 part harmony .

And I'm glad Mel Torme has been mentioned . Here he is singing the most recorded jazz tune ever :
 

For a source of lyrics added to jazz tunes seek Jon Hendricks of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross .

I downloaded Davinci a couple of days ago, nothing to do with this thread, the other guys wanted to do a video and I offered to have a punt at editing.

Ahead of the the project itself, I just pulled in some short videos shot on a variety of phones and cameras.

I'm struggling to actually keep the program open!  It crashes constantly.
