Okay, been without inspiration too long. Need some classic sounds to get things movin.
This artist was, like many others, a flame that went out too soon. Dylan wrote this but Hendrix really covered it.

Too funny - I'm sitting traffic listening to what used to channel 15 (I don't even know the name of the channel) and up pops this song. I'm listening away, rocking along and then I look down at the title of the song. I immediately thought of my good pal Atypical and his sidekick Havakasha.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwLOJtaYHxg
I've heard this song a million times, but only listened it today.
Now, to Atypical's post directly above, great song no doubt, but this version is pretty damn good too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yam6mrCCvD4
God (sorry) do I love that band.
Don't remember if I ever heard this version, but it seems familiar.
Not bad. Listened to another version, too.
Incidentally, Havakasha and I are Batman and Robin*, The Lone Ranger and Tonto*, Lunt and Fontanne* and Bonnie and Clyde*.

I listened to most of the interview. She wrote this song while her grandfather lay dying in the hospital. About his being on the edge of glory. Quite a touching story.Quote:

Me too, but piece by piece. It was 90 minutes in total.
Man is it hot, but the rain woke me up this morning. My garden and yard could use a little water (as well as weeding and grass cutting lol). I was in Chicago the last two days, and it was just as hot there. Two seconds outside and you're sweating, but it is good for the tomatoes. Man, they are growing like 2" per day. It's amazing in the sense that everyone got a late start due to the rain, cold, hot back in late May.
Everyone is away for the weekend, so I'm taking the liberty to clean the AC system / air filters...., and it's already 78 in here and the humidity popped up 5%. The system has only been off an hour.
Stay cool.

Post 17 has a tune by Eddie Harris and Les McCann, 'Cold Duck Time'. Here is a playful rendition by Al Jarreau, with Kurt Ellings' band backing him. Ramsey Lewis and Elling (also in this thread) sit in the back listening and smiling at Jarreau's antics.

We've just lost another giant talent in music, Al Jarreau. He was admitted to hospital reportedly a few days ago. This is a huge loss for the best in jazz, pop and R&B, all categories in which he worked and garnered awards.
Here is his version of a beautiful love song that contains his wonderful recognizable style.
Al Jarreau
Since I Fell For You

And, a live performance, showing Jarreau's fun mannerisms with the great Joe Sample on piano, and of course, the ubiquitous Steve Gadd on drums.

Some refer to singers as "musicians." That appellation certainly applies to Jarreau who all through his career did things with his voice that, if you didn't see him, you might think was the sound of an instrument or a form of percussion.
There is other music by Jarreau elsewhere here, (Mas Que Nada with Petrucciani). The first song in this medley is done by Eliane Elias in a post of her music.

This tune has been around for some time - and I just today saw Jarreau's version. The band has many members seen in other appearance and his treatment of this classic is superb.

LONDON (AP) — British musician Jack Bruce, best known as the bassist from the 1960s group Cream, has died. He was 71.
Publicist Claire Singers said Saturday Bruce died at his home in Suffolk, England.
Cream, which also included guitarist Eric Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker, sold 35 million albums in just over two years and were awarded the world's first ever platinum disc for their album "Wheels of Fire."
One of my favorite Cream tunes. Many say that Jack's bass line makes the song.

One very late night I was driving and heard Morgana King singing Corcovado. I pulled over to listen so that I wouldn't be distracted. It was that memorable. I had never heard it sung the way she did it.
4/11/17
I have continued to look for the version I remember, as mentioned above. Well, persistence does pay off because I just found this. It likely is the one I remember. I deleted the TV appearance with an abbreviated version.
An ethereal yet striking interpretation of a lovely song made special by her incredible vocal range.
Morgana King
Corcovado

I am providing some others to give examples of her incredible range (5 octaves) and brilliance. Her talent is something to behold...her voice is haunting. There are many good singers but no one that sings like this. Maybe, never again.
Here's That Rainy Day (1/9/16 previously deleted but now available)
