Monica Zetterlund - Some Other Time

[mothermasako]

what a wonderful vid! The aged Monica reminiscing as the young Monica-beautiful then- sings about how things pass. Shows how some were wise even as they may have been young. As were Bill & Monica.....

[tyjeffries]

I am now in love with this fabulous singer.. I never knew about her til I found this... So beautiful and elegant. lovely singing too...Strange she didnt get snapped up by hollywood!! x Like a singing Garbo! xx

[adjoergensen]

beautifulllllllllllll

[MrWolfmantim]

How can anyone not like this? Maybe they needed a car crash or king fu fighting or a Janet Jackson style dance troup to understand it.

[deneicy]

"Born as Monica Nilsson in Hagfors, Värmland, Sweden, Zetterlund was a singer, particularly noted for her jazz work. She began by learning the classic jazz songs from radio and records, initially not knowing the language and what they sang about in English. She went for the melody, rhythm and feeling." WIKI

[deneicy]

I cannot find the original journalistic source and do not recall if it was in an interview, album liner notes, or a review. Her WIKI page suggests she initially sang in English by "feeling," not understanding the language. That's logical. She had a translation and coach perhaps. I get help for my Italian and am RELIEVED when listeners speak to me Italian,

[deneicy]

Well, shoot, I'll see if I saved my puter HISTORY that long. Her phrasing was so credible. I sing some Italian and typically get a translation so I know what I'm singing about...but the writer said she did not understand what she was singing. Will see if I can find that source. DeNeice

[ZandraBson]

I am so proud that my grandad played with her

[Anoush23]

@ZandraBson who was your granddad then, if I may ask? :)

[ZandraBson]

@Anoush23 Hes not famous today so you wont know. He was just playing sax in her band for a year or so. He have also told me all the stories about the problem she had with alcohol and they had to carry her out etc ;/ So sad. RIP Monica <3

[ZandraBson]

@Anoush23 I have tried to find on the internet but there isnt anything. But nothing strange with that because there were manny people touring with her as her band. My grandad is like a event player for differente shows etc. So people hire him to play with bands/artists or on big events. So he got hired to play in her band for about a year. Its great to hear him talk about it and see some pictures that he got from it.

[Anoush23]

@ZandraBson well, you don't need to google your grandfather's name, do you? ;) I am just a big Music-Fan and wanted to see if I maybe know your granddad (name) :) Anyway-nice story!!!You can be really proud!!!

[ZandraBson]

@Anoush23 No I dont have to? I just wanted to see if I found something about it on the internet but I didnt. Yeh I know what u mean. Thats great. Where are u from?

[deneicy]

I read that she did not understand what she was singing. A surprise.

[jatack]

@deneicy

Before you allowed yourself to be surprised, did you happen to grasp a source for that statement?

[jwilliam2255]

Lovely!!! Beautiful woman, beautiful voice.  Her phrasing was just perfect!

[musesearch]

She seemed to carry the grace in her later life that she showed in the peformance... Beautiful.

[Bruningable]

Wonderful!

[MsMusicmagnifico]

@1JimP: Herregud så vakkert! --> Means Oh my lord how beatiful/ wonderful! :)

Fabulous singer and great to be able to live history through these old videos! :)

[krige]

Wonderful! Can anyone translate what they say in the inteview?

[jxp174]

@krige 0,00 I think my respect for him was very good.

0,06 Some other time? That was a tune that Bill suggested, and I loved it from the start.

1,39 There I looked confused

1,49 Because Chuck and Bill did not have the same opinon, that is why I looked so confused

2,15 What am I doing?

3,28 My God, how beautiful!

3,37 There he also made the arrangements(?). It in not easy to sing, but he made it easy.

5,35 Did you hear the sigh? Yes

5,41 I understand that. Was it the last tune? No, 1 more

[krige]

@jxp174 Wow, thank you so much!!! :-D

[maidoodesu]

nice !...100th like です.

[ManagerGuy1]

SHE HAS A GOOD VOICE - BUT PERHAPS U WON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE SHE DON'T SING "YEAH YEAH'S". LEAVE RACE OUT OF IT PAL..

[dpohunter]

I'm very glad to finally hear the song sung to Bill Evans' arrangement. I have his wonderful version of the song on the "Time Remembered" CD, but despite my trying, I could never figure how the vocal places into it. Just beautiful! Thanks for posting.

[grenadian11]

My, my a great voice and a beauty; Bravo!

[harsszeg]

White chick aint got no voice

[DontPrayThink]

@harsszeg at least she doesn't speak incorrectly like an immature ninth grader...

[Eryqah]

Born in Switzerland?!? haha! No she's born in my province in SWEDEN! And you know the majority of Swedes are great at English. Varfor kan inte folk skilja pa Sverige och Schweiz?? Sa himla lika ar de val inte!

[Beowul7]

@Eryqah Great at English? It makes a lot of sense, friend!

Long live Monica Zetterlund + Bill Evans Trio...

[rcrespo357]

yes eff.... that is monica. she is a work of art. born in switz, learned english... she is beautiful.

[Tulach1]

Born in Switz?! No! Born in Hagfors, Värmland in SWEDEN!

[EffortsatImprov]

Is the lady in blue who is talking with subtitles an elderly Monica?

Thanks,

Mike

[vv901vv901]

@EffortsatImprov Yes, looks like it's dated just a few years before she died. 2002-2004 or so. At 1:40 she says "There I looked confused", at 1:48 she realizes it was because Chuck and Bill didn't "mesh". At 2:15 she says "What am I doing now...!?" At 3:27: "God, how beutiful", then she says that the song in question isn't easy to sing, but that he made it easy for her to sing it. At the end the reporter said "Did you hear the sighs?" and she replied "Yes, and I understand them".

[EffortsatImprov]

Thanks! Very interesting. It was sad for her though, I'd say she didn't age as you'd expect.

Mike

[lekkerspunk]

in what key is this?

[musodave]

F major

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Hm. I heard this as a youngster in the year it was released, and rated it four and a half stars in a booklet I especially reserved for jazz recordings. Now, however, I would be less generous. Sorry.

[ransmyr]

Her Swedish recordings are amazing, and a bit experimental at times - i recommend them!

[tsopuaifa]

Makalöst vackert.

[valombreuse]

Masterpiece !

[LargsJazzer]

I have seen this many times, I agree wirh

FRANCIS6189, this is amazing ! Thank you.

[PotatisL]

very beautiful :) she´s so sweet.

[FRANCIS6189]

This is one of the BEST jazz tracks ever laid down in history. I adore her. This has been one of my all time favorite tracks for years. THANK YOU FOR POSTING.

[lrhernandezo]

Una voz maravillosa de Monica y el acompañamiento de Bill Evans hace una pelicula inolvidable

[LargsJazzer]

Thank you for this.....excellent....and as wots72 said....priceless....thank you

[wots72]

Priceless!

[sitarnut]

PURE NECTAR! Long live Monica & Bill... one of the greatest collaborations ever! Sheer beauty........ all words fail.......bless you for posting- this will help heal the universe.

[MusicaBasket]

Stunning.

[borgstol]

Deilig å se igjen...

[DrParkMD517]

This is what jazz is about. The Bill Evans on Verve collection has a MZ/BE CD on it and while listening it to death, but as great as the recording is, simply listening cannot compare to the audio-visual experience as a whole.

Thank you for the vid.

[youkali22]

They are all listening to each other, essential in a tiny trio with a cool vocalist - and it works! And watch her face as she listens to Bill!

[after6ty]

Monica was in love with him!

[Shadowspawns]

Who isn't!

[Rasmarker]

A epic masterpiece from the heaven of modern jazzmusic...

[Faxelade]

It's obvious that Chuck steadily focuses at Bill - trying to predict the next step. Playing in these slow tempi is extremely difficult and every time the bass hits the perfect tone it's honey for my soul.

[1JimP]

Awh the story behind this most precious vid! I am thrilled to find this piece of history, so worthy of being persevered. MZ & BE collaboration, may just be one of the very finest tunes I've ever heard & now seen \O/

Bill solos @ 2:38-3:46 MZ reflecting "back in time", @ 3:21 re-capturing the beauty of Bill's exceptional chording gift

then @ 3:27 MZ sez: Herregud sa vakkert! What does that mean?

thank you EngelNr666 for the sharing. What a treasure \O/jp

[EngelNr666]

herregud, så vakkert........my god, so beautiful

[vova47]

Not beautiful enough to keep quiet,though,

obviously.

[BlueberryMuffinmmm]

@1JimP It means something like "Oh my God, that's so beautiful" :-]

[dakdad2]

Extraordinary!! I'm sold.

[Ayers76]

beautiful masterpiece.

[Faxelade]

At 1:28 Monica feels that Bill and Chuck do not agree and she explains her eye movements coming from that uncertainty. Soon after Bill sets in a caracteristic chord and Monica is on the track again

[vova47]

RE:disagreement between Bill and Chuck creating confusion- there is not any evidence

of that on the video. Bill certainly knew what

he was doing and Chuck followed him perfectly

as always(notice absence of any music) so if

anybody was confused it wasn´t them.

[vova47]

At least they are not talking through piano solo,like they did in "Corcovado".Beatiful playing from Bill,Chuck and Larry!

[moonshack]

omg i can't believe im seeing this

[Faxelade]

M.Z.: Bill suggested this song, and I liked it at once. It's a difficult tune, but with him it became easy.
