Cry me a River - Jazz - Bossa Nova - Ella - Julie London

[Olithenotsogreat]

Interesting, really, but pls make quality recordings.

[mostlybossa]

@Olithenotsogreat Thanks for the visit ! This is the wrong channel for quality recordings .... I just don't know how !

[Olithenotsogreat]

@mostlybossa Well You may learn It is not difficult: Basically you need a sound card, even the cheap ones will give you reasonable results, you also need a program, but some are free! You already have a microphone , AND THAT´S IT. After that you need to learn. The best way is ask a friend who knows. Otherwise there are a lot of free tutorials in YOUTUBE. And you will be able to transform your performance into an almost profesional one.

[mostlybossa]

@Olithenotsogreat Thanks for the advice ..... must check it out !

[SmallDays1]

Nice to hear this bossa-style. Nice one, big greetings from Bristol, England,

[reneemartins]

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!

[mostlybossa]

@reneemartins Thank you Renee ! Thanks for watching !

[tuiyang]

BTW... do you have chords for your version?

[mostlybossa]

@tuiyang Nothing written yet ....... must do it one of these days !

[tuiyang]

Very creative version. Sounds better in a female voice like Julie London's or Diana Krall, but who cares? Bossa style ROCKS!!

[mostlybossa]

@tuiyang Thanks ...... Bossa is Best ! :) Sorry for the delay in replying ...... been travelling !

[ernaIV]

very deep jazzy voise!

[Alex3330]

Im not sure that's perfectly tuned.. And the sound quality isnt the very best, but the singing is good! Very good :)!

[mostlybossa]

@Alex3330

You may be right about the tuning ......recording is straight to handycam mic ....... Thanks for the generous comment on the voice ! :)

[Alex3330]

@mostlybossa Oh and i forgot to mention the playing is really cool too :3

[mostlybossa]

@Alex3330 Thanks a lot ...... been traveling on holiday with the family, sorry for the delay in replying !!!

[andrewgageable]

Mmm! Nice!

[mostlybossa]

Thanks andrewgageable !

[emmanuel260564]

hello  I'm french and enjoying the way so particular you play bossa-nova standards.

i'm myself working on a few standards of bossa with a friend of mine who plays saxophone.

i'm trying to work with your videos and the chords you use.

bravo and thanks for sharing !!

[mostlybossa]

Thank you very much emmanuel260564 !!! I hope the videos help ....... all the best to you !

[Marlene55M]

This swings! :-)

[mostlybossa]

Thanks Marlene55M !

[Marlene55M]

Welcome. I've been a bossa fan for many years!

[dmitryfriga]

From your videos I can see, that you love samba. Do you remember the "Un Homme et une Femme" - her husband was adore of samba. I understand this sense, bossa has its own , very stirring melodicity. Yust wanded to share this remembrance, good luck!

[mostlybossa]

I do remember ! Thanks for the visit dmitryfriga !

[Raccoonpeep]

my name is Ella

[mostlybossa]

Hi Ella ! I'm Domingos !

[579461sf]

Congratulations!!! I gotta learn this song now :-)

[mostlybossa]

Thanks 579461sf !

[cdrfreak]

you have a very nice voice...

did u try latin songs and salsa and jazz?

[mostlybossa]

Thanks cdrfreak ! I have 15 other videos mostly brasilian bossa nova posted on youtube . Check on More From : mostlybossa to the right of the above video.

[jonno52]

Nice work: congratulations. I'm trying to have a go at this including vocals, and it's good to know a guy can tackle it & get away with it - all the other versions I've found are by female vocalists (except Justin Timberlake who stole the title for a different song).

[mostlybossa]

Thank you very much jonno52 !!! This is a controversial video ....... specially since the rhythm has been changed .......but nothing ventured , nothing gained ! :) Look forward to hearing you ! warm regards

Domingos

[franzomagno]

compliments

[mostlybossa]

Thanks franzomagno !

[KarimsyBOoBoOman]

Fantastic, dont listen to lababoc. Bossa nova suits this song, and you have done a great service to this song

[mostlybossa]

Thanks KarimsyBOoBoOman !

[SanakanfuckYT]

Do you plan on playing this song in guitar solo? I love Cry me a river and bossa nova style and I honestly like the way how you played this song with it.

[mostlybossa]

Thanks ! Unfortunately I don't do an instrumental version of Cry me a river ! Thanks again !

[femmebotkitty]

Wonderful! I love Bossa Nova and I like that song, so great combiniation!

[mostlybossa]

Thanks femmebotkitty ! Very happy this works for you !

[lababoc]

desculpe nao gostei the song has it's own rithm bossa nova is not the way to sing it

[mostlybossa]

Thanks for your visit ! I respect every individuals opinion :) ! Best wishes!

[guctom]

[lurra9]

wow great performance!good combination!

[mostlybossa]

Thank you very much lurra9 ! You are very kind !

[petumajinbuu]

INCREIBLE!!!! WONDERFUL!!!! La magia del Bossa está en poner un ritmo relativamente alegre a liricas tan melancólicas y hermosas....la alegría en la tristeza.......

[mostlybossa]

Gracias petumajinbuu ! That's a perfect analysis of this version !

[iosss]

une merveilleuse interpretation! trés bien reussi!

[mostlybossa]

Merci iosss ! Thank you very much !

[guitaress1]

Brilliant! I really like this song as a bossa--takes all the excess drama out of it. :-) Nice singing and playing!

[mostlybossa]

Thanks ! You are right ...... bossa really is understated as compared to the 'vocal expression' involved in other genres.

[anksforever]

boss neat job!!

i m also working on my blues/jazz chops.

where are u from!!

[mostlybossa]

Thanks anksforever ! I never pretend to be a blues /jazz player ....... what you'll see here is mostly bossanova classics and some conversions to a bossa beat like this one! Check my profile on my channel ! Domingos

Goa , India.

[lipalapa]

Niiiiice, i love jazz, bossa nova and i love this song!

[mostlybossa]

Thank you very much lipalapa !

[evergreenrocks]

was lookin for some related videos for my video of the same name. dont know how i ended up here. the video that i put up is, well not by me but by zakk wylde actually.. its more country-ish if you like.. :)

[mostlybossa]

Hey Evergreen good to have you here! Someone from India ...... yay ! :) Thanks for the encouragement ..... yea still 'kicking it' and missing the bucket .....!:) Like your channel and your promo is really cool! Keep in touch !

[evergreenrocks]

good to see an old man still kickin it hard! way to go my friend. way to go. love your videos and the nylon string. :)

i see you love the classical guitar. let me know if i can be of any help :)

[jeyzinhaaaa]

=)

nice version

[mostlybossa]

Thank you jeyzinhaaaa ! I like your version !

[ILDiva1168]

It's very good,more feelings and face inpression would be nice.

[mostlybossa]

Thanks! I'm so conscious of looking 'funny' if my feelings hang out ..... will try one video with your advice !

[ILDiva1168]

The song is about hurth ,pain, dissapointment.I love the version,and let your feelings hang out.When you look in the mirror you'll see how warm and meaningful the song becomes thatway.Good luck.

[ILDiva1168]

..forgive me for my critic, exually when I listen to Diana Krall, I thing you have to feel more pitty to that "inmaginary" nasty women,take more silence between, and say hmmm.I hope will help you,you'll make it fantastic.

[delftbrown75]

You are amazing my friend, please keep on playing and singing.

[mostlybossa]

Thank you very much delftbrown75 ! Your comment is very encouraging !

[jsnukem]

aye! I just posted my own cover of julie london's version and then watched this...i love bossa nova and I play some jobim, but I haven't been able to successfully fingerpick the bossa nova beat, and sing..too hard for my small brain! nice video- and sometimes you have to make funny faces to sing...which is why i cut my face out!

[mostlybossa]

Thanks for understanding ! I'm going to put those faces down to passion and hope for 'compassion'from all ! :)

[valadga]

lovely thankyou so much.  val.

[ptilda]

You have some serious talent! Thanks for sharing.

[TbayMomof4girls]

I liked this very much...very different.

[webdemarcio]

Wonderful, Domingos.

I´ve never imagined there was Bossa Nova in India. :-) Cool discover!

Marcio, from South Brazil

[mostlybossa]

Thanks Marcio ! Goa ,where I live, was ruled by the Portuguese until 1961 ! The Portuguese language is fading here, but music from the colonies lives on ! I am passionate about Bossa Nova so you will keep hearing it on this channel !

regards Domingos

[Jazzguts]
