Que ternura, que dulsura, que voz tan sutil, sensual saxofon me llega al alma y me hace brotar lagrimas, esto parece musica de otro mundo o allà te tranporta.
She sings the best version of this Song, I like Carmen McRae and Nancy Wilson singing it but Etta Jones has so much more in her voice to me:) and it has the best instrumental too :D
Etta's career was 1944-2001, her best work in the '60s with Oliver Nelson and Jug. Some of the later recordings suffer from too much reverb and electronica in the orchestrations (as on this example). But she's on my list of the top 5-7 jazz vocalists of the last century.
So? Who are your other 6? I"m really still getting to kow Etta Jones myself. The more I hear the more I like. She wasn't anyone anyone in my crowd talked about.
This song is transcendent-and really one of the greatest soul jazz pieces ever. Too bad they never got to record the twenty-minute version! Imagine a very long dance with your one and only love-zken in california
I always wanted to learn how to play the sax like Houston Pearson he makes that sax sing. As for me I'm one of the twins son. Wishing they all was here. Peace!
I will always love her. She is my cousin and my mother and aunt is up there with her. Her favorite cousin's the twins. I know they are watching over all of us. It was very hard to see her sick. She didn't know anyone on her last few days on earth. I love you cousin Etta your songs was the greatest. The one that was a hit was "Don't go to Strangers".
the intro was a beautiful kind of torture - clocking in at 3 minutes! great soft horn work but i was dying of anticipation by the time her voice came in. what a build up and well worth the wait. the song is called "don't misunderstand". classic!

Etta Jones... one of the most underrated singers of all time. It still makes me wonder why Etta never got the recognition she really deserved....

Love you, Etta. You make my heart sing when I hear you sing. Can't wait to get to heaven so I can hear you sing in person.

terrific visuals, too.

Etta Jones was a sweetheart, never saw her in person, but I have most of her albums and cherish her memory.
Etta and Houston were like Billie and Lester, they were made for each other.
God bless you Etta.
