quelle voix ! dire qu'elle se produisait ds certains hôtels , elle y était acclamée par des blancs mais devait rejoindre sa chambre par le monte-charge,les blancs ne voulant pas partager l'ascenceur avec une noire ! Quelle honte !PARDON! billie,moi qui suis blanche !
Billie Holiday would not have appreciated this mix. She was a jazz purist - selective about her accompanists whom she held in the highest esteem as fellow performers playing an individual role in each recording. - illustrated in the original version of Speak Low especially by Jimmy Rowles' wonderful piano solo.
I sit on a porch watching the clouds roll down the side of the sorounding mountains here in Oinoi greece, the pine trees seem greener than ever before and a glass of warm Sangria rests in my lap while my two dogs lazy take a nap. Its the time searching on the tube with a laptop really pays back. Epice song, just what i needed now.
@USFINS: With all due respect, might I remind you that music is ever-evolving? In order for music to evolve, reach new ears, touch new hearts, renew itself...whatever the case may be...it must transform. Think of it this way: nothing comes close to the original, but this is a new version remixed in HONOUR of the original. Think about how many people might now explore the beauty of Billie Holiday's music (in all its forms) because of this new version? We should celebrate this.
Speak Low has such beautiful, intricate chord changes, but here they're completely buried. What a waste to dumb down such a timeless, heavenly ballad. Billie, the artist, has been reduced to everyday common crap; the same stuff polluting TV & radio for decades. Thank the media and music execs who just want to make $. It sounds like music for zombies, while the educated connoisseurs have to put up with it, every day, everywhere.
so soothing.........love it
