Here's a favorite of most jazz musicians and singers, a classic of Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke, Here's That Rainy Day. This is a very rare, televised clip of the great Bong Peñera on piano and arrangements, with the incomparable Manila Queen of Jazz, Jacqui Magno, on vocals. Plus, it was all impromptu, no practices, or run-throughs whatsoever.
In this clip Bong and Jacqui are introduced by Jim Paredes and Nanette Inventor, a.k.a. Donya Budding. The APO Hiking Society (Jim, Danny and Boboy, were co-hosting the show with veteran Bobby Ledesma, and comedian Nanette Inventor was guest-host.)
It's a very inestimable nostalgic piece of memorabilia that should be preserved under glass in La Louvre or a Florentine museum. But then again all of Bong Peñera's works, most of which are enjoying resurgence, should be preserved in such a manner.
Consummate artists like Bong and Jacqui come only once in a lifetime. And so to have these kinds of clip or clips at our fingertips, courtesy of the great artist Bong Peñera himself, makes us more than supremely blessed.
What magic it was! What magic it is! How the ballad starts so naturally contemplative and pensive and how Bong's samba naturally weaves itself into this beautiful song. You be the judge. I, as always, am at a loss of superlatives for such great works of art.
Here's to priceless and endlessly good and indescribable music that only the likes of Bong can produce! And with Jacqui's supreme vocal magic soaring, piercing, flying, taking us to dreams, and lands of exquisite beauty and music, we certainly do not need a carpet. In this clip, Bong is Alladin, the lamp-his piano, and Jacqui-the irresistible and beautiful genie fulfilling our desires.
