Beautiful Jazz composition by Edward C. Redding. Favorite recording is Billie Holiday - Lady In Satin . Recorded 2004. IDREES - Composer, Vocalist, Trumpeter. Philly born, Harlem native; son of Talib Dawud (aka Al Barrymore), co-creator of "17 Messengers Band" (forebearers of Jazz Messengers) along with Art Blakey, et al. Lead trumpet in Dizzy's Big Band, Armstrong Band, and others. Step-mom Capitol Recording Artist Dakota Staton (Aliyah Dawud) with hit record "The Late, Late, Show". Idrees Daahoud with RATTANA WONGSANSERN piano, LESTER S. ESTEBAN drums, and NATHAPONG PUNGSUTEERUNGRAENG upright bass.
Beautifully sung version of a great - and difficult to sing(!) - melody. One of my favorite jazz tunes.
Lady Day's recording is MY favorite, also.
Idrees Daahoud - a great name! One of the best trumpeters (Idrees Sulieman, from the Clarke-Boland Big Band) and one of my favorite tunes (Freddie Hubbard's version is the best recording of Daahoud), as well!
Thanks for singing 'n' playing "The End"!!!
