Na dann:
Hellen Merrill singt Ornette Colemans Lonely Woman
Helen Merrill – A Shade Of Difference (1968)
„With arrangements provided by pianist Dick Katz and adventurous yet sympathetic playing by Thad Jones on flugelhorn and cornet, flutist Hubert Laws, altoist Gary Bartz (who is only on Ornette Coleman’s „Lonely Woman“), Katz, guitarist Jim Hall, either Ron Carter or Richard Davis, on bass and drummer Elvin Jones, this is a particularly strong jazz vocal date. Merrill’s voice was at its prime during the era, and her ability to tackle a wide repertoire and to bring new life to standards (including taking „My Funny Valentine“ as a fairly free duet with Ron Carter) makes this a highly recommended effort.“ (allmusic)
Bei dem Stück Where Do You Go? bleibt mir regelmäßig der Atem stehen.

“There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true it can pierce the veil between life and death. Conjuring spirits from the past and the future. This gift can bring healing—but it can also attract demons.” (From the movie Sinners by Ryan Coogler)
