Notes_Norton Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 We are doing a jazz fake-disk for Band-in-a-Box, based on tunes in the Real Book series, and we found this gem. Aquarius - Benny Goodman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) We're still doing that jazz disk for Band-in-a-Box, and there are a number of pop songs that have been done by jazz artists, like the one in the above post. So we stumbled on: Billie Jean - Ben Sharkey Nice vocals and arrangement, though I think the piano solo is a little weak.16 bars would have been enough for me. YMMV Edited September 24, 2021 by Notes_Norton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane_B. Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 The Air That I Breathe by Albert Hammond. It's the original and I've always thought it was the best version out there. I always loved Phil Everly's version too. I like them both equally actually. Never cared for The Hollies version. Sorry if this has been posted before. This thread is too huge to check. Hah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I was digging around in the early roots of rock n roll for a Band-in-a-Box project and I came across this cut by The Clovers. Personally I think The Clovers should get more recognition as pioneers of rock and roll... They did this and so many rock standards first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User 905133 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Doo-Wop reminds me of that legendary acapella group, The Persuasions. So I started listening to this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all this time (that is, since the '60s), I never thought of how the amazing Beach Boys vocal sound grew out of doo-wop, but now that you mention it, it makes sense. I had a Beach Boys listening binge within the past year (lots of behind-the-scenes documentary videos among other), but the next time I will be listening with new ears. ? 4 hours ago, pwalpwal said: zappa had a love of doo wop Yup!!!

bitflipper Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 A game I play when watching old performances is identifying all the now-vintage instruments in use. Here we have the unique Yamaha CP-80 , an electric piano that had real piano strings inside, and an Oberheim OB-X - the rarely-seen 8-voice, split keyboard version that would have been the latest in cutting-edge tech in 1982. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 One of the fun aspects of doing fake disks for Band-in-a-Box that are compatible with off-the-shelf fake books from Hal Leonard and other publishers is making musical discoveries. I know of Mel Tormé, a singer called "The Velvet Fog" a composer who wrote the music and co-wrote the words to "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Flame), and later abandoned the sappy velvet fog ballads for some quite impressive jazz singing including some decent scatting. While searching for versions of the Gershwin Brothers' "Fascinating Rhythm" we came across this clip from an old TV show (back when the world was in black & white instead of color. The performance is very, very old school (corny by today's standards), done very well for that genre, and what surprised me is Mel was a very good drummer. He uses the preferable 'military grip' to hold the drum sticks, has great control, and plays some nice licks too. I enjoyed it and hope some of you will too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
