Well, how about some "back then" and "much later" performances from some artists who enjoyed long and productive careers?

Back in 1951, there was a young kid playing trumpet in Stan Kenton's band, playing the high stuff here:

Stan Kenton – Intermission Riff – Listen free and discover music at Last.fm


Nearly four decades later, he had been leading his own band for years--with many players young enough to be his kids (or grandkids). He was still leading the pack, though.

Maynard Ferguson – La Fiesta – Listen free and discover music at Last.fm


Yep, Maynard Ferguson. This guy was fun to listen to on recording, but was really a gas in person--a really decent guy who I had the pleasure to meet at a small concert venue.

Then there was a guy who cut his musical teeth playing in the Count Basie big band in the Big Band Era. He later went on to lead his own band and pen some tunes made popular by others. One of those here, Viva Tirado, by El Chicano, from 1970:

Then this, penned as a tribute to Spanish bullfighters:

Gerald Wilson Orchestra – Lomelin – Listen free and discover music at Last.fm

Gerald Wilson. I wonder how many people have even heard of him.

Or, how about a guy who penned a tune for his band years earlier that later made Carlos Santana a household word in rock 'n' roll?

Enigma - Sadeness Part 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTJVIXjxVvA


last glimpse as night star...
hunts scents left by waning moon...
soft flares pulse moon's trails...
under earth's rounded belly...
star fire rises... bubble sweetness
pulse deep edge ripples...

sky moan-whispers... live thru dark days
live thru a swooning kiss of nite's desire...
twist thy long arc as body slides...
turn deep in clay's warm covering...
rolling pulse felt deep... in Want's
earthiness...

Strong back arches...
entrancing mists enfolds... spine flexes
...then arch again 'gainst Desire's sky...
...Clay-flesh defines... calling forth
scent's deeper need... Scent rides
mist's currents...stirred by the
dance of a single tree...

pushes to knees...
an arm brought up lifting
palm open... moist... draws curve
skin tastes scent ... mouth opens...
sucks Desire's perfume... secures
loincloth tight... thighs tensely lifts
soul into nite's hotness...

Enigma - Sadeness Part 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTJVIXjxVvA

owl hooting turns feet ahead...
breeze heavy with humid want...
roll toes slowly... whispers...
baby... send scent now...

moccasins like bloodhounds...
nosing every drifting billow...
taking now a life of it's own...
begins a hunt for scented prey...

muffled footfalls... rushes to mist's
embrace... parts... Desire's supple
beckonings... exposes Need's swollen
softness... moccasins taps faster a
quicken approach...
mist cling in greedy grimace...
swirl with fingers ... trailing belly...
slides... disperse... in millions of
droplets...


Dancers crouch on prairie's edge
shaded drums begin
hips lift, sway thrusting ancient rhythm
smothering pathway... side to side
knees spread, bend... desire kisses mist...
clinging strands tug, pulling

quick scrabble of soft paws...
a hunter's meal hides...

flame kindles deepening star...
sky sharp silhouette, then path unseen
owl carries air's weight...
flapping wings deepens mist kiss

pungent need calls scent strong...
sending spirals of need spinning...

fiery embers quiver gentle explosions...
not to satisfy... but to kindle Need's joy...
strong leg reaches arching length
pulsing from toes' rhythm beat...

David Bowie - Wild Is The Wind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90u1IV4dw8o


glancing fire of brush clinging
revolve in deep twist flow as
magic pulse... stings thorns rip
cloth, release... sense reaching
there is only dark tis night...
sudden crash of dry branch breaking
larger animal stirs...

panting weighs heavy in aire
echoes 'gainst blacken mountain sides
'long the walls of hidden canyons...
hot breath pantings tugs crevices..
drifts deep in valley's swaying grasses...

Enigma - Sadeness Part 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTJVIXjxVvA


fox yips from hill
silence falls as a blanket
whispers... nite grows blacker still
baby... feel dew tenderest touch
as scent is carried on mist's back..
spill pleasure as food for birds
M'love....feed deep the crickets too...
for they shall sing most deeply Sacred
passage to thee...

crouches... listens...
scent streams with pine winds
strong force turns Need's ache to follow
flame fills blood ... sweet surging
heat claims ragged breath...
gathering surety...
remembering the way...

dancers step fast.. arms lifted,
fingers delicate curls... tiny bells ring...
belly swells... soft swift trembling
drum tabla softens ...
flute's breath leads bending...
drifts 'cross circling hips ...

lowering torso over bended knee
nostrils flare ... heartbeat strong
mists sing tongue's calls... a small
detour... moccasins drums a dancer's
step... human voices trail behind...

senses an early climb ahead... thighs
ready... a sudden quick pump..
hands poised ahead... leaps...
presses tight the climb... flood of
heat flashes up steeper hill... mists
race in circles pulling... strengthen
the path girl! Now! flow Me to thee!

a final grip-tug of roots...
hoists knee over grassy ledge...
pressing roll... ends in a straddled crouch..
deep sucking breath of aire...
eyes wild in head jerking sniff...
black nite hovers in deep silence...

spreads open hands... caresses with palms...
swaying grasses... soft slow circular rolling
touch... fingertips comes together...
light pull on grasses tips... flattens hands...
trails grasses shape... sniffing mists trap
'tween blades...licks fingers.... ahhhh...
straight ahead...

rises... know road is nearby...
listens to footfalls... feels grasses slide over
calves... thighs... loins.. back to thighs...
stop and crouch... dew licking lower back...
soft flame ignites deep in lower belly...

whispers... soon my pet... soon... wait now
no further yet... slowly deepen stillness baby...

Tribal drums beat solid... moccasins find road
crossing in fog unseen... pace expands...
flames ignite chest ... sweeps low...

trailing hands trace 'tween lined
sentinels trees... slightly disoriented...
had to come another way.... waits for wind...
waits to secure the right angle ... winds whisper
gains power... scent swelling aire with call...
straight ahead... that's it girl...bring Me through!
steep clambering ...
roots grab, become anchors pulling...
scramble to top...
turns in all directions,
swollen need silently cries...
hands reach out as if palms can see...

moon pulses final moments of dark
feet sense thru earth's molten core...
fragrance reaches as sound
heart fills in fiery response
ecstatic surge as hot breath...
caresses...

leaping deep into friend-oak
cat stretching crouch...
velvety darkness drags along swollen want...
purr of scent at temple
licks tween shoulders
flattens onto solid branch...

clinging need cries into deep night...
Desire surges...slips thru yearning..
cooing gentle... soft prodding strong...
more waiting needed... breeze moans...
whispers... ve' good darlin... beautiful!
such blossoming.. sacred quivering
trembles smooth petals... such need for
want of dark moon's love!

Need's shuddering grip pulls torso
forward... enfolding...

Dancers floods prairie...
bells shaking feet pound
spinning, blend rich colors...
soft yipping, hips swell, lift
love's moisture fills aire...

arms outstretch to fragrant glass
darkness glints, barrier dissolves...
bright heat erupts... eyes pierce thru...
heartbeat of desire pounding...
winds of love tumble
pine calls pure...

Moon sees Venus rounding belly
... opens herself to human hearts...
humans offer chants of season...

mounting wind-kiss whisper...
come sure baby...speeding pulse
...presses... from pillow...

We are called to sacred duty..
to fly deep in night's embrace...
light now comes... from Holy need!
Venus comes... in 8 days time...
each thrust comes... an hour's foretelling...
Our thighs shall sing... her future arrival...
our moans shall herald ...her Morning star...
deep within moves... a Morning Star...

...light catches the trickling river..
song of water dropping across rocks deeper into
pools...
soft splashes where river bends round a curve...

...feet happy wiggling in stream ... smiling deep
inside memories ...rivers have been loved ..deep
friendships with trees...gardens, flourished...
paths have been blessed...

... wishes spin round heart ...dipping copper pail
in deep pool ... watch the swirl of water as it
fills ... clear cool refreshement ... feet find
way back to shore ...

slipping into beaded moccasins.. tread softly up
the path to the campfire ... smelling the soft
smoke and the ever present coffee aroma...
...bends to place pail ledged between rocks...
selects small dry branches for fire ... stirring
embers to support cooking bed ... flames leap and
crackle...nods thanks to fire keepers of spirit...

...peeks over to Sir MMC who sleeps still in brilliant
green covering ...releases deep breath in harmony
with His dreaming breath...

.. softly smiles to deep inner self... who would
have thought such joy could be had in giving a
restful nap... twould have seemed unbelieveable to
this one at a younger age .. twould have seemed so
tame a recreation ... smoothly smothers giggle
trying to burst forth ...

scolds inwardly ... Nay do Nay disturb such a Man
in slumber... knowing full well how little rest He
allows...tenderly tiptoes near Him to arrange blue
edges of blanket closer round His shoulder...
nods in satisfaction...

Well, in a more mellow kind of mood tonight.


YouTube - Doris Day -- The Lamp Is Low

Doris Day at her best, with a great orchestral arrangement--check out the strings "comping" Doris after the bridge. People may argue forever about whether she was mostly a pop singer, cabaret singer, jazz singer, or movie singer--no matter, she had just one great voice. Darned good looking, too, especially in middle age.

Next, Sarah Vaughan singing "Key Largo." Note--only accompanied by bass and guitar. I think I've posted this one before, but it's worth repeating. One great singer at the top of her game, vocally "letting it all hang out" with no mixing tricks or elaborate instrumental backing. Don't try this at home without a safety net.

Sarah Vaughan – Key Largo – Listen free and discover music at Last.fm

Here's another great voice singing a great song. Bandleader and singer Billie Eckstine. "Temptation"--not to be confused with a later song with the same name. Billy Eckstine is not well known today, but was "a force" in the 1940's, having such notables at Sarah Vaughan, Dizzie Gillespie, and Charlie Parker as members of his band during those years.

And, how about being out on the dance floor with the prettiest gal around with the orchestra playing this one just for you:

Well, we can dream, can't we?

If that doesn't work out--well, she can sing along with this one:

time crashes!...
shock
old man with my eyes...
stands in front of me!

eyes reflecting black skies...
gestures ... suddenly arms pinned...
thighs grabbed... lifted...
walking pushing carried rough..
touched... stripped naked...

faint embers... flicker...
flap thrown up... muffled thud...
leather scent... sage smoke enfolding
heat bursts... rolling invisible waves
batter... thrust down .. kneeling

fire chief signals... men leave
closing flap behind... other initiates
wait... chanting low voices...
drum sounds heart... earth
pulse thrums...

filtering eyes discern embers ...
glimmer deep...
fragrant grasses alight...
flames leap... casting looming
shadows...sweet smoke roils...
curling 'round skin...
dripping flames fall back ...

heat rushes... flap thrown open
white buckskin cloaked stranger...
circle chants... deeper song
drums pace... a low throb...

bent low... fire chief moves...
lifts gourd in silent offering...
cupped hands accept water...
fling onto smoldering rocks...
steam rises a universe

rich clinging air burns lungs...
skin weeps sweat... heart thunders
steam's moist knife attacks...
invades pouring lava ...
Chief sends second cup...
waves liquefy...

rocks explode into lodge..
many jump... lifting feet from
burning sand floor...
hopping releases stinging sweat...
drops sizzle hitting rock beds...

drums furious... rhythms pound
chanting... crescendo.. yelp...
silence...

breathing... ragged among all...
heartbeat drumming...
white-cloaked stranger... motions
rattles shake... time stretches...
drinks... turns... Spit-Sprays Me..

^^^ dream state ^^^

falling and caught by gentle hands
lifted
fragrant herbs burning
smoke fills heart
passing over and under, side to side

black night calls
drumming heart
night's mystery a dim red star
fire brother!

bundled by fire heat
lifting... sweat lodge dissolves
float... feathery light
translucent... swaying visions

night is deep ebony
distant howl of one
answered by pack in communion

stranger's fingers flutter
fire obeys... stretching
fire leaps along tips of trees
flames run down canyon
leading the way

carried by unseen winds
licking fire's skin as an arrow
careening
air bound soul follows flame
cleared path sucks cooling moisture
thru curving turns

crossing grasslands fire freezes cold
flickering flames taste night
along grasses ripening seed


pack lift heads into dark...
red star dips low
sky turns
moon is silent deep beneath the earth
Venus is sunken in sleep...
wolf cries sing

heart bursts as abode comes in sight
fire has no champion such as I!
miraculous race

eyes look deeply
old man's features cross stranger's face
ancient chant is heard from hills
We are one in Love's journey!

Stand transfixed... soul joins climb
into deepest night's sky...
expanded senses call
Love echoes...

floating sensation
feet travel silently through doorway of abode
astral eyes blink
reassuring safety of form still in lodge

her room brightly lit
floating feet... up stairway
her room ... blazing light pouring
soft pastels washing in radiance
her sound... low voices

hidden in recess of shelving...
the only shade 'long hallway...
listening...

murmurs rise and fall...
her father's voice ... solid drum...
mother's... a song... darlings voice...
as from angelic realms... lifts ...
feel self dissolve ... into the lilt of her voice

inward caution
stay still here

Father speaking... Well now seems a
reasonable time for decisions...
Staff here is changing...
House sisters are shifting ...
some to their marriage home...
others to school... cloister...
or other arrangements...

what say thee daughter
what is life's lesson taught

soft voice as a lullaby and a
fiery claim... Datt with this moon...
am choosin to return to foster in village...
to be connected to foster family's hearth
and also to be more free...

father stern freedom is nay all daughter

soft reassurances...
Datt with this moon shall seek
guardian among women only...

Mother speaks - voice steady 'tween her loves
tis the Aries moon, Dear
tis the time of earth's beginnings
spring shall bloom soon and so should some
freedoms be allowed

cellie - a guardian shall be my next goal!
promising thus... body bends in respect...

Father's breath snorts ... gives in...
knows when task is too large...

very well
this shall be done by degree and must
have authority and approval of our
home and her business mentor of
the world also...
