For Sunday night, jazzlover is going to take you on a little whirlwind tour with some Latin jazz and songs about exotic places.

We start with the beautiful "Bali Hai" from South Pacific, sung here by Stacey Kent.

We'll wrap with two "two-fers" tonight. First, "Frenesi," as recorded by Artie Shaw, followed by the half-century later version by Linda Ronstadt.

.. as the trumpet flows into the big bedroom...
we begin the tale... our first date... our first date...
we all agree will be with...

That Dreamboat... sighs Elanor...
... That Real Romantic Guy... breathes Ginger...
...we all croon together... Mr. JazzLover...

Sally begins....I had on my new green and purple
vest and my very best hair pin and he said
something...you know like in that voice he used
two weeks ago remember... when he said my
intials... the S sound like my secret name...
like sensuous...

.. we sit enraptured.. holding and squeezing each
others hands tight...

she continues... when that horn goes up big,
like that... my hair kinda blew... hear that horn
right there...like right there... he reached out
and adjusted the flyaway part..

KKay snarls... He did what?
Mabel shushes us.. don't mess with the atmosphere!

... hear the strings....those aren't horms
that's the emotion we had when the moon was rising
over my shoulder..Sally says... He was so captivated
cause I seemed so beautiful.... his eyes... the
way they look... he stepped closer...

wait a minute, interrupts Millie, how did his eyes
look?

....imagine... there I was leaning against the
tree and you know the wind was kinda blowing..hear
how that horn goes with the cymbals...the
orchestra was inside and we were out in the
dark...

of course you were in the dark! you were outside!
Kkay blurts...

well who is telling this tale anyway?

My turn announces Ginger...hear that trumpet...
that's him looking up laughing... he sounds just
like that.... ahh ha ha....oooohh hear how it
pierces...oh shoot the music has gone out..

Mr. JazzLover introduces...

Sally keeps recalling... it's when he kinda moves to
the music...he was reaching... I was leaning even
more against the tree...

my turn my turn interrupts Ginger...I was leaning
on the balcony cause the music is in the next
room..

Millie insists...it was too loud to talk... we just
smiled...course he came real close to me...I just
looked down...he had the most beautiful buttons in
the world

buttons! okay you can't tell a story...lets go
back to Sally who was at the tree

wait a minute says Ginger... I want to be up like
romeo and juliet

Mr.JazzLover's voice thrills us ...introducing...


Mabel muses...thats's the emotion we had when the
moon was rising over my shoulder... He was so
captivated cause I seemed so beautiful.... his
eyes... the way they look... he stepped closer...

wait a minute, interrupts Sally, how did his eyes
look?

When I tell my part says KKay.. I want to be
holding my boyfriend... reaching for a pillow...
oh yes we should all be holding our pillow
boyfriends.... to refresh our memories...all
nod..

Hey! that's my boyfriend Ginger..grabbing the
pillow and holding it tightly...
Millie sways to the strings... thats us! that's
like walking when the bubbles come up...

that's Lawerence Welk silly, thats not really
jazz...

I tell...we were outside and he thought I looked
so lovely...my fingers kinda brushed through my
hair...he came close and he kinda smiled..

my turn! insists KKay.. he came close and he put a
hand in his pocket...

which pocket?

oh! hmm... oh right hand in a pocket
he looked, you know,KKay says.. he kinda looked
like a bad boy...like James Dean..

stop it! you don't interrupt anyone's story
complains Sally...

Unpreturbed KKay continues...nobody knows...nobody
knows what happens when his hand was in his
pocket... it kinda went into the side

Mr. JazzLover's smooth voice cuts in ....

Default Andalusian Dreams ...

Flamenco Arte y Fuente
-1ª programa antonio canales

YouTube - Flamenco Arte y Fuente -1ª programa antonio canales - 4/4

:: we sit at a show much like tis one but I
nay see it.. for My show tis thee... past days
remembrances tumble with the changing
stage lights... ::

... the power of thy joyful beauty...
... the mysterious affect such exerts o'er Me...

...in these lands... thy skin tis different...
in this sunlight.. or beneath Andalusian
moonlight....

thy hair a special sheen of highlights... thy lips
fuller and softer... thy eyes... brighter and
full of cheer...

we sit... and dare I hold breath at such
emotions pure and rich...

ah love! Desire can take Me into her arms
if those arms promise to lead
Me forever to thee!...

I think this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Wish I had a copy of the sound track from the movie Dancing At The Blue Iguana but they never released it, it was the best recording so far.
