diana krall

first of all jazz is meant to be listened to live and not at home, second of all i adore people who feel music & don’t just sing music. third the smile on riki’s face tonight made me realize i too was smiling..that is the healing power of good music. words have no place because some feelings can’t be written down…
the concert was great, diana krall is a great pianist and i soulful singer and i love that you feel connected and that she tells you little stories before a song. the band: the drummer was amazing, the contrabass (?) guy was really funny and witty, the guitarist looked like eric clapton. on a different note (and don’t read this in a racist way because i am not) black people feel music differently and it is inspiring.
it was truly a great experience.
last but not least, some songs are never meant to be translated. Corocovado is meant to be sang in Portuguese. and…since diana’s version on Walk on by gave me the chills that is what i’ll share…

honey-bunny blues

“yes my dear, always call for your honey-bunny when in need, how cool was it to stand there in that huge crowd and hear that cute handsome man singing just for us? honey-bunny blues…*smile* “
Silver Church last night, lansare byron (am scris cu litera mica cum vor ei, mi-a zic Elena ca au avut probleme cu ziarele care scriau cu B ), in deschidere Persona care sunt foarte tari iar solistul este noua obsesie, si a mea si a Bananei , si in mijloc un lamer care credea ca face stand-up, asta e ei au vrut un eveiment fain si mare, au venit 2 trupe bune, byron putea sa mai cante inca 3 ore dar constructia clubului nu a ajutat deloc sonorizarii si trebuie sa spun ca a lasat de dorit. Cu toate acestea solo-ul lui Matesan s-a auzit perfect Bravo Matesan, parca aproape mi s-a facut dor de dat cu bete in perne prin casa: o patrime, sesime si una in cinel
In rest oameni cu care imi era dor sa stau, oameni care imi sunt familiari, oameni noi, toti faini, 2 scaune si o masa si multi oameni care au facut schimb pentru odihnit picioarele. Ce mi-a mai placut? Ca Adi si Elena erau asortati la bluze rosii, tricoul lui Adi (Start walking behind me, maybe we’ll start a parade), rochita lui Ivo (si faptul ca si ea avea rochita peste pantaloni) si rochita Mihaelei (mai ales ca era Miha ca o domnisoara, din anu 1 o aud ca vrea sa nu se mai imbrace junky), surioaora lui Adi, Ada Feli care este singurul om care pare sa-si fi ales perfect ochelarii de vedere (si pentru care mai tarziu in Barfly l-as fi pocnit eu personal pe enervantul care nu o lasa in pace)… Ce mi-a ramas in cap? my honey-bunny blues….
Am simtit si un zambet interior pentru ca imi dau seama ca desi m-am vazut cu Elena foarte rar lately de fiecare data cand ne intalnim putem sa just go on with a little catching up si ca poate poarta o bratarica de la mine, poate comand un mojito pt ca imi aduce aminte de ea, poate ca ne vine in minte acelasi concert interminabil Urma cu 8 bis-uri…it’s all there

nu reusesc sa gasesc un video mai bun, plus ca trebuie sa rezolv sa imi mearga altceva decat youtube..cine stie cum sa fac asta si de ce nu imi recunoaste alte embed texts..join in and help…Enjoy!
