DVD _Count Basie - Live in Berlin & Stockholm 1968_ (Impro - IJ543) Marlena Shaw had the pipes, swing and swagger of a perfect big band singer. As good as it gets. Rest in peace! The song is ended, but the melody lingers on.
The C.B.orch. and her performance are both at their zenith. One complementing the other. Indeed, her delivery and tone are perfect for each other. Ms. Shaw and Ms. N.Wilson (RIP) are my all time faves. That orch. is the last of its kind (flawless).
Superb performance by Marlena, the Count and the best orchestra in the world. Just listen to Harold Jones tasteful drumming complete with perfect rimshots driving the band together with Freddie Green, guitar and Norman Keenan, bass!
RIP Marlena Shaw a beautiful performance!
Just absolute class ❤ RIP Marlena ❤️🙏
Sweet jeezus. Her phrasing, her delivery! Love Marlena. (And she's a duurty witch, to boot!)
