    I normally HATE jazz singers, but this chick is great! She has an amazing voice.

      +Captin Funk The reason you like this is because she is NOT singing it in a Jazz style whatsoever. A pop style, yes, but Jazz? No. The band is playing it in a stride tin pan alley fashion which in terms of instrumentation and most certainly the piano solo is early Jazz style, but more "pop of the day" formula of those 30's songs that sound much like this. Thus the tin pan alley comment..However the vocalist is singing in a straight up pop style and vocal style as well. Tho she is good. This treatment doesn't feel like much. But hey, she young, she has time to learn her craft. She has some nice skills to build upon already.

      Essentially has a harmony and the “feel” of a traditional jazzy christmas carol. Its basically in the genre and speed they decided to go with for this rendition. Still a banger tho.

    Come with me, and you'll be
    In a world of pure imagination
    Take a look and you'll see
    Into your imagination
    We'll begin, with a spin
    Traveling in a world of my creation
    What we'll see will defy explanation
    And if you want to view paradise
    Simply look around and view it
    Anything you want to, do it
    Want to change the world?
    There's nothing to it
    There is no life I know
    To compare with pure imagination
    Living there, you'll be free
    If you truly wish to be
    And if you want to view paradise
    Simply look around and view it
    Anything you want to, do it
    Want to change the world?
    There's nothing to it
    There is no life I know
    To compare with pure imagination
    Living there, you'll be free
    If you truly wish to be

    I live this cover cause it's not like others much. Others find it pure and sadly like. This is more jazzy and classy, it has a tint of nostalgia and kid tones that I love. Now I miss the past, this cover is so nice

    Was it really necessary to have piano and guitar comping so much, in the same range, at the same time?

    • @itmsjim
      @itmsjim 3 роки тому

      Being there was no drummer, it worked fine. However, as with Oscar Peterson or Nat King Cole (p/g/b trios), the pianist should have filled more and let the guitarist do his thing. With that said, it worked. Plus, this was 6 years ago, so.....

    I wish there could be a way to change songs with great emotion, into songs performed with emotion period.
    Here we have a peppy song, well played, and sung, no doubt.
    Great musicians.
    And I felt nothing.
