over the next few days i think you are going to realise that a slight change in the groove @ ireallylovemusic<\/u> has occurred.<\/p>\n
gone is the love for electro’d up bangers, (surely the era of ‘landfill indie meets casiotone’ is ending ?), and instead it’s mad men<\/u> style cool meaning that vocal jazz albums from an era long gone that have been left unloved in a corner of the archive are getting a lot of airplay.<\/p>\n
so today’s treat, and trust me it is a genuine treat, comes from one of several albums that nancy wilson<\/strong> released in 1963 on capitol records<\/u>, hollywood : my way<\/font>, which followed a fairly typical style of the day : well known showtunes, songs from films, and a smattering of standards are given a smoky filled jazz backing all matched with spine tingling vocal perfection.<\/p>\n of course as most will be aware, wild is the wind <\/font>was given world wide attention years later by the thin white duke on his recently reissued station to station<\/font> album, so to hear the song in such a different context is very refreshing and wonderful, possibly even surpassing the excellence of bowie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n yes, it really is that good.<\/p>\n switch off the smartphone\/tv\/games console\/iron, settle down, and just soak this one up.<\/p>\n mp3<\/u> : nancy wilson – wild is the wind<\/a><\/p>\n
