I would not have thought of adding him to my music library if it wasn't for your efforts. Adding all of the above documentation is greatly appreciated; thanks again :-)Hit Paradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383392277072672981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207658960014112112.post-35939117839952116632021-11-29T17:24:57.427-08:002021-11-29T17:24:57.427-08:00Muchas graciasMuchas graciasDj Diego MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986503685127875071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207658960014112112.post-74811849256681604962021-11-29T05:24:24.077-08:002021-11-29T05:24:24.077-08:00For “Billy Strayhorn – Lush Life.

With Lush Life Retrospective celebrates the centenary of this relatively unsung jazz genius, who note-writer Digby Fairweather describes 'as one of jazz music's most prodigious yet obscured talents'. This unique collection is drawn solely from the Ellington-Strayhorn recorded canon (apart from the 'bonus extra' of Nat King Cole's interpretation of Lush Life), and covers every aspect of Strayhorn's work as both pianist and composer. All his favourite, often botanically-flavoured, numbers are here Passion Flower, Chelsea Bridge, Lotus Blossom, Raincheck, Johnny Come Lately etc. some from both the full Ellington orchestra and his own solo piano. In fact there are 14 tracks from this most famous of all jazz orchestras, plus 14 either solo performances or Strayhorn-Ellington duets, plus 15 more that spotlight the inimitable alto saxophone artistry of Billy's friend Johnny Hodges, who was the supreme interpreter of Strayhorn's poetic music.<br />boppinbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601283175278694153noreply@blogger.com
