Carmen Mcrae A Memorable Songbook 絶頂期の1954年から1960年、Decca, Kappに録音されシングル盤として発表した、今までLPには収録されたことをない貴重なと言うか、入手困難、入手不可能な25曲を集大成した豪華な2枚組のGatefoldコンピレーション盤！ 8Pのライナー&解説が接着製本。#MCARecords レーベル(MCA-3136,3137)、ビクターからの日本盤。1954年10月8日, 1955年11月3日,12月16日,1956年5月4日,1957年3月5日,1958年3月5日,7月18日,1959年1月5日,6月29日,1960年2月8日録音。 ディスクユニオンのレシートにはCarmen Mcrae & George Shearingと表記、大間違い。♀ボーカルコレクションNo. 72。 そして本盤は、｢学校法人尚美学園図書館蔵書J106～107｣のステッカーと貸出カード。流通していい？ そんな心配より、真っ先にお伝えしたいのは音質。クリアで大変素晴らしい！Monoとは絶対に思えない最高レベルの分解能でとても快適。録音日はまちまちですが、よく統一されたマスタリングです。 カートリッジは、円やかに情緒豊かに包まれたいならShure SC35C。よりシャープにクリアに彼女らしいヴォーカルを味わいたいならTonar Banana。Grado MC+ MONOは、最もナチュラルで聴きやすいバランス、細かい音の再現性にも優れていますので、これがお薦め。 ｢エラ、サラ、カーメン｣と言われ、大橋巨泉さんはエラ、サラは｢スキャット巧者｣、カーメンを｢崩し派ジャズ歌手｣と表現。 ちなみに、ジャズ・ヴォーカルというジャンルを創設したとされる歴史的トランペッター、ルイ・アームストロングが｢歌詞の書いてある楽譜を落とした｣という｢言い訳｣で、即興的に｢ウヴィダヴァ｣と始めたのが｢スキャット・ヴォーカル｣の始まりらしい。 カーメン・マクレエは1922年(大正11年)ニューヨークの北部ハーレム地区に、ジャマイカ移民の両親の子供として誕生。1944年に初めはベニー・カーター楽団のピアニストとしてジャズ界デビュー。その後カウント・ベイシー楽団のピアニスト兼シンガーとして歌手活動を開始、1946年にビ・バップ・ドラムの開祖である名ドラマー、ケニー・クラークと結婚(1955年に離婚)して一時期家庭に。1953年にようやく歌手としてレコード・デビュー、すでに31歳。1954(?)年Decca、1958年MCA傘下のKappの専属として1959年まで150曲を越える吹き込みを。この初期のものは傑作の声が高く、数々のLPがありますが、吹き込み当時シングル盤ないしEP盤として発売されたものでLP化されていない曲がかなり残されていて、カーメンの歌に対する関心、再評価が高まっているファンの間で何とかLPで聴けないものか、と熱望。調べてみれば25曲もありLP2枚分、それが本作となってお目見えすることになったと。 カーメンの最初のDeccaセッションはイエブセンのディスコグラフィーでは録音日が明記されていないそうですが、アメリカから送ってきたデータでは1954年10月8日の4曲、"They All Laughed" "Keep Me In Mind""OOH""If I'm Lucky"、このうち最初の曲だけがLP"Blue Moon"���収録されており、残りの3曲が未LP化。疑問は、彼女のBethlehemからDeccaへの移籍は1955年となっていますが、この契約が正しいならこの4曲はDeccaの契約時期か平行してのリハーサル・セッションだったのかも知れないと。また、マイルス・デイヴィスのPrestigeからColumbiaへの移籍にも似ていると。Decca移籍第一作は1955年6月14日録音の"By Special Request"なので、宣伝用として録音されたセッションかも知れないとも。 楽曲は、ジャズにとらわれず、ポップスの新曲やミュージカル・ナンバーなど彼女のヴォーカルの上手さと柔軟性、表現力が味わえます。｢カーメンに凡作なし｣の定説を証明しているとは、野口久光氏のライナー評。 天性のモダンなフィーリング、やや金属的な響きの声、黒人臭さのない明快さ、まさに絶頂期の彼女が見事に目の前に姿を表す幻の名唱アルバムと言えそうです。 #CarmenMcRae #jazz #fuzey #vinyl #jazzvinyl #vinylcollection #jazzvocal #ジャズシンガー #ジャズ #スイングジャーナル #レコード *作品を知るとジャズはもっと輝きます。情報くださる先輩諸氏に感謝。 https://www.instagram.com/p/ClIVzIuPjAL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MONDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO—“Sad Simon Lives Again” 55th Anniversary Version:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2N9fZs0Nbo  ...This was the first single by Tim Andrews a.k.a. Chris Andrews after he cut loose from Fleur de Lys in 1967. He was signed by renowned producer, promoter, and music executive Tony Hall, who’d plugged The Beatles, Carmen McRae, and later inked Black Sabbath’s first record deal. “Sad Simon” was tailored for Tim’s voice by songwriter Mike Noble (who went on to work with Joan Armatrading, John Kongos, and Ralph McTell). It’s a bittersweet song about waiting for love, but Simon is going to rebound. The single didn’t chart when Parlophone issued it in December 1967, but it was a solid debut and it eventually found an audience with fans of the “baroque/chamber pop” subgenre —when classical music forms and instrumentation are integrated with psychedelic rock, championed by The Beach Boys, Beatles, Bee Gees, Left Banke, Moody Blues, Procol Harum, etc.—though the jazzy bridge comes out of the Zombies playbook. 

If this is your introduction to Chris Andrews, he’s a British singer-songwriter and recording artist whose songs have been covered by Roger Daltrey, David Essex, and Davy Jones (Monkees). Under the name Tim Andrews he was a champion of late 60s psychedelic pop and (later), as Kris Ryder, he released New Wave synthpop sides in the 80s, and he’s still cranking out new music to the world.

#YouTookAdvantageOfMe 🛰️ #RealGenius Made an attempt at this, it's more about the song sung by #CarnenMcRae and the movie Real Genius with #ValKilmer and #GabrielJarret 🖥️ Back before finishing High School I got into #Willow and from Val's character Madmartigan... Kendo. Then, as a creative nerd, programmed a WillowII game on Turbo Pascal watching either Willow or this one over and over. I don't know if it's still around but it was a fun project and proud of it when it was done back in 91. ⚔️ ADHD for yah.
