Evening Music
I love some good jazz to grade papers to. Often some Thelonious Monk or some Miles Davis provides me with enough substance in my music to kee my attention, without completely distracting me from the loads of papers sitting in front of me.
Today, I finally got in my soundtrack to Good Night and Good Luck, a movie I simply adored . While I had heard the name Dianne Reeves before, I had never been exposed to her voice prior to the movie. Yet, she kept demanding my attention during the interludes in the movie where the side band played. Now I remember why.
Wow! If you want to get someone hooked on this style of jazz from the 1950's, this is the right place to start. The Cd is amazing from start to finish and her voice just ressonates in my head. I'm not one to rant about new CD's, but check it out if you are interested in the Ella Fitzgerald style of jazz sound. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
