SLIM WHITMAN / HANK JONES : I REMEMBER YOU

Δυο από τις, όχι ακριβώς ευάριθμες, βερσιόν του jazz standard των Victor Schertzinger Johnny Mercer, με κοινό στοιχείο τους το θετικό vibe : ξεκινώντας με το φαλσέτο – πηγή ευφορίας του τραγουδιστή την country Slim Whitman (1966) περνάμε στο elegant swing και την ανεξάντλητη μελωδικότητα του Hank Jones (1977), από τους κορυφαίους jazz πιανίστες όλων των εποχών – ασχέτως του πόσο συχνά λέγεται αυτό το τελευταίο (όχι όσο θα ’πρεπε). 🟡 🟡 Two of the not exactly scarce versions of the jazz standard by Victor Schertzinger and Johnny Mercer, sharing a common positive vibe: starting with the falsetto — a source of euphoria — of the country singer Slim Whitman (1966), we move on to the elegant swing and inexhaustible melodiousness of Hank Jones (1977), one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time — regardless of how often this last point is stated (not as often as it should be).

I remember you
You’re the one that made my dreams come true
Just a few kisses ago
I remember you
You’re the one who said I love you too
Yes I do
Didn’t you know
I remember too, a distant bell
And stars that fell, like the rain
Out of the blue
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all
Then I will tell them I remember
Tell them I remember
Tell them I remember you
I remember too, a distant bell
And stars that fell, like the rain
Out of the blue
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all
Then I will tell them I remember
Tell them I remember
Tell them I remember you…
