Hows about a bit of you tube music? Post your favs.

This recording from the European Jazz channel with one of my favorite singers, Carmen Gomes, shows her and her band doing a daring reworking of my ''Baby Just Cares for Me''.
It is so great to see the extreme pleasure these musicians are having while playing, all love and smiles and what a great groove!


This quote From Rad Bennett's review of her hi-res download ''Thousand Shades of Blue'' also rings true here.

There are some standards on the set that knocked me over with their fresh approach. Any singer can misplace a few accents and rhythms and come up with something that's original, but perhaps also uneasy and a little strange. Not Gomes, who has taken the songs to their bones and then restructured them to suit her style. Thus "Fever" doesn't sound like a cover of Peggy Lee; it sounds like a brand new take on a familiar song. You emerge from hearing it not thinking it's better or lesser than Lee's version, but that it's a valid new interpretation that could have come first.
