Five Ladies of Jazz
This year alone, the ladies are dominating the jazz vocals. Here are the five albums that are heavily rotating on my iTunes:
Madeleine Peyroux’s Bare Bones
Tierney Sutton’s Desire
Melody Gardot’s My One and Only Thrill
Diana Krall’s Quiet Nights
Jane Monheit’s The Lovers, The Dreamers and Me
Hi Donny,
Is there something that you could recommend for us to use when we play the slide-show on the big day?
Thank you,
Hi Tram,
It got to be John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman’s “My One and Only Love.” This tune sets my soul on fire every time.
I’ve been digging Johnny Hartman’s “How Sweet It Is to Be in Love” as well. It’s sweet and romantic and I like the little uptempo as well.
Hoặc “Hương Xưa” của Cung Tiến! Ngọt ngào lắm!
Tu Cong Phung’s “Mua Xuan Tren Dinh Yen Binh”…A little Zen flavor to love..
Hay là “Họa Dưới Mông” của Phạm Đình Chương.
Try Chris Botti’s version:

That’s a nice rendition from Chris Botti, but the classic is still unmatchable.
“Dance me to the end of love,” M. Peyroux?
(BTW, are you guys going to Peyroux’s show at Lisner’s, on 6/20? If yes, we’ll see you there.)
Wow, I was going to ask you about it. Who are we?
How about “I’ll survive”?
“We” = my friend Becky and me… :o)
(I think you met Becky, right? At QVNV?)
I think I had met Becky. Dana is hesitating because we already ask Duke’s grandma to watch him today for the Dave Brubeck concert. Not sure if it’s alright to ask again next week. I really want to see Maddy though.
As a GW employee, you’d get tickets for half of what I have to pay…
(Hmmm, lemme see what other carrots I can throw your way… :o) )
My best to D&D, please!
I just called the box office and the girl said adult ticket only, no discount for employee. I don’t think that’s right.b Did you buy the tickets? I can go to Lisner and find out.
Yeah, already got the tickets.
My mistake, Doanh, re. employee discounts:

Reading it again, it does say “GW students and alumni” only. Know any GW student? :o)
Don’t know what “adult ticket” means…
Donny and all,
Greatly appreciated :)
Have a good day!
Tram
