Another delightful set livestreamed from the 606. Jackson sings well, connects with the audience and blows cool flugel.
A choice selection of tunes sung (and swung) made this an enjoyable hour and provided a refreshing alternative to the predominantly instrumental workouts of recent weeks - there's room for both.
Georgina has a liking for Sinatra songs which, for me gave her a head start. Where or When, always a great number, followed by The Lady is a Tramp, complete with verse. I've always wondered why today's singers don't update the lyrics to the old classics e.g. The verse could include "Alas I missed the Superbowl and what is quite as sad, I was never at a party where they honoured Joey Biden etc."
More Sinatra - and Rodgers & Hart - with I Didn't Know What Time it Was. Surprisingly, Georgina revealed that she'd only recently discovered this marvellous tune - made me feel very old!
Misty, played on flugel, - as cool a rendering of Garner's tune deserved and, indeed, got.
Frim-Fram Sauce. the world is still searching for this legendary recipe - chances are they may have already tasted it without knowing!
And so the goodies rolled out. Come Rain or Come Shine (a gorgeous vocal/piano duo number), What a Difference a Day Made (a là Dinah W), Do I Love You? (a là Peggy), Madelaine (a number by Bobby Shew that Jackson put words to), All of Me, All the Way and, to finish - Take the A Train.
An enjoyable set with some fine piano from Harvey, bass from Pettitt and drums from Home. - Lance
