Lazy Afternoon |
Never enough music like this, dear reader. We hope, whilst reading about some truly outstanding women in air cargo like this mother/daughter dynamo in Florida, you will plug in or amp up or top it all off with this brief encounter that includes some truly outstanding ladies of song. For us it’s a share thing. Maybe you never heard of Mabel Mercer. But after you hear this lady deliver “Ace In The Hole,” you might never forget her. I’ve always liked Doris Day, who, sorry to report, died recently. Her pop hit “Guy Is A Guy,” always sounds like summer. Doris, also here, with the Andre Previn Trio delivers “Close Your Eyes,” to perfection. Andre, who also passed recently, went on to a very successful career in classical music, where he wrote operas and concertos, in addition to conducting The London Symphony. Have always loved “Lazy Afternoon,” our title tune here. First heard Kaye Ballard deliver this great song in “The Golden Apple,” a now mostly forgotten Broadway play from the mid 1950s. But the show stopper is Shirley Horn, who unlocks a vocal reading like melting butter, that could only be a song of summer. Sarah Vaughan (Sassy) delivers “Make Yourself Comfortable,” as only Sassy could and did! Lena Horne’s “Stormy Weather,” and the incomparable Nancy Wilson’s “Nearness of You,” round out a musical tour-de force for an early August Musicale. Geoffrey |
