Normally play it slower & more wistfully but got to leave in 5 min to go to playing engagement. Slow tunes can make people drowsy :P Lyrics: Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the ground, You in mid-air. Send in the clowns. Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around, One who can't move. Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns. Just when I'd stopped opening doors, Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours, Making my entrance again with my usual flair, Sure of my lines, No one is there. Don't you love farce? My fault I fear. I thought that you'd want what I want. Sorry, my dear. But where are the clowns? Quick, send in the clowns. Don't bother, they're here. Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer, Losing my timing this late In my career? And where are the clowns? There ought to be ... |

~ MacArthur Park Jimmy Webb
Views: 91168 |  |  |  |  | "MacArthur Park" is a song written by Jimmy Webb. Originally written as part of an intended cantata rejected by The Association,it was first recorded by Richard Harris in 1968 and then covered by many other performers. One of the best known covers of the ...More song is the Donna Summer disco 1978 hit. Maynard Ferguson performed a dynamic big band jazz version. The song is named after MacArthur Park, a park in Los Angeles, California. Its lyrics, which include the memorable line "Someone left the cake out in the rain", are more symbolic than descriptive, beginning as a poem about love, then moving into a lover's lament. Harris recording The song was first recorded by Harris on his album A Tramp Shining in 1968 and was released as a single. It was an unusual single, running for more than seven minutes, with a long, climactic orchestral break. Harris's topped the music charts in Europe and peaked at number two on the US charts. Harris sings the song's final chorus at an elevated pitch with what sounds like the top of Harris's falsetto range, but the final line is sung with an echo effect abruptly apparent and in a high and clear soprano whistle register. Throughout his recording Harris can be heard using the incorrect possessive form, "MacArthur's Park". Webb has said he tried correcting Harris during re-takes, but gave up when he simply could not sing the correct words. A multi-million selling disco version of the song by Donna Summer topped the US charts for three weeks in 1978 ... |

Views: 52401 |  |  |  |  | Walter Maynard Ferguson, best know for his extreme high register control on trumpet, was a Canadian jazz trumpet player and bandleader. Born in Verdun, Quebec (now part of Montreal) Maynard by the age of four was playing piano and violin but at 9 years of ...More age he switched to cornet. At age thirteen, Maynard first soloed as a child prodigy with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Orchestra and was heard frequently on the CBC, notably featured on a "Serenade for Trumpet in Jazz" written for him by Morris Davis. Maynard won a scholarship to the French Conservatory of Music where he studied from 1943 through 1948 with Bernard Baker. Maynard dropped out of Montreal High School at age 15 to more actively pursue a music career, performing in dance bands led by Stan Wood, Roland David, and Johnny Holmes. During this period, Maynard came to the attention of numerous American bandleaders and began receiving offers to come to the United States. Maynard moved to the United States in 1949 and initially played with the bands of Boyd Raeburn, Jimmy Dorsey, and Charlie Barnet. The Barnet band was notable for a trumpet section that also included Doc Severinsen, Ray Wetzel, Johnny Howell, and Rolf Erickson.

For better Piano sound just go to: vids.myspace.com I hope you enjoy. More info: Stella By Starlight is a jazz standard written by Victor Young and featured in The Uninvited, a 1944 Paramount film. Originally a theme song, it was turned over to Ned Washington, who wrote the lyrics for it in 1946. The title had to be incorporated into the lyrics, which resulted in its unusual placement: the phrase appears about three quarters into the song, not in the beginning or the end. [edit] Recording history Stella By Starlight is one of the most popular standards, ranked number 10 by the website jazzstandards.com. Its May 1947 recording by Harry James and his orchestra reached the 21st place in the pop charts. Two month later, the recording by Frank Sinatra with Axel Stordahl and his orchestra also rose to the 21st position. Charlie Parker playing tenor saxophone made the first jazz recording of the song in January 1952, which was shortly followed by another tenor sax version by Stan Getz (December 1952), a piano version by Bud Powell, and a rendition by the big band of Stan Kenton. Instrumental versions were played by Miles Davis and ... |

~ Imaginary Landscape No. 5 (1952) by John Cage
Views: 64930 |  |  |  |  | Imaginary Landscape No. 5 (1952) was John Cage's first work for magnetic tape, employing "chance" procedures in a pre-determined fashion using block-graph notation. Each block on the score equals three inches of tape, equivalent to one-fifth of a second. ...More There are a total of eight simultaneous tracks made from any forty-two phonograph records. Duration and amplitude (volume) are notated for each of the forty-two records, but there is no indication of what the records should be. It is the performer of the score, rather than the composer, who finally determines what the content will be. The only basic contribution that Cage provides is how the records are to be used. The finished tape is a fixed and unalterable object. Originally, Cage wrote Imaginary Landscape No. 5 to accompany a choreographed dance called "Portrait of a Lady" by Jean Erdman, an influential figure in the world of modern dance. He used jazz records that Ms. Erdman used in her studio for jazz improvisation dance exercises (however, as stated before, the score can be realized with any forty-two records, not necessarily 1940's jazz). Cage's compositional process was based on the I-Ching, a Chinese symbol system designed to identify order in what seem like chance events. The philosophy centers on the ideas of the dynamic balance of opposites, the evolution of events as process, and acceptance of the inevitability of change. In an attempt to update the format of this composition for modern day, I used ... |
