A lovely bit of jazz

Interesting, but yes I do find it a bit contrived. The voice over remends me of THE ADVENTURES OF NOGGIN THE NOG. Went to a clients funeral a couple of years ago. They played Stairway to Heaven. Unfortunately the last time I had heard it played was the Rolf Harris version. Rather spoilt the moment.

Hi Gord,
I always enjoyed Dankworth - he had something different to whatever else was going on in British jazz at the time; (but yes, corny describes it).

I was very touched to read that Ben Webster was crying just before the next set, because he had just learnt of the death of Johnny Hodges.

Notice the lovely sound of my favourite piano player (Teddy Wilson)
Now here's Johnny.

Lovely selection John. Unfortunately I fell in love with the voice of Dionne Warwick listening to her on Caroline late at night. Walk on By and You'll Never Get to Heaven were the two other favourites.

Hi teddy,
I dont think anyone who shares our type of "general" or as I call it "classic pop" music as well as Jazz who does not agree that Dianne Warwick was a top rate singer.
However in this thread I was trying to establish jazz pleasure moments, (and I dont think that Dianne qualifies - Does She? - am I missing something here?)
Please let me know.

Cheers John
