Thanks, Rosie! That's All is such a beautiful song too. Here's a recent recording of me playing it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kF6yeZd-hLKBl7c

Merci beaucoup !

Merci, Zahra !

That's so very cool. I L-O-V-E your wordplay!

It's definitely one of Nat King Cole's signature tunes. I'm so glad you liked my version, Trev!

Thanks so much, Ron! I really appreciate your support!

Thanks!

Thanks, Zahra!

Merci beaucoup !

Those are great suggestions! I'm always keen for feedback, so I really appreciate you taking the time to provide those tips. Thanks!

@@jordanasmussen Thanks for being polite about my suggestions! You have a good heart!

Thanks, Nooks Crossing!

Thanks!

Great suggestion, GreentextHub! I'll add it to the list.

Thanks so much, Ron! I love that recording! I didn't realise it was conducted by Frank, though. How cool!

Thanks, Zahra!

Thank you!

Thanks, Greg!

Thanks, Trev!

Thanks so much, Rulosy Star!

Thanks!

Thanks, Zahra!

Thanks, Trev! I first heard this song on Sarah Vaughan's 1957 'At Mister Kelly's' album, and it quickly became one of my favourite tunes.

Thanks!

Thanks, Alfonso! And I agree 100%; there's something about hearing the song in its original language that can't be beat. I'm not yet game enough to try singing it in Spanish, but maybe one day I will!

Have you heard it played by Ahmad Jamal?

@@DownbeatThe Thanks for the recommendation! I hadn't heard him play Perfidia before (but I have listened to some of his other recordings). Very nice!

Merci beaucoup, Zahra !

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks so much, Zahra!

That's such a great question, MyNameIsNotShane! I've been very much an amateur singer for most of my life (in choir at school etc.), but I really started getting into jazz in late high school. I've been to a few jazz workshops and had a few lessons here and there, but really most of my learning has come from listening to jazz, and a lot of it! There are lots of different approaches to singing jazz, but it is quite different from other styles of singing. One good way to 'sound more jazz-y' when singing is to think about how you would speak the words, and try to sing it that way. So you don't necessarily need to use really long-held notes, for instance, and the 'phrasing' (the way a musical 'sentence' flows) should reflect how the lyrics would literally be spoken. Within jazz alone, there are so many different styles of singing, so I'd really suggest listening to a whole heap of different jazz singers, and see what styles you enjoy the most. If there's a particular song you really like, try listening to different versions of it, and see how each singer might have a slightly different take on the melody. And with all of that, be sure to sing along! I hope some of that might be useful to you. I've actually got a Discord server (though it's pretty small at the moment), so if you want to chat some more about jazz singing, that might be a good place for it! The link's in the description.

Thanks, Mohr Words. Glad I finally managed to find a tune you hadn't yet come across! 😁

Thanks, Zahra!

What an awesome bit of history. Thanks for sharing, Trev! I love both the Nat King Cole and Billy Eckstine versions too. I wonder what songs would be picked if they ran the same survey today. So many of these great tunes are fading all too fast from the public consciousness, so I'm glad I get to help (in some small way) to keep them alive.

Thanks, Ron! They don't write songs like they used to, that's for sure!

@@jordanasmussen That got you a subscribe! You the man!

Thanks, Ron. I really appreciate it!

Thanks, Phil! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!
