"The Swampers" were said to be the best at what you've described.

[@andyschnell58]

I believe Angelina was 9 years old for this jam session, covering Screamin Jay Hawkins' "Portrait of a Man". Of course Angelina changed the title to fit her youth. How can someone so young, have so much soul in their voice??

[@carolindeverdier]

I really like these reactions, it's great to learn things from someone who knows 😊 And also, that band album, such a wonderful idea!! @angelinajordanofficial

[@CarlD70]

Thanks Boudy...would agree and probably most of the Angel's would agree that she is a superior Jazz artist, not many of them left to bring this great music back and introduce it to the masses...though absolutely believe it would be totally lost on current generations who are now programmed to listen to whatever MSM assaults their ears with. Do believe that there are millions of us older generations who appreciate real music and would absolutely die for something like that. Her Jazz album "It's Magic" from the 11 year old Angelina has always done well in the Jazz Genre of the music charts, and still does. Love the idea.

[@mikeplott4817]

Great Reaction and Information 👍🙏👣💯😎

[@kerrythomas6220]

Angelina Jordan and Alma Deutscher. 18 and 19 years old respectively, the two greatest musical prodigies of our time. One is a multi genre artist, the other is a classical pianist, violinist and composer. Wish those two brains could meet some day!

Is there any such genre as jazz opera?

@@kerrythomas6220 IIRC, "Summertime" was initially a soprano part - in fact pure opera. Here's a clip from a recording that was made of Trevor Nunn's 1992 live production of Porgy and Bess at Covent Garden . kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWiQgpRvZ7etmM0 .But the whole piece has both from the Jazz and Classical idiom.

Although the video may say 7 years ago, that’s just the posting date. This would actually be from 2015 when Angelina was 9. You might find that with a lot of early Angelina videos. They are basically home movies taken by Grandma Mery who decided several years later. To post them to KZbin

[@elmarwinkler6335]

The composer here is "Screaming" Jay Hawkins, and the band is the same, almost, like in the "Spell". They LOVE their BOSS. Be well with your friends (band). Elmar from Germany

[@ruthmcniff7973]

I think Angelina should do ‘an album’ of all the great women of jazz. Call it Jazzy Women. Her senior angels would love it. No one else is covering jazz songs the way Angelina does 9:16

[@johnroache32]

Did I mention before that grandma Mery paid for these musicians. This is at a hotel for musicians to do some studio work and rehearsals. More 😇🌺 Stevie Wonder quartet at 8 m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKbRqKKfoMd9oas

[@robertsilva631]

The video provides interesting insight into how Angelina works. It is a rehearsal video with some of the members of the same band that performed with her in the BW version of I Put a Spell On You. Angelina is 9 yrs old and the spoken language is Norwegian - note that Angelina is positioned in the center and there are no vocal coaches or instructors in the room directing her - just her Mom who is just watching and listening, who you see briefly and her grandmother Mery is behind the camera - It is also possible that her Uncle Mike is there, but if he is he is not on camera. You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. There used to be a version of this video with English subtitles that appears the original subtitled post is no longer available - but here is a rough translation of what is going on. The first thing Angelina says is to start and then she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. Very impressive skill for someone so young.

[@milevakrezic9520]

[@DonaldLancon]

Øvingshotellet (seen on the back wall) = The Practice Hotel, a place in Oslo where you can rent rehearsal spaces. There are several other videos of rehearsals she did there (in different rooms), starting from when she was 8 and going up to at least 11.

[@BrimirMe]

I agree with your idea. She's well mature for it now. No reason to wait. She's got plenty of time to reinvent herself later.

[@ScionDraak]

You manifest it (now 2nd time,, go on) Boudy! 😊 Imagine she's sprinkle in a orchestra world tour each and every year... In "all the Halls" (Albert, Wiener Staatsoper, Skala, ...) Or like "The Angel is taken The KORK on Tour"!! "Buy now: only from March to September worldwide"...

[@nestordepoli]

As you described, it happened to me with Angelina, I never listened to Jazz, other than the best known songs, I love Heavy and Rock, and one day by chance I came across a video of Angelina, and everything changed the way I feel. music, I automatically felt a musical revolution, Angelina introduced me to incredible artists and genres, returning to the video, I think in part, Angelina asks the pianist if I could lower a tone or half a tone, when she is rehearsing and I think that when her glances begin , it's because something sounds strange hahaha, it's as incredible as it is wonderful, thank you so much for the video and greetings from Argentina

[@elmarwinkler6335]

At age 12 she just did this, with the military band. The album is "Its Magic".

I have a feeling that her grandma introduced her to Screamin Jay Hawkins, of course a song about an artist -. As it turns out, with this same band she tried - I put a spell on you, she could do so much more with that one!

[@SteveAckerman-ly3qg]

As always, wonderful, fascinating insights Boudy! So cool of you to share what it's like to take part in a jam session. It must be SO much fun. And along the lines of what you were saying - my fantasy has been that once Angelina is established (based mainly on originals), she does themed cover albums. Angelina Sings the Blues. AJ Does Jazz. Angelina Bares her Soul. Angelina: The Gospel Album. How awesome would that be. Would sell gobs of records (ok, streams), and introduce SO many people to classic music of the past.

[@Pyanfar]

I have thought or wished the same thing. Wouldn't it be just fantastic!

[@MichaelAmis-te2md]

This is Angelina during a jam session of Portrait of a Man and arranging the song as it goes! She is the boss but everything she said was more in the tone of a question as she is being respectful to the band! That is why they admire her so much! The ending is what puts it over the top, she goes from third person to first person and changes the ending! That is not the only song she has done that with! Suggest looking into the making of her original song Oslo!

There are videos of Angelina when she was 11 yo collaborating in rehearsal, with the Norway Military Band for her 1st album, "It's Magic." I think it's on Grandma Mery's original channel & she is 9 in this

Your album idea for Angelina would be my dream album. I would so buy it and play it everyday. I also really really appreciate your insights. You are my favorite content creator on KZbin because there is no fake overreactions just very honest but always kind. Thanks!

I’d buy that album in a New York minute. My favorite. Glad you put that out there. Awesome reaction!

[@Joseph-i1t]

Arab Man. That’s the same 5 guys she did. ( I put a spell on you) with. This song is from ( Screaming J Hawkins)

[@pjg58x]

I can see that type of album happening someday but maybe not just yet. I’m sure a lot of fans would like that now but i think Angelina wants to be more than just a jazz singer. I think she wants a broader appeal. Yes she started with jazz and loves it and it gives her a unique style but since she was very young she was already doing other music besides jazz. After several years of success as a pop/rock singer Linda Ronstadt recorded albums of standards and Mariachi music. Pat Benatar made a blues album. Gloria Esteban made all Spanish albums. Angelina needs to expand her audience beyond us old timers to really be successful and sing for the world. I think after she has attracted some younger people, they may be more receptive to an all jazz album. Then she can do the more contemporary music she wants to do but also other styles.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

I think that AJ is so talented and her voice so versatile, she can do what ever she wants.

[@RachelDacusAuthor]

[@robertpalmer9831]

Hi Boudy. I loved your reactions and insights on this. So many people these days are fretting about the threat of AI to the music and other arts. What they seem to miss is the utter degradation of music in general over the last twenty years in general. With the advent of sequencers, synthesizers, automated mixing boards and DAWs so much of music has become formulaic and done simply to make money. Now with streaming much of the money is gone as well. This has played havoc with the music industry, but it has opened up the field as well. It has allowed new artists to gain access to listeners that would never have heard otherwise. One of these is Angelina Jordan through her YT and other social media offerings. One thing has not changed and that is the magic of hearing great music performed live and here Angelina shines even brighter. She has mastered so many different genres that I agree that an album of standards from her would be fantastic. The problem she and other rising talents face is how to break out to a wider public when a few superstars such as Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Adele etc. dominate media attention and promotion to the point of sucking all the remaining oxygen from the room. I don't deny these artists their due, but I miss the time when there were so many new artists coming up with such a wide variety of new music. Even youtube seems to fall into fads and ruts all too quickly, but still is our best avenue allow creativity to flourish. It's there but you just have to actively seek it out and not allow the "algorithm" to guide your viewing.

Once again you killed it. Great job, Al Salam Alaykum Habibati (hope I got that correct) Thanks for letting me know what it means when I asked about it in your last Anjelina Jordan video review.

[@fredneecher1746]

It was Angelina who got me interested in jazz. Before, they were just old songs to me, but she brought them to life and made them fresh. I would love for her to do a whole album - 60 minutes at least - of classic jazz standards as she would interpret them today, working with a top flight band. That would be incredible, but I guess she has to get the pop stuff out of the way first if she's to make a name for herself.

[@IanNicol-v6y]

Yes please!!!!

[@josephstimpfl4594]

Yeah. Problem with many young singers who start with older material....they get seduced by the pop world then lose their audience and their artistic way. I agree with you although rather a jazz band than a big band. Whatever she does l hope she never discards her roots in jazz and blues for a purely pop identity.

[@john-toregundersen2655]

Why don't we find some of your comments on Angelina Jordan's videos in the playlist you dedicate to her? For example, her rendition of “Billie Jean”. If you add her renditions of “Here Is The Sun” and “I'll Be There”, you're up to 54, and we've passed the 52 mark for a year's worth of comments. So happy birthday and bravo for your stamina and your relevant and interesting contributions.

Chris' original Enhanced version is gone, but fortunately there are reactions to it, so there is still access to the translation on it. At the start: It’s a bit low. Should I start over again? … Can I just start all over? Sax player --> Yes it starts now. In the middle: Shouldn’t that be up one tone?

[@mr__jan_]

Thanks for your commentary. FYI, the writing on the wall translates to “The Practice Hotel,” it’s a place where musicians can rent space for practicing instead of having their own space. Also, I agree with your album idea, but I think she needs to establish herself with her own sound and style before doing that. Otherwise, she may be pigeon holed as a classic jazz singer. I did note that in brief interview backstage at The Ivors, when asked what she first wrote, she mentioned Million Miles, but nothing earlier. That seems to me to be to focus on the (retro-)pop singer Angelina, not the jazz singer Angelina. Just a thought. 🎼🎶🖤🎵

[@michaelrogers7426]

AJ can do both the classic album and do her modern personal style albums and frankly almost any genre she wants. Why confine the greatest singing talent of a generation! Your idea of introducing classics to younger generations is preserving greatness. Like you said passing on the torch. Who better than her? Rod Stewart has made a career out of classic covers. Yet he has an earlier catalogue as solo and in groups. Angelina could also do a duet album which could be very appealing to a mass audience. Or add the duets to the classic album. How about Michael Buble?

[@johnbrown3119]

Hi Boudy! This was entertaining and informative. But you are falling behind on current day Angelina. There are a few James Thiel videos from the February 29 concert out there.

There are videos of them performing this song in LA and then twice in London. The single was released today. They also are writing and recording songs together with one “Bad Valentine” they also performed in LA and that will be released as a single soon.

[@billyvelasquez3884]

The score is in f minor which is a little low .2 half tones up would be more copasetic with her range..the group was reluctant to transpose because it was perhaps difficult to do so...there not exactly the proverbial studio wrecking crew

[@lesbrunswick5137]

I disagree. These are some of the top jazz musicians in Norway. so I think they would have had no problem transposing. I think Angelina just wanted to sing it low. Think for instance of her cover of How Great Thou Art.
