"Bluesette" Connie Evingson "Jazz at the Jungle" June 12 2011

Summer Samba Show "Jazz at the Jungle" June 12 2011

[@russbutton9347]

The thing I like most about this vocalist is the confidence she has to allow the song come through instead of mangling the tune the way so many young singers do. Bravo!

[@mariamiselsi4415]

Poor little, sad little blue Bluesette Don't you cry, don't you fret You can bet one lucky day you'll waken And your blues will be forsaken Some lucky day lovely love will come your way If there is love in your heart to share Dear Bluesette, don't despair Some blue boy is waiting just like you To find a someone to be true to Two loving arms you can nestle in to stay Get set, Bluesette True love is coming Your lonely heart soon will be humming Pretty little Bluesette, musn't be a mourner Have you heard the news yet? Love's 'round the corner Love wrapped in rainbows and tied with pink ribbons To make your your next springtime your gold wedding ring time

[@robertstrickland5164]

Not only does she do a great job with a wonderful song, but she's absolutely gorgeous!

[@mollyevans687]

This is a difficult but beautiful song to sing, but Connie, Laura and the band performed beautifully.

[@scottmiller6495]

What a great Rendition of one of the greatest jazz songs of all time Period!!!!!

[@charlywobershalek7142]

Nobody of us ever knew a world without Toots Thielemans, and now that we haven't even begun facing such a world, we feel like a yearling in the spring sun realizing that the world goes on, just as beautifully as it used to. It takes a great interpreter of jazz, a lady like Connie to let us hear the melody still lingers on. Thank you!

[@claydobbins9342]

Beautiful. Magnificently wonderful. That voice... Wow! And the band is not shabby by any degree. I'm sure Toots would be proud.

[@2dasimmons]

WOw. Somewhere here on KZbin I heard iconic Stevie Wonder and Toots Thielemans playing this tune on their harmonicas. IT WAS FABULOUS.

[@jjbloyber]

Great rendition and singer and that bass player, how he drives and swings. Ahh! Subtle and gorgeous. Thanks for posting.

Wow Did not expect that voice and band when searching for a version of Bluesette

[@americogomez6435]

Great singer and great music.

[@mikikomurdoch5985]

Connie's excellent and uplifting vocal is simply perfect for this tune! The piano solo is also wonderful. This is my favorite version of this tune now, along with the version with Ivan Lins' vocal. Thank you for uploading!

Marvelous. Thanks for posting.

[@tengkusulaiman]

Dont forget the audio man. He did great job in this recording. Sounds great.

[@cinziavidali411]

Una cantante dalla voce bella e ricca di sfumature, che si apprezza tanto dal vivo quanto registrata. L'accompagnamento piacevolissimo, è del tutto all'altezza.

[@LovinHarmonyTrio]

Graceful, easy, creative improvisation makes this really fresh. Inspiring to a fellow vocalist.

[@joelweisberg]

This easy to look at songbird is nothing less than one of the best singers I've heard of, period!

[@jazzfan6]

Her voice has some subtle but unique qualities that are very appealing. I have one of her albums; this makes me want to find more.

[@zachcorrea1299]

Absolutely Incredible!

Sublime! I loved it !

[@williampinner1893]

Connie Evingson is an amazing jazz singer out of Anita O' Day type killin swingin jazz singer of the female variety who is beautiful and sings beautify , well she is wonderful.

[@Saigenji_guitar]

Wow! What a wondeful and musical performance!

[@douglaspeters5857]

Excellent rendition of the old jazz classic. Connie's style is unique with swinging all the way style. The unison jazz chorus between guitar and flute is super-duper to say the least.

[@artistaldonavisinskiene5019]

[@harrygio1]

Toots, your music lives on and people like you made all of this possible. R.I.P. Toots. Great version of this beautiful song!!!

[@teablissful]

My favorite person in the band is the gray-haired woman playing the guitar. Let's hear it for musically talented senior citizens!! Seriously. love this song. It has been my favorite since way back in high school. Loved Toots Thielemans.

Connie is a wonderful vocalist. I don't understand the comparison below to Diane Krall. Diane is a wonderful jazz musician, but her vocals take a back seat to Connie.

[@jean-lucbersou758]

EXACTLY LIKE YOU MICHAEL .....CONNIE has a large range beautiful tone and she does'nt sing DIANA 's lazy in the nose way that makes me feel she has hot potatoe in her mouth . This band plays wonderfully and the "TUTTI " is a huge beautiful affair !

[@bricology]

I may be an outlier, but I find Diana Krall to be vastly overrated; the product of hype, of strategic duetting with more famous vocalists, and of emphasis on glamour. Her actual instrument is slightly above average, but nothing special. If she were a country & western singer, she'd be second-rate; as a jazz vocalist, she's less than first-rate. Indeed, she doesn't really seem to me to have much of a jazz sensibility, as compared to some of her contemporaries like Veronica Swift.

[@thenov1944]

@@bricology Diana Krall is wonderfull performer pure & Simple ! Great keyboard & singer !

[@bricology]

@@thenov1944 -- that's fine, but Krall's stature as a *jazz* vocalist is inflated. She should be described as a "song stylist" or something, like Michael Feinstein. Jazz is a level above that. Listen to someone like Betty Carter or Anita O'Day, or contemporary jazz vocalists like Jazzmeia Horn or Veronica Swift. They use their voices as _instruments_ with which they do things that neither pop singers nor musical instruments can do, and they take a very different and creative approach to phrasing, from pop singers. A counterpart to Michael Feinstein would be someone like Mark Murphy, who was an actual jazz vocalist. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4nHqnltbpmJmJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3WpZ4t3fah_p7M

[@mistofoles]

This song is a bastard to play....abrupt pitch changes, and sudden increases in bar length, but it is still played to 3/4 beat time..

[@barrysebastian9584]

You got that right! Soloing over it requires concentration - as guitar and flute were immersed - and celebrated with big grins of success. Reading that must have been .... challenging! Who is the guitarists? I don’t recognize him.

[@mistofoles]

IKR.....some complex chords too.

[@mistofoles]

You can "cheat" the awkward 13th chord by playing it as 6th/7th simultaneously.

This version is superior to the studio recording which lacks the proper swing - recovered mostly here, but this tune needs to swing!
