________________________________________________
“A Night in Tunisia” is a quintessential composition by trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. Its origins remain somewhat of a mystery. However, many sources have claimed to have located its genesis in Gillespie’s time as a member of Benny Carter’s band in 1942.
The tune later became a staple number of Billy Eckstine’s big band, which is known as the first ever bebop big band. This band featured, alongside Gillespie, saxophonist Charlie Parker, and vocalist Sarah Vaughan. At this time, the song was introduced as “Interlude,” with lyrics by Vaughan. Indeed, the vocalist herself was one of the first artists to record it, in a slow version from December 1944 featuring Gillespie as a sideman.
Though later vocal recordings would feature alternate lyrics by Jon Hendricks that more appropriately fit the “new” title “A Night in Tunisia,” Gillespie would keep referring to his composition as “Interlude,” unaware of how, why or when the title change exactly occurred. In fact, Alyn Shipton writes in Groovin’ High: The Life of Dizzy Gillespie: “Attractive as the idea is to use the piece as a symbol of ‘imaginings of Africa,’ the weight of evidence suggests that the piece existed well before it acquired the ‘Tunisia’ tag.”
Nevertheless, this track shows its composer’s ambition to step away from the conventions of 1940’s jazz. This is shown by its Afro-Caribbean rhythms, innovative approach to harmony and melody, and by its departure from the standard walking bass line of 1940s jazz. Today, the song is recognized as one of the most influential tracks in the evolution of the modern jazz idiom and has allegedly appeared on over 300 CD’s.
The moon is the same moon above you
Aglow with it's cool evening light
But shining at night, in tunisia
Never does it shine so bright
The stars are aglow in the heavens
But only the wise understand
That shining at night in tunisia
They guide you through the desert sand
Words fail, to tell a tale
Too exotic to be told
Each nights a deeper night
In a world, ages old
The cares of the day seem to vanish
The ending of day brings release
Each wonderful night in tunisia
Where the nights are filled with peace
Love x x
Alyona

Unbelievable! From gravely throated Janice to smooth as silk Ella! I love this woman. Why has she not been picked up by a major label and promoted to proper status as the great singer she is?

🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳

[@V1rowt8]

Love when you sing these classic tunes. This one....and “Only The Lonely” are amongst my personal favorites. So much more to this material than garden variety pop. Few contemporary vocalists can sing this type material well, but it’s a wonderful fit for you. Very nice work!

[@tinahuffman2788]

Felt like I was in a great James Bond movie in the tropics, white balconey, beautiful long dress, lots of dreamy curtains and a gorgeous man in white tux! Be still my heart.

[@tatyanaguzhavina494]

I was just transported to the 20's! Your voice is so wonderful! I have been hearing you sing Whitney Houston, Aerosmith and now Ella Fitzgerald! Can you do a Lana Del Rey song? I feel like the imagery of the lyrics and the sound would be great! Oh and I love Queen!

[@JolieLaide72]

I have been following you for a while getting inspiration from your incredible talent. Your interpretation of this classic is far more superior to what I heard others do. I love your rock covers, but this is truly the gem, thank you.

[@thierrybertrand6621]

Magnifique ! What a voice ! You should do cover with that kind of music more often. Thx for that one.

[@ieibioe]

Господи! Как же шикарно. Видео просто прекрасное - всё, и ваш кулон на белоснежной футболке, сливающейся с белым фоном, и ваша причёска, и макияж, и наушники с микрофоном! Всё так минималистично и в то же время так лаконично! Простите за прямоту, но я влюбилась. Комплименты по поводу вокала полагаю делать бессмысленно - вы просто ангел. К слову буду по вашему образцу учить эту песню. Спою на зачёте. Тембры схожие (по крайней мере так говорит мой педагог) и вибрато тоже у меня схоже звучит. Вобщем - учила, кайфовала от песни и любовалась вами. Просто чудо - услада глаз и слуха вместе! И главное нашла вас случайно )))

[@tenmostwantedband]

Excellent! ❤

Alyona Eres lo mejor una gran cantante. Me encantas y disfruto mucho tus canciones.

[@MrSavanish]

A quick history of this song, “A Night in Tunisia” is one of the most famous jazz standards, composed in 1942 by Dizzy Gillespie. At the beginning, there was no mention at all of Tunisia in this song. It was named “Interlude », and its lyrics were completely different... But why Tunisia? During World War II, the American army fought the German army in North Africa, particularly on Tunisia’s soil. Several thousands of American soldiers died there, their remains now resting in the American cemetery of Carthage. The Second World War represented a crucial moment in the African-Americans empowering movement. Black people fought alongside White people and were welcomed as heroes by liberated populations. But in the United States, they were still subject to segregation and did not receive the same honors at the end of the war. Thus, the years that followed were years of uprisings which lead to the Civil Rights Movement. The bebop style, introduced during this period by Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and others, pictured that rebellious spirit perfectly. This innovative style turned its back on big bands’ too conventional and consensual jazz. It developed complex harmonies on a rhythm way faster, more nervous and syncopated, taking inspiration from African rhythms. “A night in Tunisia” belongs to that movement: its rhythm is Afro-Cuban, its harmonies and its melody have something unsettling and exotic which can evoke Orient… or Tunisia. The same Tunisia which represented, during the war, the arrival on the African ground, the continent of origin of Black Americans. Thus, this Tunisia where “the moon is the same moon above you […] Never does it shine so bright”, where stars “guide you through the desert sand” and where “the nights are filled with peace” was a beautiful symbol of return to the roots, peace, and hope for African-Americans

Non sono giustificati i 4 non mi piace! Lo scrivo da artista vocalist jazz ( il mio nick youtube non è il mio nome d'arte). Brava! Voce impostata, uno scat un po' lento ma preciso nelle note, si sente che ha studiato il brano. Mi piacerebbe ascoltare delle sue variazioni, insomma modificare qui e là rende il pezzo più personale, è solo un consiglio.

[@FrancaisFrances]

Excelente!!
