🎹 Shaune Allan: Dedicated to You by Sammy Cahn, Saul Chaplin, and Hy Zaret (1936)
❄️ Brooklyn, New York | January 23rd, 2025 | -10°
This is a quiet, heartfelt recording made on a cold winter evening in Brooklyn. With a Korg electric piano, a Tascam DR-08 recorder, and a single room mic, I captured this raw, minimal session-a small step on my path to exploring and honoring the rich tradition of jazz. 🎶 This isn’t about perfection or performance; it’s about connection and reverence for the greats who shaped this art form. 🌟
🎵 "Dedicated to You"-written in 1936 by Sammy Cahn, Saul Chaplin, and Hy Zaret-has long been a favorite among jazz vocalists and instrumentalists alike. Its tender melody and romantic lyrics have made it an enduring standard, with unforgettable interpretations by legends like Johnny Hartman and John Coltrane. This piece embodies the timeless charm of jazz balladry, weaving intimacy with musical sophistication. ✨
For me, revisiting Dedicated to You is a reminder of jazz’s profound ability to convey vulnerability and emotion. 🧡 This simple, unembellished performance is my way of contributing to a tradition that continues to inspire, heal, and bring people together. 🌌
