Georgia on My Mind has always been one of my favorites from the first time I ever heard it.
Angel Eyes
PS this is what jazz music looks like.
Try to think that love´s not around
But it´s uncomfortably near
My old heart ain´t gaining no ground
Because my angel eyes ain´t here
Angel eyes, that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love´s mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The laughs and the jokes are on me
Pardon me but I got to run
The fact´s uncommonly clear
Got to find who´s now number one
And why my angel eyes ain’t here
Oh, where is my angel eyes
Excuse me while I disappear
Angel eyes, angel eyes.
Angel Eyes, one of my personal favorite standards. And I really love this recording.
P.S. I get teary eyed looking at that leadsheet. My trumpet needs to get out of its case. I miss jazz so much.
As Jazz Day winds down, I figured I’d share some work of my own that is jazz-related.
A while ago, I arranged the chart from the last post (Tank! by Yoko Kanno) for my old high school’s Jazz Ensemble. Here’s a little bit from one of the pages. The second chorus starts three bars in.
