James Brown - Georgia On My Mind- 11 July 1981 • World of Jazz
James Brown - Georgia On My Mind- 11 July 1981 • World of Jazz Hotney 3 Vues • 3 années depuis

Georgia On My Mind performed by James Brown & the JBs at the North Sea Jazz Festival 1981.
James Brown was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and bandleader. He was the creator of funk music and a major figure of 20th century popular music and dance. He is known as the ""Godfather of Soul”.
In a career that spanned six decades, he influenced the development of several music genres.
In 1981 he performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival with his band the JB's, Congress Centre, The Hague, The Netherlands.

Tracklisting a.o.:
- We Are The Funky Men
- It’s Too Funky In Here
- Gonna Have A Funky Good Time
- Try Me
- Get On The Good Foot
- Georgia On My Mind
- I Got The Feeling
- Please Please Please
- Jam
- Sex Machine

This is the second performance of James Brown and his band, that he did during the North Sea Jazz Festival on 11 July 1981, held in the Congress center in The Hague.

This second concert is extraordinary and sees a James Brown that really gives everything to get the audience to their feet. The first concert that we published on 5 October 2017 which was recorded by AVRO Television earlier that 11th July 1981 saw a lame audience that did not know how to react. In this fantastic video we see what James Brown could do with any audience. Also this concert has a different tracklisting including a sensational 'It's A Man's World' in which he pays tribute to great artists who died such as Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and especially to John Lennon, who died some 6 months earlier.
The concert's encore is a raving rendition of 'Sex Machine'.
Enjoy!

Ella Fitzgerald - April In Paris - 25 august 1958 • World of Jazz Hotney 2 Vues • 3 années depuis

Ella Fitzgerald (1917 – 1996) is probably one of the best scat singers in its history. She had a long-lasting and successful career of nearly 60 years, with her last performance being in 1993. She was a jazz fan from a young age. She had this magical voice which she could transform any sad lyrics into a happy melody. Even though she didn’t had too many reasons to be happy. During her childhood she had to deal with a very aggressive stepfather and her mother killed in 1932, she ran away to Harlem to live with her aunt. According to the New York Times, she also dabbled in criminal activities, which eventually put her in an orphanage. Luckily her career went less tough on her. She won 14 Grammy Awards and a Presidential Medal of Freedom during this period. “April in Paris” was composed in 1931 on a baby grand piano located in Boccino's 54th Street rehearsal hall. This baby grand piano is now owned by Michael Adams and many pianists have recently played “April in Paris” on the same piano which it was composed on. This video is digitized by Inn Archive from a 16 millimetre tele recording

Gerry Mulligan Big Band - Bweebida Bobbida - 16 july 1982 • World of Jazz
Gerry Mulligan Big Band - Bweebida Bobbida - 16 july 1982 • World of Jazz Hotney 4 Vues • 3 années depuis

“Bweebida Bwobbida” (sometimes spelled “Bweebida Bobbida”) was originally conceived as a vehicle for larger ensembles by its composer, Gerry Mulligan. Based on the well-known chord changes to the standard “I Got Rhythm,” he first recorded it for Prestige and the baritone saxophonist continued to tinker with its arrangement over the next 11 years, recording a brilliant quartet version with valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer for the album the Gerry Mulligan Songbook. He asked Brookmeyer to arrange it for the critically acclaimed Concert Jazz Band in the early 1960s. Brookmeyer retained the inventive improvised counterpoint between he and the baritone saxophonist, but he greatly extended and revamped the work, adding some pep to the chart while also leaving room to show case soloists like alto saxophonist Gene Quill. Mulligan recorded a final quartet version with Brookmeyer during the making of the Phillips LP Spring is Sprung in 1962, though this version remains unissued.
This recording was made at the North Sea Jazz Festival, The Hague, The Netherlands on 16 July 1982

Sarah Vaughan & Douglas Duke - Scat Blues • World of Jazz Hotney 1 Vues • 3 années depuis

Artists: Sarah Vaughan & Douglas Duke
Broadcast date: 12-10-1963

This footage came from Dutch tv show Grand Gala du Disque in 1963 in the Kurhaus in Scheveningen, The Netherlands. The host is the well known Willem Duys.
Sarah Lois Vaughan was born in Los Angeles (1924-1990). She is one of the greatest American jazz singers of all times.
Sarah Vaughan was born in a very musical family. Her father Jake was a carpenter and played the guitar and piano. Her mother Ada was a laundress who sang in the church choir. Sarah grow up in a deeply religious family and began playing the piano at the age of seven in the church. Sarah became friends with George Treadwell who also played the trumpet. Later on, George became Sarah’s manager.
This footage came from Grand Gala du Disque in 1963, where something very special happened. During the show, one of the show hosts saw Sarah Vaughan sitting in the audience (unannounced). She suddenly just sits there and even stayed during the break. The show host asked her politely if she wanted to performed and she said yes. But under one condition: she wanted to be accompanied by Douglas Duke, someone she already knew. “ I don’t know what she’s going to sing, I think Duke doesn’t know either. Ladies and gentleman, I would like to draw your attention for the greatest jazz singer, Miss Sarah Vaughan.”
During this unannounced performance she sings: I Can't Give You Anything But Love "Once in a while" and a scat blues

Ella Fitzgerald - Sweet Georgia Brown (live) - 8 march 1974 - Music All In• World of Jazz Hotney 2 Vues • 3 années depuis

We publish this video to commemorate Ella Fitzgerald. This Monday, June 15, 2021, it is exactly 25 years ago that she passed away. Ella Fitzgerald is seen as one of the greatest jazz singers of all time.

"Sweet Georgia Brown" is a jazz standard and pop tune written in 1925 by Ben Bernie and Maceo Pinkard (music) and Kenneth Casey (lyrics).

Reportedly Ben Bernie came up with the concept for the song's lyrics - although he is not the accredited lyricist - after meeting Dr. George Thaddeus Brown in New York City: Dr. Brown, a longtime member of the State House of Representatives for Georgia, told Bernie about Dr. Brown's daughter Georgia Brown and how subsequent to the baby girl's birth on August 11, 1911 the Georgia General Assembly had issued a declaration that she was to be named Georgia after the state, an anecdote which would be directly referenced by the song's lyric: "Georgia claimed her - Georgia named her."

Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996) was an American jazz vocalist with a vocal range spanning three octaves (D?3 to D?6). Often referred to as the "First Lady of Song," the "Queen of Jazz" and "Lady Ella," she was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.

Miriam Makeba - Promise - 5 june 1981 • World of Jazz
Miriam Makeba - Promise - 5 june 1981 • World of Jazz Hotney 6 Vues • 3 années depuis

Zenzile Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 – 9 November 2008), nicknamed Mama Africa, was a South African singer, songwriter, actress, United Nations goodwill ambassador, and civil rights activist. Associated with musical genres including Afropop, jazz, and world music, she was an advocate against apartheid and white-minority government in South Africa.

Born in Johannesburg to Swazi and Xhosa parents, Makeba was forced to find employment as a child after the death of her father. She had a brief and allegedly abusive first marriage at the age of 17, gave birth to her only child in 1950, and survived breast cancer. Her vocal talent had been recognized when she was a child, and she began singing professionally in the 1950s, with the Cuban Brothers, the Manhattan Brothers, and an all-woman group, the Skylarks, performing a mixture of jazz, traditional African melodies, and Western popular music. In 1959, Makeba had a brief role in the anti-apartheid film Come Back, Africa, which brought her international attention, and led to her performing in Venice, London, and New York City. In London, she met the American singer Harry Belafonte, who became a mentor and colleague. She moved to New York City, where she became immediately popular, and recorded her first solo album in 1960. Her attempt to return to South Africa that year for her mother's funeral was prevented by the country's government.

Makeba's career flourished in the United States, and she released several albums and songs, her most popular being "Pata Pata" (1967). Along with Belafonte she received a Grammy Award for her 1965 album An Evening with Belafonte/Makeba. She testified against the South African government at the United Nations and became involved in the civil rights movement. She married Stokely Carmichael, a leader of the Black Panther Party, in 1968. As a result, she lost support among white Americans and faced hostility from the US government, leading her and Carmichael to move to Guinea. She continued to perform, mostly in African countries, including at several independence celebrations. She began to write and perform music more explicitly critical of apartheid; the 1977 song "Soweto Blues", written by her former husband Hugh Masekela, was about the Soweto uprising. After apartheid was dismantled in 1990, Makeba returned to South Africa. She continued recording and performing, including a 1991 album with Nina Simone and Dizzy Gillespie, and appeared in the 1992 film Sarafina!. She was named a UN goodwill ambassador in 1999, and campaigned for humanitarian causes. She died of a heart attack during a 2008 concert in Italy.

Makeba was among the first African musicians to receive worldwide recognition. She brought African music to a Western audience, and popularized the world music and Afropop genres. She also made popular several songs critical of apartheid, and became a symbol of opposition to the system, particularly after her right to return was revoked. Upon her death, former South African President Nelson Mandela said that "her music inspired a powerful sense of hope in all of us."
This performance of Miriam Makeba was recorded on Saturday, July 12, 1980 during the North Sea Jazz Festival, Congresgebouw, The Hague, The Netherlands
