Herbie Hancock's solo piano release, "Dedication," from 1970.  Just lovely.

Not exactly jazz (but I refuse to get into a debate about what is and what is not jazz here), but I encourage you all to enjoy Judy Garland's performance here.  In recent years Judy Garland has unjustifiedly served as a sort of sad punchline to a tasteless joke, what with her brilliant career punctuated and derailed by studio victimization and pharmaceutical digressions.  But the woman had it.  Genuine talent as a performer, tremendous pipes, and as this song shows, a flair for interpretation.  Judy goes from zero to sixty at the exact right time here.

Excellent! I have always like Judy's stuff. Her own Mother started her and her siblings on the pill routine when they played Vaudeville as The Gumm Sisters. Later the Studios tried to work her to death with their greed. Sad story indeed.
But, anyway, one of the finest voices and performers we've had the pleasure to witness. Thanks for posting that. :icon_thumright:
 
Apropos of the passing of the last surviving member of John Coltrane's great quartet, here is McCoy Tyner performing a solo rendition of Coltrane's Giant Steps.  One of the mightiest has fallen.

Doesn't matter how good you are, at the very peak of your abilities, John McLaughlin will always be miles down the road, joyously showing you how much better it's possible to be.  And Trilok Gurtu is an absolute monster.

Italian pianist Roberto Tarenzi and his trio cover Dire Straits, "The Man's Too Strong," hardly a first choice for a jazz cover, but anyway, it's REALLY nice. Bass solo is excellent.

Ellis Marsalis at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Center



2nd April 2020

Jazz pioneer Ellis Marsalis Jr has died at the age of 85 after being diagnosed with coronavirus, his son has said. Press Association reports:

Marsalis Jr - described as a “legend” of the New Orleans jazz scene - was the patriarch of a well-known musical family. His death on Wednesday came hours after Adam Schlesinger, best known for his work with rock band Fountains Of Wayne, died after contracting coronavirus.

Famous fans paid tribute online.

Singer John Legend tweeted: “Sending love to the Marsalis family. Condolences to them and all of those who loved Ellis Marsalis.”

The Wire star Wendell Pierce, who is from New Orleans, described Marsalis Jr as an “icon of our culture”.

Apple CEO Tim Cook shared a picture of himself with Marsalis Jr. He said: “Ellis Marsalis was a true legend. In his music, his passion for New Orleans and his steadfast dedication to education, he showed us all the power of community. He’ll be missed dearly. My thoughts are with his sons who carry on his legacy.”

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said Marsalis Jr was a “legend” and the “prototype of what we mean when we talk about New Orleans jazz”.

She added: “The love and the prayers of all of our people go out to his family, and to all of those whose lives he touched.”
