Programme
Norwegian Wood - Lennon/McCartney Arr Tom Ridout (b1994)
An original arrangement of this fantastic folk-influenced John Lennon song, with some hints towards the great saxophonist John Coltrane's treatments of Greensleeves and My Favourite things. The End of a Love Affair - Edward C (Bud) Redding (1918-1984) A beautiful ballad made famous by singers Billy Holliday and Frank Sinatra, this tune is often played fast by jazz instrumentalists such as guitarist Wes Montgomery, who plays it with a Latin/Swing feel, and saxophonist Dexter Gordon, who plays it as an up tempo swinger. Sing no More The Blues - Tom Ridout This is a “50s songbook”-esque ballad, with a distinctly dark feel to it – somewhere between cautiously misplaced optimism and a hopeful kind of gentle despair! Sunny Side of the Street - Jimmy McHugh (1894-1969) A classic American Songbook standard from the era of swing music, first recorded by Layton & Johnstone (an American vocal and piano duo) in 1930, made popular by the likes of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra and many others. Respite - Tom Ridout I wrote this tune to try to capture the lazy and relaxed feeling you get on a warm summers day, when you have nothing to do but sit outside enjoying the world around you. |
