Birthdays
1917- Lena Horne, Singer
Here's the full version of a performance that can be found truncated elsewhere on YouTube -- from the 1943 film of the same name, the great Lena Horne delivers a sizzling performance of her signature song. (I wish I had the full dance that follows it, which includes some amazing ballet.
1931- Andrew Hill, Musician
The Jazz Sessions spotlights Andrew Hill, a great and even groundbreaking composer and pianist. While many of his contemporaries were totally jettisoning the rhythmic and harmonic techniques of bop and hard bop, Hill worked to extend their possibilities; his was a revolution from within.
Creole Love Call - Kathleen Battle with Barrie Lee Hall, Jr. (trumpet)
1951- Stanley Clarke, Musician
Two of the all time greats on the Old Grey Whistle Test tv show, with an amazing rendition of Stanley Clarke's School Days. I wish the album version (as good as it was) sounded as great as this.
1984- Fantasia Barrino, Singer
Music video by Fantasia performing Truth Is. (C) 2004 19 Recordings Limited
