삶의 회한과 슬픔의 화신, 빌리 홀리데이의 데뷔 이후 전성기까지의 10년간의 활동을 담은 희귀 앨범. 빌디 홀리데이의 연대기별 레코딩을 깨끗한 음질의 CD로 리마스터링한 36곡, 2CD, 2 FOR 1 음반
JAZZMAN - CARVIL 앨범 <Strange Fruit>
완벽하게 재현된 두장의 콜렉션 음반이 출시되었다. 이번 콜렉션 음반 구입을 고려할만한 두 가지 이유가 있다. 우선 재즈비평가 알랭 제르베가 이번 컬렉션을 위해 1946년까지의 빌리 홀리데이가 부른 36개의 명곡들만을 선택했다는 사실이다. 두번째로 제 6집(Volume6) 부터 알랭 제르베가 직접 제작한 쟈끄 루방(Jacques Lubin)을 비롯한 여가수 전집에 뒤 이은 음반이라는 것이다.. The Quintessence 라는 더블 음반은 음반 제작에 있어 모범이 될 만하다. 이번 앨범에는 레이디 데이(빌리 홀리데이의 별칭)의 곡이 시대순으로 수록되어 있다. 빌리가 스무살 이였던 1935년 7월부터 1944년 11월 사이의 빌리의 곡들을 시간의 흐름에 따라 담아내었다. 두개의 음반 중 첫번째 앨범은 1939년 4월까지 그녀가 불렀던 노래들이 수록되어 있고 1935년 4월에 있었던 그 유명한 공연에서 빌리가 부른 Strange Fruit이란 곡이 첫번째 CD의 마지막을 장식하고 있다. 이번 앨범에는 빌리 홀리데이가 레스터 영과 함께 한 곡들 중 The Man I Love만이 수록되었다. 그러나 벤 웹스터(Ben Webster), 테디 윌슨(Teddy Wilson),해리 카니(Harry Carney) 죠니 헛지(johnny Hudge), 테디 윌슨(Teddy Wilson), 버니 베리건(Bunny Berigan), 벅 클레리튼(Buck Clayton), 텝 스미스(Tab Smith), 촬리 쉐이버(Charlie Shavers), 로이 엘드리지(Roy Eldridge) 등 여러 뮤지션들의 연주를 들을 수 있다. 때로는 밝은 느낌의(Nice Work if you Can Get It, Them There Eyes) 그리고 대부분 슬프고 우울한 느낌(Strange Fruit, Fine and Mellow, God Bless the Child, Don’t Explain)이 흐르는 빌리의 노래와 함께 이들의 연주를 감상할 수 있다. 다른 곡들에 비해 덜 알려진 곡들이 호기심을 자극하기도 한다. 벤 웹스터(Ben Webster) 색소폰 반주에 맞춰 부른 I’ve got my love to keep warm 이나 Solitude, Some Other spring이 그 예이다. 그리고 1936년부터 소개되기 시작한 프레이징 기법의 곡인 The Foolish Things 와 Summertime의 완벽함에 갈채를 보내게 될 것이다. 재즈의 마스터 전집 중 제 8집에는 위와 같은 분위기의 또 다른 6곡(Strange Fruit, Fine and Mellow, I Gotta Right To Sing the Blues, Some Other Spring, Them There Eyes, The Man I Love)이 수록되어있다. 제 8집에는 1939년 3월과 9월 녹음된 빌리의 곡들이 수록되어있다. Strange Fruit으로 마감되는 첫번째 CD와 두 번째 CD 사이에 텍스트가 수록되어 있다.
Perfect titles for pieces, unforgettable like I Cried for You, Strange Fruit or Fine and Mellow... selected from 1935 to 1944. The excellent fragrance of the disaster who was surnamed as the great jazz vocalist ever existed revives in this edition. DIAPASON D'OR - CHOC JAZZ MAN - DISQUE D'OR LE GUIDE DU CD .... ....
I wished on the moon For something I never knew Wished on the moon For more than I ever knew A sweeter rose, a softer sky On April days that would not dance by I begged on the stars To throw me a beam or two Wished on the stars And asked for a dream or two I looked for every loveliness It all came true I wished on the moon for you
Ooh, ooh, ooh What a little moonlight can do Ooh, ooh, ooh What a little moonlight can do to you You in love Your heart's fluttering all day long You only stutter cause you for sure Just throw that out of the way I love you Ooh, ooh, ooh What a little moonlight can do Wait a while Till a little moonbeam comes peepin' through He'll get bored You can't resist him All you'll say When you have kissed him is Ooh, ooh, ooh
Who do you think is comin' to town You'll never guess who Lovable, hugable Emily Brown Miss Brown to you What if the rain comes pattering down My heaven is blue Can it be sending me Emily Brown Miss Brown to you I know her eyes will thrill ya But go slow, oh, oh Don't you all get too familiar Why do you think she's comin' to town Just wait and you'll see The lovable little Miss Brown to you Is baby to me, yes, yes Mark it down
A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces An airline ticket to romantic places Still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you. A tinkling piano in the next apartment Those stumblin'words That told you what my heart meant A fair ground painted swings These foolish things remind me of you.
You came, you saw, you conquered me When you did that to me I knew somehow this had to be The winds of march that made my heart a dancer A telephone that rings but who's to answer Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you
I cried for you Now it's your turn to cry over me Every road has a turning That's one thing you're learning I cried for you What a fool I used to be Now I've found two eyes Just a little bit bluer I've found a heart Just a little bit truer I cried for you Now it's your turn to cry over me
Did I remember to tell you I adore you And I am livin' for you alone Did I remember to say I'm lost without you And just how mad about you I've grown You were in my arms And that was all I knew We were alone, we two What did I say to you Did I remember to tell you I adore you And pray forevermore you'll be mine
No regrets Although our love affair has gone astray No regrets I know I'll always care though you're away So now our happy romance ended suddenly Still in my heart you'll be forever mine No regrets Because somebody new looks good to you No regrets Sweetheart no matter what you say or do I know our love will linger When the other love forgets So I say goodbye with no regrets
No regrets Because somebody new looks good to you No regrets Sweetheart no matter what you say or do I know our love will linger When the other love forgets So I say goodbye with no regrets
Summertime and the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is fine Oh your Daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin' So hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings You're goin' to rise up singing Then you'll spread your wings And you'll take the sky But till that morning There's a nothin' can harm you With daddy and mammy standin' by
Lord I love my man, tell the world I do I love my man, tell the world I do But when he mistreats me Makes me feel so blue
My man wouldn't give me no breakfast Wouldn't give me no dinner Fought about my supper and put me outdoors Had the dark clay make black spots on my clothes I didn't have so many But I had a long, long way to go
Some men like me talkin' happy Some calls it snappy Some call me honey Others think I got money Some tell me baby you're built for speed Now if you put that all together Makes me everthing a good man needs
A fine romance, with no kisses A fine romance, my friend this is We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes A fine romance, you won't nestle A fine romance, you won't wrestle I might as well play bridge With my old maid aunt I haven't got a chance This is a fine romance
A fine romance, my good fellow You take romance, I'll take jello You're calmer than the seals In the Arctic Ocean At least they flap their fins To express emotion A fine romance with no quarrels With no insults and all morals I've never mussed the crease In your blue serge pants I never get the chance This is a fine romance
Never dared to have your arms around me Not that I considered it a sin But tonight I want your arms around me It's the mood that I'm in Can it be the music that they're playin' Or the magic of the violin That intrigues my heart to obeyin' It's the mood that I'm in Maybe it's the cocktail that I'm sippin' Tonight I'm so romantically inclined So speak to me of love In words so tender Let the rhapsody of life begin I could give my heart in sweet surrender It's the mood I'm in
Moanin' low, my sweet man, I love him so Though he's mean as can be He's the kind of man needs the kind Of a woman like me
Gonna die if my sweet man should pass me by If I die where'ii he be He's the kind of a man needs the kind Of a woman like me
Don't know any reason why He treats me so poorly What have I gone and done Makes me troubles double with his worries When surely I ain't deserving of none
Moanin' low My sweet man is gonna go When he goes, oh Lordy He's the kind of a man needs the kind Of a woman like meMoanin' low, my sweet man, I love him so Though he's mean as can be He's the kind of man needs the kind Of a woman like me
Gonna die if my sweet man should pass me by If I die where'ii he be He's the kind of a man needs the kind Of a woman like me
Don't know any reason why He treats me so poorly What have I gone and done Makes me troubles double with his worries When surely I ain't deserving of none
Moanin' low My sweet man is gonna go When he goes, oh Lordy He's the kind of a man needs the kind Of a woman like me
I'll get by As long as I have you Oh there'be rain And darkness too I'll not complain I'll live with you Poverty May come to me that's true But what care I I'll get by As long as I have you
*ALTERNATIVELY (I don't know....., ecduzit) I'll get by as long as I have you Though there'll be rain and darkness too I'll not complain I'll laugh, it's true
Ah, but tears may come to me That's true But what care I, say I'll get by, as long as I have you
The man who only lives for making money Lives a life that is'nt necessarily sunny Likewise the man who works for fame There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment Is the kind that is for girl and boys meant Fall in love you won't regret it That''s the best work of all if you can get it
Holding hands at midnight 'Neath the starry sky Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try Scrolling with the one girl Sighing after sigh Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try
Just imagen someone waiting at the cottage door Where two hearts become one Who could ask for more Loving one who loves you And taking that vow Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if Won't you tell me how?
You go to my head You linger like a haunting refrain And I find you spinning round In my brain Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne You go to my head Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew And I find the very mention of you Like the kicker in a julep or two The thrill of the thought That you might give a thought To my plea, casts a spell over me Still I say to myself Get ahold of yourself Can't you see that it never can be You go to my head with a smile That makes my temperature rise Like a summer with a thousand Julys You intoxicate my soul with your eyes Though I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance In this crazy romance You go to my head, you go to my head
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance In this crazy romance You go to my head, you go to my head
Joys that come to others Seldom come to me But if I only were Aladin How different things would be Every time I wish I wish I had you Every time I dream The dream is for two You're the part within my heart That beats all day Seems to say, "I love you"
Everywhere I go You're all that I see Wonder if you know What you mean to me Wishes would be grand If only they came true For every time I wish I wish I had you
Southern trees bear a strange fruit, Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze, Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant south, The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth, Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh, Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is the fruit for the crows to pluck, For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop, Here is a strange and bitter crop.
My man don't love me Treats me oh so mean My man he don't love me Treats me awfully He's the, lowest man That I've ever see
He wears high trimmed pan Stripes are really yellow He wears high trimmed pan Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts in to love me He's so fine and mellow
Love will make you drink and gamble Make you stay out all night long repeat Love will make you drink and gamble Make you stay out all night long repeat
Love will make you do things That you know is wrong
But if you treat me right baby I'll stay home everyday But if you treat me right baby I'll stay home everyday
But you're so mean to me baby I know you're gonna drive me away
Love is just like the faucet It turns off and on Love is just like the faucet It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on baby It has turned off and gone
Some other spring I'll try to love Now I still cling To faded blossoms Fresh from worn Left chrushed and torn Like the love affair I mourn
Some other spring When twilight falls Will the night bring Another to me?
Not your kind But let me find It's not true that love is blind Sunshine's around me But deep in my heart it's cold as ice Love, once you've found me But can that story unfold twice?
Some other spring Will my heart awake? Stirring to sing Love's magic music Then forget the old duet Love in some other spring? Spring?
I fell in love with you first time I looked into Them there eyes You've got a certain lil' cute way of flirtin' with Them there eyes They make me feel happy They make me feel blue No stallin' I'm fallin' Going in a big way for sweet little you My heart is jumpin' Sure started somethin with Them there eyes You'de better watch them if you're wise They sparkle They bubble They're gonna get you in a whole lot of trouble You're overworkin' them There's danger lurkin' in Them there eyes
Maybe you think I'm just flirtin' Maybe you think I'm all lies Just because I get romantic when I gaze in Them there eyes
Someday he'll come along The man I love And he'll be big and strong The man I love And when he comes my way I'll do my best to make him stay He'll look at me and smile I'll understand Then in a little while He'll take my hand And though it seems absurd I know we both won't say a word Maybe I shall meet him Sunday Maybe Monday, maybe not Still I'm sure to meet him one day Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day He'll build a little home That's meant for two From which I'll never roam Who would, would you And so all else above I'm dreaming of the man I love
You're making me blue All that you do Seems unfair You try not to hear Turn a deaf ear To my prayer It seems you don't want to see What you are doingg to me My arms are waiting to caress you And to my heart they long to press you, sweet heart
My heart is sad and lonely For you I cry For you, dear, only I tell you I mean it I'm all for you Body and soul
I spend my days in longing And wondering it's me you're wronging Why haven't you seen it I'm all for you Body and soul
I can't believe it It hard to conceive it That you'd turn away romance Are you pretending Don't say it's the ending I wish I could have one more change to prove, dear My life a hell your'e making You know I'm yours for just the taking I'd gladly surrender Myself to you Body and soul
Life's dreary for me Day's seem to be long as years I've looked for the sun But can see none Through my tears Your heart must be like a stone To leave me like this alone When you could make my life worth living By taking what I'm set on giving, sweet heart
My heart is sad and lonely For you I cry For you, dear, only I tell you I mean it I'm all for you Body and soul
I'm in a lowdown groove From carrying a torch for you Oh, what a lowdown groove Really don't know what to do
My heart has no sense of humor Dear, as far as you're concerned It's more than a Winchell rumor This time I really got burned I don't need a song to prove That I'm in such a lowdown groove
Them that's got shall get Them that's not shall lose So the Bible said and it still is news Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own
Yes, the strong gets more While the weak ones fade Empty pockets don't ever make the grade Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends Crowding round the door When you're gone, spending ends They don't come no more Rich relations give Crust of bread and such You can help yourself But don't take too much Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own
Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own He just worry 'bout nothin' Cause he's got his own
I'm trav'lin' light Because my man has gone So from now on I'm trav'lin' light He said goodbye And took my heart away So from today I'm trav'lin' light
No one to see I'm free as the breese No one but me And my menories Some lucky night He may come back again So untill then I'm trav'lin' light
No one to see I'm free as the breese No one but me And my menories Some lucky night He may come back again So untill then I'm trav'lin' light
My old flame I can't even think of his name But it's funny now and then How my thoughts go flashing back again To my old flame My old flame My new lovers all seem so tame For I haven't met a gent
So innocent or elegant As my old flame
I've met so many men With fascinating ways A fascinating gaze in their eyes Som who sent me up to the skies But their attempts at love Were only imitations of My old flame I can't even think of his name But I'll never be the same Untill I discover what became Of my old flame
I've met so many men With fascinating ways A fascinating gaze in their eyes Som who sent me up to the skies But their attempts at love Were only imitations of My old flame I can't even think of his name But I'll never be the same Untill I discover what became Of my old flame
I'll be seeing you In all the old familiar places That this heart of mine embraces All day and through In that small cafe The park across the way The children carrousel The chestnut trees The wishing well
I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you
Cathedral bells were tolling As our love sang on. Was it the spell of Paris, or just the April dawn? Who knows if we will meet again, Love with morning chiming sweet again
You went away I let you We broke the ties that bind I wanted to forget you And leave the past behind Still, the magic if the night I met you Seems to stay forever in my mind
The sky was blue And high above The moon was new And so was love This eager heart of mine was singing Lover where can you be You came at last Love had its day That day is past You've gone away This aching heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me When I remember every little thing You used to do I'm so lonely Every road I walk along I walk along with you No wonder I am lonely The sky is blue The night is cold The moon is new But love is old And while I'm waiting here This heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me When I remember every little thing You used to do I grow lonely Every road I walk along I walk along with you No wonder I am lonely The sky is blue The night is cold The moon is new But love is old And while I'm waiting here This heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me
Grab your coat and get your hat Leave your worry on the doorstep Just direct your feet To the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear a pitter-pat And that happy tune is your step Life can be so sweet On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade With those blues on parade But now I'm not afraid This rover crossed over If I'd never have a cent I'd be rich as Rockefeller Going to set my feet On the sunny side of the street
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad I long to try something I never had Never had no kissin' Oh, what I've been missin' Lover man, oh, where can you be?
The night is cold and I'm so alone I'd give my soul just to call you my own Got a moon above me But no one to love me Lover man, oh, where can you be?
I've heard it said That the thrill of romance Can be like a heavenly dream I go to bed with a prayer That you'll make love to me Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet And you'll dry all my tears Then whisper sweet Little things in my ear Hugging and a-kissing Oh, what I've been missing Lover man, oh, where can you be?
You ain't gonna bother me no more Nohow Love just goes so far No more Woke up this morining and found I didn't care for you no more Nohow Never felt so good before You're down to my size It's over and done So honey, step down from your throne That look in your eyes
Don't bother me none Can take or leave you alone From my window Skys ain't grey nomore Not now Here's the day That I've been waiting for Got only one heart One heart with no spares Must save it for loving Somebody who cares So you ain't gonna bother me No more, no more
It's that ole devil called love game Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shock again Put a ring in my eyes Tears in my dreams And rocks in my heart
It's that sly ole-sun-of-a-gun again He keeps telling me that I'm the lucky one again But I still have that ring Still have those tears And those rocks in my heart
Suppose I didn't stay and ran away Wouldn't play That devil-what a potion he would brew He'd follow me around Build me up, tear me down Till I'd be so bewildered I wouldn't know what to do
Might as well give up the fight again I know darn well he'll convince me That he's right again When he sings that siren song I just gotta tag along With that ole devil called love
He'd follow around Build me up, tear me down Till I'd be so bewildered I wouldn't know what to do
