From jazz clubs to concert halls and even the White House, the intuitive and playful spark they bring to the bandstand is always marked with passion and dynamic interplay. Yamin and Christopher share a deep commitment to celebrating the enduring legacy and relevance of the greats who inspire them. Yet, even though aural glimpses of their heroes are evident, their dedication to their own personal voices is abundant in this collection of thoughtfully chosen songs. Louie's Dream, is a song recorded only one other time by Louis Armstrong with co-composer Marty Napoleon on piano, the last surviving member of the Armstrong All-Stars. Other selections include The Mooche for Barney Bigard and the Ellingtonians, What's Your Story Morning Glory?. for Mary Lou Williams, Baraka 75, a spiky Yamin original dedicated to poet/activist Amiri Baraka, and You Gotta Treat It Gentle, Christopher's bluesy ballad for Sidney Bechet. Two songs from Yamin's jazz musical about women's suffrage, "Holding the Torch for Liberty, are also featured. The New Orleans flavored It's the Way That You Talk and the heartstring-pulling ballad, Don't Go Back On Your Raisin'. Two Ellington rarities, Azalea and Dancers in Love round out the collection. Label-Yamin Music LLC, co-sponsored by The Jazz Drama Program, a non-profit 501-c3 corporation, inspiring students and teachers with interactive experiences in the jazz arts-storytelling, music, theatre, dance and visual arts.
Louie's Dream: For Our Jazz Heroes
Mat tiggas I salute you!!! You have worked your magic yet again!
ReplyDeleteYou have sure made this old guy very, very happy. Many thanks and best wishes for the future.
thanks for sharing this beautiful duet.
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt for the Louies Dream album, unfortunately there is something wrong with tracks 9 and 10. I was searching the net to see who on earth Amiri Baraka is/was and of course came across the track listing which indicates 4.5mins and 5.50mins respectively not 0.14mins and 0.12mins. I wonder if this can be rectified?
