This is a version where I’ve written lyrics to Chet Baker’s famous trumpet solo where he performed with Paul Desmond (alto sax), bob James (Keyboards), Ron Carter (contrabass), Steve Gadd (drums). This is just Voice and bass, featuring Mauro Sereno (@MrSunnybass) from Italy. As always Ramjee put the video together for me.
Radha Thomas, voice / Pavel Ershov, Guitar I love #JulieLondon who first sang #CryMeARiver in 1955, the year I was born. She was accompanied by #BarneyKessel, monster guitar player. So I feel this is a pretty apt little tribute to the sound of the guitar and the voice together, two of the most perfect combos […]
I wrote lyrics to this classic many, may years ago. Haven’t performed it live too often but this set up was too tempting. Pavel Ershov on guitar from #russia, Maciek Szczyciński on bass and Bartosz Mikolaj Nazaruk on drums from #Poland. And me from #bangalore. I decided to give it a nice, laid back swing. […]
Feel so frazzled today with my doggie being ill and all, it felt like the right time to post this chill version of #LoveMeDo With Mauro Sereno on @mrsunnybass and Michael Molloy on piano. I loved doing this so much. Ale Rosenblat and Lautaro Luna Binder thanks ❤ Hope you like it. . . . […]
#LonelyInNewYork is a sweet and lilting song that I really like. I never thought I’d get over #Covid and actually sing again. It’s a little harder Après-C, but the joy, oh the joy. I think the fact that I have so many songs yet to sing is what kept me going for those two weeks, […]
While normally I write a song in a day or two, this one, ‘Would I Lie’ I started writing when u was about 19. It’s been percolating a while. I finished it some 10 years ago, after meeting @aman.mahajan who has a way of completing my thoughts. We recorded it on our album #BangaloreBlues last […]
#GoodMorningHeartache is a melancholy song. I love it. Tomoko Ohno Farnham and Mauro Sereno (@mrsunnybass) make it so easy to sing that I feel I am unduly fortunate. Thanks Ale Rosenblat and Lautaro Luna Binder for putting the sound and video together. Hope you like it. For Sanjay. #ArshiaSattar . . . .#jazzstandard #jazzvocal #jazztrio […]
Akshada Krishnan, piano and Radha Thomas, voice Ladies and gentlemen, jazz is alive and well in Bangalore and not only that, it’s growing. So, so, so happy to be singing #BodyAndSoul this song with Akshada Krishnan, who is one of Aman Mahajan’s stellar students. We met a couple of years ago as she was beginning […]
Recorded this before I was C+ and posting it today for my darling aunt Tiku who would have been 80 today, if she hadn’t left five years ago. #ImAFoolToWantYou is another sad song. I will sing happy songs one day… maybe. Thanks @mrsunnybass, Mauro Sereno and Pasha Karchevsky and Ale Rosenblat and Lautaro Luna Binder […]
Another tune in my quest to sing my heart out. With Michael Molloy and Mauro Sereno stoking the sorrow, it seems like the right type of song for the times. Ale Rosenblatt and Lautaro Luna Binder thanks for the sound and video. We went from #Bangalore to #lombardiitaly and then to #London. Finally we landed […]
