Picture this: It's the night of your cousin's big wedding. After you walk down the aisle and say “yes,” it’s time to stop by the front desk. After everyone has received their glass of champagne or other various cocktails, the DJ enters the stage. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he announces, “it is time to announce the wedding party. » He goes through the entire list of people and stops right after. the bride and groom are announced. “And now the newlyweds would like to do a special dance!” » It's time for the first dance; something they have been waiting for all their lives. When the song starts playing you start to recognize the bass and piano, then suddenly when the singer starts you instantly realize what it is. It's Norah Jones' "Come Away With Me," one of the most popular early dance songs of all time. It’s these feelings and images of life and love that endure throughout Norah Jones’ debut album. Whether in front of a fire in the winter or at a Sunday brunch with the family, Come Away With Me is an album that would be perfect for many occasions. . With its somewhat melancholy tone and romantic, nostalgic lyrics, you get a feeling of elegance without any schmaltz. Norah Jones' album Come Away With Me is a revolutionary album not only for her, but also for jazz music. Evoking a combination of folk, blues, pop and of course jazz, this album is an incredible feat of vocals and instrumentation. Norah Jones assured that phrasing and timing are things often found in singers of the past, combining artists like Billie Holiday and Nina Simone, while still maintaining a unique sound. With her soft and serene sound, you always get the impression that she's not joking. She has this bite that lets us know she is a singer like no other...... middle of paper ...... she is the best, hence the name Gershwin Plays Gershwin. One track from the album stands out in a very different way from the others. This is an unusual piece from 1933, as it is a rendition for two pianos of "An American in Paris" that lasts over 16 minutes and was not arranged by Gershwin, but rather by Frank Milne. Gershwin's original composition was an orchestral arrangement using typical orchestral instruments as well as a saxophone, celesta, and automobile horns. However, the version on this album is one of the only piano versions, and what a good version it is. Overall, Gershwin Plays Gershwin: The Piano Scrolls is a wonderful album filled with unique and obscure George Gershwin recordings. These songs are brilliant jazz piano works that evoke the zeitgeist and showcase exactly what George Gershwin does best. This is definitely an album worth exploring.
