The Jazz Dream Duo: "The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album"

Introduction: In the pantheon of jazz, collaborations between vocalists and instrumentalists can yield some of the most magical moments in the genre’s history. One such partnership that stands out is the collaboration between Tony Bennett, a seasoned vocalist renowned for his interpretations of the Great American Songbook, and Bill Evans, a jazz pianist with an introspective, sensitive touch.…

Monica nació en 1937 en Hagfors, Suecia. Con una voz que trascendía épocas y una inmensa brillantez musical, se convirtió en un faro para los demás a mediados del siglo XX, dejando una huella inolvidable en el mundo del jazz.

El camino de Monica hacia el estrellato comenzó en la década de 1950. No tardó en ser aclamada por su capacidad única para fusionar el jazz tradicional con influencias folclóricas suecas.

Su colaboración con músicos internacionales legendarios como Bill Evans, Stan Getz, Thad Jones, Mel Lewis y Zoot Sims demuestra su adaptabilidad y atractivo mundial.

Miles Davis la apreciaba mucho...

El legado de Monica Zetterlund va mucho más allá de su época, ya que su influencia sigue resonando entre artistas contemporáneos y entusiastas por igual.

Su voz es como una melodía atemporal que resuena por los pasillos del jazz, cautivando para siempre los corazones de los afortunados que han experimentado la magia de su música.

[swedish-songs]

One of the best things about living in Sweden, are the long, light summer nights. A song that perfectly captures this is Sakta vi gå genom stan (Slowly strolling through town), a free translation by Swedish entertainer Beppe Wolgers of the jazz song "Walkin' My Baby Back Home". The Swedish version is about taking a stroll home through Stockholm on a warm summer night.

It was recorded by one of Swedens most famous jazz singers of all time, Monica Zetterlund, in 1961. Zetterlund was a vaudeville performer, a jazz performer, a stage and movie actress. She also performed with a range of world-famous jazz musicians such as Bill Evans, Louis Armstrong and Stan Getz. Together with Bill Evans, she released the album Waltz for Debbie in 1964.

Sakta vi gå genom stan became a huge hit in Sweden when it was released and has been ever since. Radio Stockholm dubbed it the no.1 song about Stockholm. I found a video of "Amerikanen reacts to svenska klassiker", a Youtube series where youtuber Jonathan Rollins reacts to Swedish hits. The song has been played so many times it almost feels cliché at this point, but watching someone else hear it for the first time made it feel brand new to me!

This is only relevant to Swedes, but here is Harry Belafonte with Monica Zetterlund and Hasse & Tage!

Propaganda

Laurence Olivier (Hamlet, Rebecca, Pride and Prejudice)—Any reference article will tell you that he's one of the finest stage actors of the 20th century and (arguably) contributed to transforming the landscape of live theater in the Anglophone world. But this is the Tumblr hot men poll, where it is arguably more important to know that he was an incredibly charming bi disaster who eye-fucked Vivien Leigh so conspicuously that everyone talked about it, both before and after their marriage. I do not have words for how hot this man was. I once sat under a portrait of him in black velvet and tights in the NPG cafeteria, and let me tell you I remember that so much better than my sandwich. I listened to a recording of him as Coriolanus on stage and got full-body chills. I photographed his copy of Richard III in the Folger Shakespeare Library for the sake of seeing his handwriting and his thoughts. ...okay, so I may have a problem, but the point is. So hot. And delivered one of the iconic pre-1970 lines about bisexuality on film ("oysters *and* snails," Spartacus 1963.)

Harry Belafonte (Carmen Jones, Island in the Sun)—one of my favorite things in the world when I'm sad is kicking back and listening to him and Danny Kaye singing "Hava Nagila" together. Or who can forget this man singing the Banana Boat song with the Muppets?? immensely talented, a powerful fighter for civil rights and humanitarian causes his whole life, if you have any remaining doubts PLEASE look at the following pics [clips and pics attached below]

This is round 3 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut]

Harry Belafonte propaganda:

"Now let me say this about the songs of the Caribbean - almost all black music is deeply rooted in metaphor. The only way that we could speak to the pain and anguish of our experiences was often through how we codified our stories in the songs that we sang. And when I sing the 'Banana Boat Song,' the song is a work song. It's about men who sweat all day long, and they are underpaid, and they're begging the tallyman to come and give them an honest count - counting the bananas that I've picked, so I can be paid. And sometimes, when they couldn't get money, they'll give them a drink of rum. There's a lyric in the song that says, 'Work all night on a drink of rum.' People sing and delight and dance and love it, but they don't really understand unless they study the song that they're singing a work song, a song of rebellion." -Harry Belafonte

Laurence Olivier propaganda:

"THEE actor man. You can't take theater classes and not know about this man. THEE Hamlet. Look at this lil blondie. VERY talented. (we are ignoring him also playing Othello, no he should not have done that) He was a pretty baby"

#176

Ny vecka, nytt veckobrev? Ja varför inte, vi kör.

Såg Nosferatu förra veckan, tyckte den var bra. Lily Rose Depp är fett bra på att låstas vara besatt och filmen var så fint ljussatt. Den gick lite fort fram för min smak, stark 6,5/10. 7/10 om jag är på bra humör.

Dragspelandet har gått bra. Nu kan jag typ spela fattig bonddräng, det är bara bastonerna som ska på plats också. Sen jävlar blir det åka av (är det så man säger?).

Blev många bi-grejer i bilderna idag? Ingen anledning mer än att det var fint. Har varit väldigt fotosugen på senaste också. Hare fint!

Låten idag blir "Monicas vals - Monica Zetterlund" för den är så mysig och ger mig lite vårkänslor och det tycker jag att vi förtjänar nu efter livets längsta januari.

Den prisbelönta sångerskan Annika Fehling släpper nytt!

Den gotländska sångerskan och kompositören Annika Fehling släpper sin nya singel Iller den 14 februari 2025. Singeln är en försmak av hennes kommande album Barndomsland, som släpps den 26 februari på SFM Records. Albumet innehåller låtar på svenska som utforskar barndomens magi och upptäckter.

Annika Fehling beskriver Iller som en vacker och rättfram tillbakablick på den första stora kärleken, en upplevelse många kan relatera till, särskilt på Alla hjärtans dag. Med sin mjuka, berättande stämma och Ludvig Olins produktion skapar hon ett melodiskt poplandskap fyllt av färgstarka bilder. Christer Jonasson Tolvs inslag av nylon-strängad gitarr och lap-steel ger låten en autentisk och känslosam touch.

De senaste åren har Annika turnerat och spelat intensivt med sina två konstellationer Annika Fehling Trio - AFT och Glimra (Två Ainbuskar & en Fehling). Under tiden har hon också jobbat på nytt material på svenska, och nu är det releasedags!

Låtarna handlar om allt från din första allierade - "Nallen" - till den första kyssen "Iller", eller till att bli hänförd av ett tivoli "Sockervaddsvals" eller av en stor metropol, "Lite Längre Bort". 

"Barndomsland är en svit sånger, som handlar om att få komma tillbaka till en plats, där världen är förunderlig. Att bli uppfylld och se, och återuppleva saker som du gjorde för första gången. Jag hoppas att kunna påminna lyssnaren om - denna förmåga som vi alla har, men som vi kanske glömt bort." säger Annika Fehling

Annika Fehling är en gotländsk singer/songwriter, sångerska och kompositör som har turnerat världen runt och spelat på många scener och festivaler. Hon har släppt 14 album och utsågs till Region Gotlands Kulturpristagare 2019. Annika är också initiativtagare till Visbyfestivalen, Club Acoustic, Musik & Poesifesten, Gotland International Songwriters Retreat och håller kurser. Hon är medlem i Annika Fehling Trio (AFT) och spelar även i trion GLIMRA.

Annika Fehling har delat scen med internationella artister som José Gonzales, Monica Zetterlund, David Olney och många fler, och har spelat på prestigefyllda scener som Blue Bird Café i Nashville och Kerrville Festival i Texas. Hennes musik finns tillgänglig på Spotify och digitala plattformar, både solo och med sina grupper.

På albumet Barndomsland har Annika arbetat med producenterna Ludvig Olin ("Iller"), Patrick Rydman ("Nallen") och Robert Wahlström ("Lite Längre Bort, "Sockervaddsvals" och "Oktoberbarn")

Medverkande musiker:

Annika Fehling - sång, backing vocals, gitarr

Christer Jonasson Tolv - gitarr och lapsteel 

Robert Wahlström - piano

Patrick Rydman - gitarr, keyboard 

Ludvig Olin - keyboards och programmering

Emeli Jeremias - Cello
