BOM DIA ... UNION STATION !

 


Ontem assisti "Union Station" (Rastro Sangrento, Brasil) um thriller noir de baixo orçamento que foi estrelado por William Holden em seguida ao clássico "Crepúsculo dos Deuses" de Billy Wilder.

A ação se passa na Union Station (de L.A) e no antigo sistema de túneis de Chicago, co-estrelado por  Nancy Olson que trabalhou com Holden em Crepúsculo. A loira Jan Sterling (Montanha 7 abutres) faz uma ponta como a garota do sequestrador.

Dirigido por Rudolph Mate, (um diretor de fotografia) que fez um bom trabalho, criando suspense em cada cena filmada na grande estação, até o desfecho final nos subterrâneos dos túneis de serviço.

BOA TARDE ... ANITA O'DAY !

 ( Kansas City, October 18, 1919 – November 23, 2006)





Das grandes cantoras, Anita O'Day é a quem tem a voz mais sexy, na minha opinião ...

Esse é meu disco favorito dela, onde é acompanhada pelo quarteto do genial Oscar Peterson

Adoro "Old Devil Moon", que é mais conhecida pela versão de Chet Baker, mas na interpretação de O'Day é um arraso !!!!!

Cada vez que escuto esse CD coloco o player no repeat e fico escutando por horas ...

Anita O'Day – vocals

Oscar Peterson – piano

Herb Ellis – guitar

Ray Brown – double bass

John Poole – drums

Milt Holland – drums


The reasons I think this 1957 gem is one of her best are her backing ensemble, choice of songs and the session's white hot energy.

Backing Ensemble: Many of Anita's mid-50s albums for Verve, starting with her (and the label's) inaugural 'Anita' released in 1955, were backed by larger ensembles. Orchestras, actually. This one featured the original Oscar Peterson line-up (Oscar on piano, Ray Brown on bass and Herb Ellis on guitar), plus Anita's favorite drummer and decades-long companion and partner-in-crime, John Poole. Milt Holland, an extraordinary multi-instrumentalist, added percussion on some tracks.

Choice of Songs: From the first medley, S'Wonderful/They Can't Take That Away From Me, Anita proves that she can sing at blazing fast tempos, then downshift into a slower tempo seamlessly and smoothly. Oscar's own penchant for fast tempos that would bedevil most drummers and bassists for decades, was unable to shake her. Even on Them There Eyes - performed at a tempo that would have left any other vocalist in the dust - Anita is right there with Oscar every note. Her tempo range is incredible, as evidenced by her beautiful rendition of Bewitched (one of my all time favorite songs and one by which I judge a vocalist's ability to sing a ballad.)

My only complaint is the album is too short. By 1957 standards it was about the right length for an LP, but by today's standards it will leave you wanting more. Of course, Anita and Oscar Peterson (and the other musicians) energetic performance on the album may have something to do with that too.

BOA NOITE ... R.I.P. SLY STONE !

  (Dallas, March 15, 1943 – June 9, 2025)




Ouvindo agora no volume máximo ...SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE !

"I Want to Take You Higher"








I doubt many of the half million people at Woodstock had ever attended a show that had an act come on at 3:30 AM, but that’s when Sly and the Family Stone took the stage. And they took the crowd as well!

They’d only be on stage about 52 minutes, but what an amazing 52 minutes they were.










BOM DIA ... TRIANON PIANO'S BAR !
