I found a fantastic album tonight, and it's a good 'un. It's by Massimo Faraó, and it's a great collection of cartoon tunes played in the jazz idiom; "Cartoons In Jazz". I really love the Batman Theme, but the whole album is very funky. Also check out "Someday My Prince Will Come", one of my favourite standards.
Just one track to check out here; "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2. I just love this tune so much! I only found out what this song was tonight, I've spent years with this song stuck in my head! And yes, I do realise the Batman theme popping up here...
If you want another amazing Batman song... "Kiss From A Rose". Listened to this tonight after watching this amazing video of Jack Black -> YouTube.
My next choice for tonight's blog was brought about watching one of my favourite videos on YouTube -> Phil Driscoll's God Rest Ye. If you've never heard of this guy, he's an American preacher/singer/trumpet player. In my opinion, he's up there in the jazz trumpet greats. I will admit though, he has got some dodgy videos on YouTube, but yet again, everyone does. I find it so hard to believe that it's a Christian band turning this stuff out, considering the amount of bias out there that Christian musicians aren't as good. Just check it out. Then listen to just how freakin tight this guy is on this track -> Capital J.
That should keep you occupied for the next few minutes anyway :p
But ladies and gents,
'til next time...
Thanks ~ The Jazzbone
