Jazz à Gogo - Cab Calloway, Fats Waller, Lena Horne, Louis Armstrong, The Mills Brothers, The Andrews Sisters... Jazz can be a true delight, the music is timeless. From Cab Calloway to Fats Waller, from Gene Krupa to Lena Horne, from Louis Armstrong joking with the Mills brothers to Red Garland, from the Andrews Sisters to Tommy Dorsey, they all entertained the crowds over the years. The sound is laid back but fresh, the atmosphere is optimistic and enduring." http://amzn.to/KtFHXE http://bit.ly/1aBxr27 00:00 - Cab Calloway - Jumpin' Jive 04:34 - Lena Horne & Bill Robinson - I Can't Give You Anything But Love 07:34 - Fats Waller - Ain't Misbehavin' 11:32 - The Andrews Sisters - Rum & Coca-Cola 14:45 - Lena Horne - Diga Diga Do 18:44 - James P Johnson - Over the Bars 21:12 - Cab Calloway & The Tramp Band - Linda Brown 24:53 - Fats Waller & Ada Brown - That Ain't Right 27:54 - Louis Jordan - Open the door Richard 30:58 - Bill Robinson - Ain't That Something? 32:13 - Gene Krupa & Anita O' Day - Let Me Off Uptown 35:18 - Charlie Barnet - Skyliner 38:17 - The Fontane Sisters -- Walkin' the Floor Over You 41:00 - Red Garland - Lover 46:15 - Eddie Jefferson - Body and Soul 49:48 - Tommy Dorsey & Helen Forrest - Jamboree 51:58 - Tommy Dorsey & Helen Forrest - Mary Had a Little Lamb 54:47 - Ahmad Jamal - Tangerine 57:32 - The Mills Brothers & Louis Armstrong - Flat Floot Floogie 01:00:36 - Count Basie & Tony Bennett - I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plans 01:02:20 - Artie Shaw - Dancin' In the Dark 01:05:24 - Woody Herman - Montmartre Bus Ride - JazzAndBluesExperience - SUBSCRIBE HERE : http://bit.ly/10VoH4l (Re)Discover the Jazz and Blues greatest hits - JazznBluesExperience is your channel for all the best jazz and blues music.

Syracuse 2015-03-26Lena Mary Calhoun Horne (June 30, 1917 – May 9, 2010) was an American singer, actress, civil rights activist and dancer.
Horne joined the chorus of the Cotton Club at the age of sixteen and became a nightclub performer before moving to Hollywood, where she had small parts in numerous movies, and more substantial parts in the films Cabin in the Sky and Stormy Weather. Due to the Red Scare and her left-leaning political views, Horne found herself blacklisted and unable to get work in Hollywood.
Returning to her roots as a nightclub performer, Horne took part in the March on Washington in August 1963, and continued to work as a performer, both in nightclubs and on television, while releasing well-received record albums. She announced her retirement in March 1980, but the next year starred in a one-woman show, Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music, which ran for more than three hundred performances on Broadway and earned her numerous awards and accolades. She continued recording and performing sporadically into the 1990s, disappearing from the public eye in 2000.
MANDOLIN RAIN
Bruce Hornsby & the Range
The song came and went
Like the times that we spent
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
I laughed and she'd smile
It would last for awhile
You don't know what you got till you lose it all again
CHORUS:
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
A cool evening dance
Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
>From the air till they play the last song
I'll do my time
Keeping you off my mind but there's moments
That I find, I'm not feeling too strong
CHORUS
Running down by the lakeshore
She did love the sound of a summer storm
It played on the lake like a mandolin
Now it's washing her away once again
CHORUS
The boat's steaming in
I watch the sidewheel spin and I
Think about her when I hear that whistle blow
I can't change my mind
I knew all the time that she'd go
But that's a choice I made long ago
CHORUS
Look Out Any Window
Bruce Hornsby
(Scenes From The Southside)
There's a man working in a field
Sees the rain and it's burning.
He's saying this can't be real
As he sees the color of the fields turning.
Far away, the men too busy getting rich to care
Close their eyes and let it all out into the air
Hoping nobody else would care
Look out any window
Look out any open door
Look out any window
See what's going on in the world around you
There's a man working on a boat
Pulling lines from the water
Just trying to stay afloat
Filling the nets is getting harder
Far away, they bend the rules so secretly
Close their eyes and let it all out into the sea
Hoping nobody else would see
Look out any window
Look out any open door
Look out any window
See what's going on in the air around you
Far away too many leaders let them get their way
Close their eyes and let it all out into the bay
Say they'll clear it up another day
Look out any window
Look out any open door
Look out any window
See that's going on in the air around you
Look out
Look out for the big boys telling you everything they're gonna do
Look out
Look out for the fat cat builder man turning this into a waste land
Look out
Look out for the back room boys that say the smoke is gonna blow away
Look out
Look out for the men who say it's okay sitting in a building far away
Way out here, working on the docks
Everyone sees the long day through
Well what would I do without the nights and the phone
And the chance just to talk to you
What wouldn't I do now...
Just to talk to you
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
Little relief in sight
Someday when times weren't so tight
CHORUS
When the day goes down on the water town
When the sun sinks low all around
That's when I know I need you now
You're what I miss
Every little kiss
Every little one, oh, every little one
Everybody here's a number, not a name
But I guess that's all right with me
As I sit alone after a long day
In the absence of company
Oh I let my mind wander...
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
Little relief in sight
Someday when times weren't so tight
CHORUS
It's gonna rain any minute
There's not a star in sight
Things are mighty slow
I guess, I'll close up shop
And go home to Joe
I know he won't be glad to see me
Without a penny to the good
But I'm not carin' much what happens
I did the best I could
He's just good-for-nothin' Joe
But, oh, I love him so
Guess, I'd die if good-for-nothin' Joe
Ever tried to leave me flat
Oh yes, I'm certain of that
Folks I know can't understand
Why I must have that man
Lord, he sends me like nobody can
Ain't a woman just like that?
I wouldn't mind doin' what I'm doin'
I'd beat these streets till my feet were sore
But when it's slow and I go home to him
Instead of sympathy, he's just as mean as can be
Still there's nothin' I can do
Because I love him so
I'd be good for nothin' too, I know
Without good-for-nothin' Joe
I'd be good for nothin' too, I know
Without good-for-nothin' Joe
I've go rythym
I got music
I got my man who could ask for anything more?
I got dasies in green pastures
I got my man who could ask for anything more?
i got rhythm i-i-i-i-i-i-i got music
(Mix)
Got rythym got rythym got rythym
got rythym got rythym
1-2-3-4
Who can dance with us
Or who could stand with us
Look at us tonight we lookin' fabulous
freshed it up to def and we just movin
out on the town puttin on our dance shoes
and one foot in and one foot out sexy salsa whats
that all about? now listen as i take you back
to old schoolin like Lena Horne all that cast
was coolin'
MC the lead you know i can't take it when that young thang like to shake it shake it shake it when she move forward and back that thing up an i gotta be the point and live on somethin
i got music
Cause my hood is greazyy you know it ain't easy but for tonight gonna be alright
From this moment on,
You for me dear,
Only two for tea dear,
From this moment on,
From this happy day,
No more blue songs,
Only hoop-de-doo songs,
From this moment on
You've got the love I need so much
Got the skin I love to touch
Got the arms to hold me tight
Got the sweet lips to kiss me goodnight
From this moment on
You and I babe
We'll be ridin' high babe
Every care is gone
From this moment on.
(Musical Break)
You've got the love I need so much
Got the skin I love to touch
Got the arms to hold me tight
Got the sweet lips to kiss me goodnight
From this moment on
You and I babe
We'll be ridin' high babe
Every care is gone
From this moment,
From this moment,
This very moment,
You look at me and wonder
You look at me and doubt
Darling, your eyes are asking
?Will the flame burn out??
No one is sure of sunshine
No one is sure of dawn
But I am sure
My love will live on and on!
I'll be tired of you
When stars are tired of gleaming
When I am tired of dreaming
Then I'll be tired of you!
This I know is true
When winds are tired of blowing
When grass is tired of growing
Then I'll be tired of you
Beyond the years till day is night
Till wrong is right, till birds refuse to sing
Beyond the years the echo of my only love
Will still be whispering, whispering!
If my throbbing heart
Should ever start repeating
That it is tired of beating
Just across Tomorrow Mountain
There?s a happy city, they say
Where the people are grand and time is planned
So it?s Christmas everyday
?Neath the scotch and soda fountain
There?s a treat in store for us guys
Under cigarette trees, we?ll take our ease
While the cops fan off the flies
There you will be a lucky sinner
With no conscience for your guide
Each horse you pick will be a winner
And the doors of every bank are open wide
Far across Tomorrow Mountain
There?s a life that's fancy and free
On a platinum street we?ll plant our feet
It?s the land that?s fair to see
Won?t you hurry there with me?
Just across Tomorrow Mountain
Every girl is Queen of the May
And the kitchens, I?m told are lined with gold
And there ain?t no bills to pay
Can?t you cross that distant mountain
Where it rains Chanel No.5?
And the gutters, I think are paved with mink
And the diamond bushes thrive
Pigs trot around already roasted
Won?t you have a slice of ham?
Marshmallows bloom, already toasted
And the clouds are made of marmalade and jam
Can?t you see Tomorrow Mountain?
Can?t you watch it glimmer and glow?
It?s a wonderful town that?s upside down
And it?s full of easy dough
The Way It Is
Bruce Hornsby & The Range
Standing in line marking time-
Waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't buy a job
The man in the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor ladies' eyes
Just for fun he says "get a job"
CHORUS
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
But don't you believe them
They say he little boy you can't go
Where the others go
'Cause you don't look like they do
Said hey old man how can you stand
To think that way
Did you really think about it
Before you made the rules
He said, Son
CHORUS
Well they passed a law in '64
To give those who ain't got a little more
But it only goes so far
Because the law don't change another's mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar
CHORUS
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there, one wonderful day,
You took my heart, and threw it away;
That's why I ask the Lord, in heaven above,
What is this thing called love?
I saw you there, one wonderful day,
You took my heart, and threw it away;
That's why I ask the Lord, in heaven above,
