Dimanche 31 janvier 2021

Billy Strayhorn (1915-1967) from the Billy Strayhorn Collection - Library of Congress Washington, D.C.

"Billy Strayhorn compose ce thème en 1941, en référence à l’atmosphère brumeuse et mélancolique du Chelsea Bridge, célèbre pont qui surplombe la tamise à Londres. On dit volontiers que Ravel et Debussy ont influencé la composition de ce morceau à la tonalité impressionniste." Laurent Valero

"Chelsea Bridge, une des première grandes compostions de Billy Strayhorn, pianiste compositeur et arrangeur, recruté par Duke Ellington en 1939 et qui restera à ses côtés jusqu’à sa mort en 1967." Laurent Valero

À réécouter : Repassez-moi l'standard... "Lush Life" composé par le pianiste Billy Strayhorn, entre 1933-1938

Repassez-moi l'standard

59 min

I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do, what to do, what to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue...

...But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known

A foggy day, in London town
Had me low, had me down
I viewed the morning with much alarm
British museum had lost it's charm...

**...**How long I wondered
Could this thing last
But the age of miracles hadn't past
For, suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town
The sun was shining everywhere

For, suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town
The sun was shining everywhere

Everywhere Everywhere Everywhere.
