Jazz, blues and nostalgia, by Sjaak Roodenburg. A treasure hunt in the history of music.
This time, the Palace opens with Peggy Lee in two minds (‘She didn’t say yes’), followed by trombonists Kai Winding & J.J. Johnson (‘This could be the start of something big’).
Spring and sadness battle for precedence with Joost Prinsen in ‘Pas geteerd’ by Hans Dorrestijn.
Also from Dutch soil, singer Sanna van Vliet on her album ‘In Sight’.
From a few generations earlier, Rita Reys on the album she ended her career with: ‘Love me or leave me’.
From the Oscar nominees 1951: ‘A kiss to build a dream on’, ‘Too late now’, ‘In the cool, cool, cool of the evening’.
Then repertoire that was not nominated from ‘An American in Paris’.
And also: Billie Holiday (‘Our love is here to stay’), guitarist Freddie Hubbard (‘Woolafunt’s Lament’), Jimmie Rodgers (‘Blue Yodel no 8’), Peter & Gordon, Paul Whiteman, Dean Martin, Lee Wiley, Debbie Gravitte, Louis Armstrong.
