PENNY GOODWYN
LADY DAY AND JOHN COLTRANE
originally played by Gil Scott Heron
Ma non finisce qui.
Ascoltatevi anche il soul-jazz atmosferico di Too Soon You're Old qui sotto. Sarà che da buon intenditore di Scott Heron impazzisco per il flauto, ma qui c'è da spellarsi le mani. Clap, clap, clap.
Altra chicca in uscita a fine novembre su Athens Of The North.
Penny Goodwin grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin singing in church with Al Jarreau, doing weddings, talent competitions and bar mitzvahs. When she left school she started singing in popular mob run clubs such as Alfie's, Sardino's, and King's Four graduating to clubs in Chicago and Caesar's Palace in Vegas. Despite her huge talent only this one studio LP exists, a mix of covers by Marvin Gaye, Gill Scott Heron plus original songs by herself and manager Sy Lefco. The LP also featuring strings by members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and jazz guitar legend Phil Upchurch. One of the great american jazz vocal LP's by Milwaukee's unsung queen of jazz.
