Friday Night Jazz with Reuben Jackson; 2017-04-21, Hour 1

Gosh. Well, hello there, and welcome to another edition of Friday Night Jazz.

Here on Vermont Public Radio, I'm Rubin Jackson, your host, Happy Friday. You know the drill, right? We're playing music from now until 11 o'clock. Friday Night Jazz on VPR is made possible by Ellis Music of Bethover Mott, specializing in sales, service, and rental of musical instruments to schools and individuals throughout New England. Playing the program, quoting a piece from a poem by the last poets, in the beginning was the word and the word was bird, bird, of course, Charlie Parker. From the complete Charlie Parker on Verve, we started with because I had to do it.

Another month-based composition, Vernon Duke's April in Paris, Charlie Parker with Strings at the Apollo Theater. Getting us underway for another edition of Friday Night Jazz on VPR Welcome. Stay comfortable, because we're just getting started. One more by Charlie Parker here in our one Charlie Parker and his orchestra with Rogers in Hearts, Lover. So I can't wait to have that addition. .

. . . . . . . . One more recording by Charlie Parker here in the first hour of Friday Night Jazz.

On Vermont Public Radio with Rubin Jackson, and I would love this reading of Rogers and Hearts Lover, even if it didn't have a quote from Rubin, Rubin, I've been thinking. Charlie Parker announced a saxophone and his orchestra and lover. On the 25th of this month, we will officially celebrate the 100th birthday of one Ella Fitzgerald born in Newport News, Virginia in 1917. Happy 100th birthday, timeless music, of course. We've been doing this often since the beginning of the calendar year, actually starting in the fall of 2016, because is there enough Ella Fitzgerald? I think not. Hope you feel the same way. We're going to start a set of, it's called it pre-birthday, Ella Fitzgerald, timeless music, birthday specific, but, you know, Ella is forever like Ellington and so many other people affiliated with this music, we will begin the set with music from the Cole Porter song book volume one, and we'll listen to from this moment on.

From this moment on, you for me dear, only to for dear, from this moment on. From this happy day, no more blue songs, only hope to do songs, from this moment on. For 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 good night, from this moment on, you and I babe, we'll be right in high

babe, every care is gone, from this moment on. From this happy day, no more blue songs, only hope to do songs, from this moment on. For 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 good night, from this moment on, you and I babe, we'll be right in high babe, every care is gone, from this moment on. On the first of May, it is moving day, spring is here so blow your job, throw your job away.

Now's the time to trust, to your wanderlust, in the city's dust you wait, must you wait, just you wait. In a mountain greenery where God paints the scenery just to crazy people together. While you love your lover, let blue skies be your cover let wet it, rains will laugh at the weather, and if you're good, I'll search for wood so you can cook. While I stand looking, things could get no key in a reception, and the binary bless our mountain greenery home.

Mosquitoes here won't bite you dear, I'll let them sting me on the finger, we could find no cleaner retreat from life's machinery that are mountain greenery home. Love her when I'm near you, and I hear you speak my name, softly in my ear you breathe a flame. Love her when we're dancing, keep on glancing in my eyes till love's own and tracing music dies.

All of my future is in your every plan I desire, promise you always continue to be mine. Love her please be tender when your tender fears depart, love her I surrender to my heart. Love her tomorrow, but why quarrel with our bliss?

When two lips of carol want to kiss, I say the devil isn't you, and to resist you I try. But if it didn't continue I would die. Love her when you're tender fears depart, love her I surrender to my heart.

Three by Ella Fitzgerald here in our one of Friday night jazz on VPR with Ruben Jackson again, Ella Jane Fitzgerald born April 25th 1917 in Newport News, Virginia, we concluded the set with music from the Rogers and Heart Song book. And we heard mountain greenery before that we listened to her version of Rogers and Heart's lover and we started that set with from this moment on. I'm going to hear a few new releases up next starting with the most recent by the jazz passengers. It's called still life with trouble now if you listen to this show you know I'm interested in sharing well much music with you but especially music which I think keeps the continuum alive and in this case the continuum is the American popular song.

Now admittedly this is my definition and I think that it includes people like Rogers and Heart of course and Jerome Kern and folks of that nature but popular song has not gone away and it always makes me feel happy. Maybe you too when you hear jazz based ensembles continuing to look at fine music that has come last even 30 or 40 years. So with that in mind again the jazz passengers from their latest still life with trouble this is their reading of a piece done by the group the main ingredient back in the day called everybody plays the fool. Yeah that's right it's the way of this world just the broken heart way of this world today graze your window today you're the ones sitting around open today you're crying crying. I hear you're even thinking about dying but before you do anything rash deep this everybody plays the fool sometimes there's no exception to the rule.

There's no guarantee that the one you love is going to love you. I see a certain person you can never be love and stick with it in your shape because you're mine with emotion.
