Jaz Dumoz

Song of the Day: satin doll, 1953, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer  #180. 
 

Set #8 has been added to Jaz's Jukebox, now at 120 songs. 

Apparently I neglected to post when Set #7 was added. I probably wanted to space the post out a little from the last SongOfTheDay post and then forgot about it.

The Jaz Dumoz songbook is at 179 songs. The Jaz Dumoz Other (rejects) book is at 19.

Song of the Day: have a little dream on me, 1934, Fats Waller, Phil Baxter, Billy Rose  #179.

Song of the Day: what a difference a day makes, 1934, Maria Grever; 1959, Dinah Washington; #178.

Originally created in 1934 by Mexican songwriter Maria Grever as “cuando vuelva a tu lado” - “when I return to your side”. English lyrics that same year by Stanley Adams, and recorded by the Dorsey Brothers.

Song of the Day: taking a chance on love, 1940, Vernon Duke, Ethel Waters, #177.

This song is from the musical “Little Cabin in the Sky”, the 1st all-black musical on Broadway. The movie is really cute, I greatly enjoyed it.

There is also a 1943 video of this song by Judy Garland & Johnny Mercer for the DoD. They do the 1st go-round, plus an original  go-round I suspect Mercer wrote for the occasion. Go-round === verse, verse, bridge, verse.

Out of business cards again, time for a few more tweaks. Here's the result:

People got confused that my real name wasn't on the cards, so it is now.

Song of the Day: it's a sin to tell a lie, 1936, Fats Waller, #176. 

Added to the Fats Waller project.
