JAZZ STANDARD BLUE BOSSA BY DUCTUS JHONY - VIBES WEB3 MUSIC OMPTITION WEEK#43
Hello Vibes community, I'm Jhony, I'm happy to be part of this team and to be able to share my art with you. For my first video I chose a standard (a name given to a standard performed by many artists). I wanted to share this song with you because I really like the tranquility it conveys and it was also one of the first jazz compositions I ever heard. It's a very beautiful song called Blue Bossa, a jazz composition by Kenny Dorham (USA), a mix of hard bop and bossa nova. It is said that the melody was influenced by Dorham's visit to Rio de Janeiro for a jazz festival. At first it had no lyrics but later it was written in English by jazz singer, composer and writer Joan Cartwright. I hope you like it as much as I do.
Hola comunidad de Vibes soy Jhony, estoy feliz de formar parte de este equipo y poder compartir el arte con ustedes. Para mi primer video escogí un standard (denominación que recibe tras ser ejecutado por muchos artistas) quise dejarles aquí este tema porque me gusta mucho la tranquilidad q transmite y ademàs fue una de las primeras composiciones del jazz que escuché, es un tema bien bonito llamado Blue Bossa,composición de jazz de Kenny Dorham (EE.UU) una mezcla de hard bop y bossa nova, se dice que la melodía estuvo influenciada por la visita de Dorham a Río de Janeiro en un festival de jazz. En sus inicios no tuvo letra pero tiempo después fue creada en inglés por la cantante, compositora y escritora de jazz Joan Cartwright, espero que les guste tanto como a mi…
Letra:
A place inside my heart is where you live
Memories of our start, the love you give
Days when we're alone and you are in my heart
The blueness of the trueness of our love
Nights of moonlit skies, a gentle kiss
Something in your eyes fills me with bliss
Hold me in your arms, and then I will recall
The blueness of the trueness of our love
The thought of how we met still lingers on
How could I forget that magic dawn?
All the warm desire, the fire in your touch
The blueness of the trueness of our love
