DJANGO REINHARDT: IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHTThis 1937 recording from Paris features Stephane Grappelli on violin with Django doing his jazzy best on guitar. The approach is straight blues.

Did you catch Ella’s three performances from last night? Each one was different.

My Mom and Aunt were great fans of nelson Eddy, and through his “fan club” became friends with Rudi Giuliani.
Just one of those little weird factoids of my life! LOL!

I know that Rudy has always been an opera fanatic, but I didn’t know he was also a fan of Nelson Eddy.

JO STAFFORD: IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHTThis 1948 recording takes a different approach. Its neither operatic nor a light dance band number. There are elements of the Big Band approach, but Jos voice soars above them.

Evidently the NYC chapter of the Nelson Eddy Fan Club was an “Opera” fan club as well.
Back in the days before VCRs, my Dad would get 16mm projectors and turn our living room into a movie theater. We saw all the Eddy movies. My favorite was “Balalaika” with Ilona Massey. It had a recreation of the famous WW1 “Silent Night Truce”.

Yes...even in the midst of frozen pipes, seized-up heating systems, 20 below windchill, and doggie diarrhea, I managed to catch Ella’s three performances.
I was worth it! LOL!

ELLA FITZGERALD: IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHTThe First Lady of Song traversed the Cole Porter songbook in 1956, and this recording has her backed by Buddy Bregman. Its a dance band arrangement, and Ellas voice is perfect.

ROSALIE
DION & THE BELMONTS: IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT Ask any Baby Boomer about this song, and hell say, Didnt those guys from the Bronx record this back in 60? Dion DiMuccis first love was the blues, but in his early doo-wop days he and his group worked in a number of styles. They put a good Fifties dance floor finish on the tune. Right after this, Dion left the group and went solo.

PERRY COMO: IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHTWhat makes a song successful is its ability to transcend genres. This video from Perrys 1961 TV show on NBC is dark and moody, quite different from previous versions. The production is a bit overblown, but the song isnt lost in it.

ROSALIE
ROSEMARY CLOONEY: IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT Rosemary tackled the Great American Songbook in the Eighties, and her Cole Porter work comes from 1982. This is a totally different approach, an up-tempo small jazz club arrangement that is a throwback to the Fifties. The solos from her sidemen in the middle are killers.
