Description

Note: For some unknown reeason, the file no longer plays. I've reposted the song here:
From Daphna: I added in piano and stand-up bass. I really enjoyed the experience. I love the song and think we make an outstanding jazz trio : ) My thanks to Tom for inviting me to play.

From Mcboy: Sounds great!

Lyrics

Maybe I don't know
How the moon began
Its love affair with earth
Maybe I don't know
How the oceans held
The secrets of life's birth

But baby I do know
That there's no other man
Can take me in his arms and be
All the wonders I can see

Maybe I don't know
How the bumblebee
Learned how to fly
Maybe I don't know
How the flowers
Lured that bee into the sky

::Fantastic piano and guitar duet::

But baby I do know
That there's no other man
Can take me in his arms and be
All the wonders I can see

Heaven sends its stardust
Into every night
You and I, we are just
2000° Fahrenheit
When we pass
Dust turns to glass

Maybe I don't know
How a bird can find
Its way back every year
Maybe I don't know
If that bird has got
A lover far and near

But baby I do know
That there's no other man
Can take me in his arms and be
All the wonders I can see

Ed Hannifin said 1450 days ago (December 4th, 2005)

Awfully, awfully, awfully...
...good...

Lovely laid back and in the pocket feel...

The vocal is remarkable. I did that silly thing of reading the lyrics first
and not thinking I'd go for the song... The vocal INHABITS the lyrics,
brings 'em to life, puts a real person in there... Great phrasing...

Not being a super knowledgeable jazz fan, I can only compare to the
bits I've heard of things... the piano tone reminds me of that Les
McCann "Compared To What" from Montreux...

You folks have done a terrific job with this...

drakonis said 1449 days ago (December 5th, 2005)

Awesome collab here!
Very tight little group you got here... Daphne's wonderfully fitting
piano/bass playing jazz, Mcboy's/Alley-oop's beautiful guitar work,
and of course, Joanna's fun lyrics and great sultry voice, all come
together to be perfect... there's only one thing missing in this... I
actually expected to hear, as the song faded, a huge round of applause
from the crowd! This actually sounded live to me. Wonderful job you
all did! Faved/DLed!
ttfn,
Drakonis

	So when is this group going to play a club near me? Cool live feel. The musicianship and voice make me think of dark, smoke filled halls, and alcohol. And lots of people moving their heads in time to the music. Check out my latest song called Vainglorious

	Unequivocal lesson plan for love Joanna: I like the scatting....buzzabuzza. You sing with absolute surety. I love the contour of your voice... like finest coarse wheat, not overprocessed, teeming with natural minerals and vitamins. Daphna and McBoy also play with absolute surety. You make a splendid trio. It's like I'm there, enjoying a live performance, front and center.

Boris the Bull said 1394 days ago (January 29th, 2006)

thoughts from the bull
i've been listening to this song since i got a sneak preview before its
release (lucky me!!!). i missed the posting to MacJams and upon my
return, i came to this page first.

there's not much more to say about the song that hasn't already been
said. in my opinion, this may arguably be the finest song i've come
across in any online music community. it's that good.

thought you've dabbled in several genres, which in their own right are
wonderful, it is clear to me that the smokey jazz lounge genre is right
where you are at home. it's a rare place to be, too... reserved only for
those with enough life experience, hardened passion, and the
intolerance for the lesser side of life.

a pure achievement from everyone's contributions, and a masterpiece
on all levels, in my opinion. congratulations on this to you all, but for
you joanna for giving it your smoove groove.
