"In the Gloaming" is an 1877 British song composed by Annie Fortescue Harrison with lyrics taken from a poem by Meta Orred. Orred's poem (of the same title as the song) appeared in her 1874 book Poems.[1] "Gloaming" is a regional dialect term of Scots origin denoting "twilight". The 1877 song, a lament of romantic regret, was very popular in the United States that year[1] and was again popularized in America in the 1910s by a recording made by The American Quartet with Will Oakland."
Just played this again after 4 years! Fantastic - the band has never sounded better than this - Fab rhythm section (sad to see jason no longer plays with TS!) Ewan Bleach brilliant. This is my sort of Jazz!!
In the gloaming, oh my darling, When the lights are dim and low, And the quiet shadows falling, Softly come and softly go. When the winds are sobbing faintly With a gentle unknown woe, Will you think of me and love me, As you did once long ago? In the gloaming, oh my darling, Think not bitterly of me. Though I passed away in silence, Left you lonely, set you free. Though my heart was tossed with longing, What had been could never be. It was best to leave you, thus, dear, Best for you and best for me.
If you aren't familiar with the late 30s Louis Armstrong cut of this song look it up. You'll love it. The Shake 'Em Up Jazz Band, which features top female musicians from New Orleans, also recorded a version recently.
This is a British song composed by Annie F Harrison in 1877. It used as lyrics a poem written by the Scottish poet Meta Caroline Orred in 1874. At the time, both ladies were living near the south coast of England. Annie lived to a great age - almost until the end of World War II. Maybe I unwittingly bumped into her one day. That's quite a thought!
On the contrary, knowledge of the history of the form lends depth and colour to the experience. Wynton Marsalis says it best when he talks about jazz in America and how little we value what jazz says about the nation. If you have not listened to the talk he gave at the Nancy Hanks Arts Lecture, I encourage you to check it out. I cried, too. ruclips.net/video/NSs87xQ9hts/видео.html I look forward to your reaction.
I have sampled moments from the illustrated lecture. But I am not going to watch it right through, as life is too short. I must tell you I once heard on the radio a performance of Haydn's Trumpet Concerto in which the trumpet-player was sensationally good. I wondered who he was. At the end, the announcer said it was Wynton Marsalis. But all this is irrelevant to James's video. Sorry, James.
C'est devenu un cantique protestant (N° 415 du "louange et prière" éditions Delachaux et Niestlé) anglais de R. Saillens (1881). Très bien interprété. Merci James !
Thanks James ! Despite the garish lighting at d.b.a and a bit of crowd noise, this is terrific. I imagine this is one of "Ewan's songs' that TS has learned; and that Shaye was passing the tip bucket. I think I see a bit of a smile from Barnabus as Ewan sings .. Barnabus has a soft spot for old sentimental tunes - wonder if he will sing it one day ?
From watching everyone's body language while Ewan was in New Orleans this year, and from watching older videos when Ewan played with the band, I think he is a personal favorite of the other band members, especially Shaye and Erika. I talked a bit with him between sets and he is a charming fellow besides being a world class musician and and a surprisingly talented singer.
That's seems right to me too. And the feeling is mutual ... leaving ones "work" aside and coughing up a trans-Atlantic round trip ticket says it's important to Ewan too. I imagine he stays with someone in TS. Also, I've watched as he and Craig play ... looks cool to me - and pretty tight on this number. I'm going to see them four times later this month and thru Labor Day .. a big deal for this old guy. I'm a bit envious of you ability to drive over to NO from time to time. Keep the videos coming .. I'm just one of many who are so appreciative !
If you are seeing them four times this month you are indeed fortunate. They won't be back in New Orleans until the middle of September. I plan a trip over then or In October and hope to catch them in an afternoon session at The Maison because the recording conditions are close to ideal for a club. Not as noisy a crowd in mid afternoon and I can be there before the doors open to get a spot close to the bandstand (and no garish lighting like at the d.b.a.....ugh!!!). I may also make a quick trip over either this weekend or next month to catch Shotgun at The Spotted Cat for a Saturday afternoon session for the same reasons.
Sounds great James. I'd love to get see Shotgun and Shake Em Up too. It's half plan, half wishing, but my daughter, granddaughter and I have talked of driving down from Philadelphia next Spring. I'd love to catch TS busking as much as in the clubs. There is a plantation my daughter wants to see, and maybe we would drive over to the new National Memorial for Peace and Justice (lynching) in Montgomery on the way back. School & work schedules as well as finances yet to be determined, but Ivan and you can give me tips once there. I can dream .....
If you are planning a Spring trip you should try to make it to the French Quarter Festival next April 11th through the 14th. More good music than there is time to hear, on the festival stages, in the clubs, and on the street. Contact me if you plan on going. I'll be there!

I'd love to know what Ewan and Barnabus are saying to each other here. Between those two and Erika there are some tender, happy looks. Great to see
Always happy to see Ewan sitting in with TS !!
Best clarinet player they've used.

It was a magical night for sure.
In the gloaming, oh my darling,
When the lights are dim and low,
And the quiet shadows falling,
Softly come and softly go.
When the winds are sobbing faintly
With a gentle unknown woe,
Will you think of me and love me,
As you did once long ago?
In the gloaming, oh my darling,
Think not bitterly of me.
Though I passed away in silence,
Left you lonely, set you free.
Though my heart was tossed with longing,
What had been could never be.
It was best to leave you, thus, dear,
Best for you and best for me.

This is absolutely delightful, thank you for sharing..
the greatest crossover yet!
Simply delightful number beautifully played!
Excellent as always " Living in the gloaming South Scotland"
Thank you very much for this marvelous post. Nice greeting from Germany

You are an invaluable resource, a veritable fount of useful information. Thank you, sir!
....or, as a certain lady close to me prefers to put it, I am a terrible bore!

I can't find any more about this. Can you direct me to it, please?
Great job. Good voice.
Reminds me of my grandparents' piano bench.
FAB, LIKE ALWAYS
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I can't believe this just showed up on my feed after 3 years. I thought I'd heard all the TS RUclips performances. Nope. There's more.
I've got lots more. Subscribe if you haven't. ruclips.net/p/PL-VPmK_-gGrjuJZHcGfYYY7F5CVlOtwjw
