The very thought of you I forget to do Those little ordinary things That everyone ought to do I'm livin' in a kind of a daydream I'm happy as a queen And foolish though it may seem To me that's everything The mere idea of you The longing here for you You'll never know How slow the moments go Till I'm near to you I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above It's just the thought of you, The very thought of you, my love
Did you hear that??!!! The silence??!! Soon after she began to sing... The whole bustle and murmuring ceased!! Nothing but the faint glassware was heard! I've NEVER experienced that! Usually there always polite whispered chatter a few tables in the back, or something along those lines... But when kat sings, the whole place stops! Love!
Oh Kat, please come back to the Ramshead in Annapolis. I had to miss your performance there and so regret it. Your voice and material haunt me and lift my soul- or put it in the hopper, depending
Just saw here for the first time on Austin City Limits. Sings like Billie Holiday. Writes like Cole Porter. Looks like Mia Farrow circa 1967. Sign me up. Kat's got my tongue.
The audio quality isn't fantastic but that's sorta to be expected. She's freakin' awesome though, huh. I've played her first two albums to death and am looking forward to getting the 3rd (should be available any day now)
what's with the "Loony toons" reinterpretation of this great ballad by the pianist? Sounds like a pianist more accustomed to accompanying Keystone Cops silent movie, swallowed a jazz chord lexicon. Half-expecting "Sylvester" (he of "I tot i taw a poody tat" fame) to come dancing out from the wings, arms linked up with bugs bunny, twizzling canes and waving straw-boaters, to take us out with a grand vaudevillian finale. Hilarious, if it didn't so tragically demolish Cat's sincere attempt to express something meaningful and dignified. These two do not belong together, at least not on the same stage. Poor poody Cat :(
Dave Mills While you are becoming known for lame troll posts of YT videos, Edmonson is signed to Sony Masterworks, she's performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, and toured all over the world.
Hey Markus.... right you are. Dave the Dork displays his ignorance of the idiom and the history of this kind of singing every time he posts. I am a student of jazz and have made a living playing music that people like. Kat is a very unique stylist. Out of the Blossom Dearie school but moved on to the more Chill.
You may notice this is six years old... it wasn't meant for the big time... it would have been edited if anyone thought there would be scrutiny of a pissy critic. It's a freakin home video... so pipe down.
Rudy Wilson - the only thing weak about this performance is your opinion of it. If you were looking to hear a take that sounds like Billie Holiday's version of the song, then go find her version... this is another artist's interpretation of the song and I found it to be quite good.
@@gregrea5790 That foul odor is your breath blowing back in your face. *Now that you've had your say, do you feel better? All I stated was my own opinion, but you seem to want to impose blind belief on the audience........and that audience is the final judge, not you. Grow up, kid.
Compared to the greats ie: Ella, Sarah, Billy, and all the rest, this girl is extremely overrated. She is nasally, shrieking speaking and singing voice. Not sure why so many people don't get that. Charlie Bit My Finger got 809,881,682 so hits mean nothing to anyone who cares. This is one of the most annoying voices I have ever heard. Want to hear REAL talent look up Sony Holland
Who ever was LUCKY enough to capture this and post....Thank you!
This girl is classically fabulous!! The kind of songstress we don't have anymore. Kat you "the" best!!
God bless you Kat.........thanks for keeping real vocal music alive. Your beautiful voice is healing!
She jazzed it up. The eloquent outburst of emotions. Rhythm and melody surrender in unison to her expression. Bravo
One of her best. Simple lovely and genuine
What an amazing combo. I just kept getting the chills.
That's because it's not-so-hot.
She totally commits. Superb!
Exquisite. A fabulous cross between Blossom Dearie and Stacey Kent.
She is amazing. bucket list for sure.
The very thought of you
I forget to do
Those little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do
I'm livin' in a kind of a daydream
I'm happy as a queen
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know
How slow the moments go
Till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you,
The very thought of you, my love
This is my favorite. Ms. Kat you are awesome.
Different. Very well played. Kat has a wonderful feel. Her voice is distinctive and has a future. Keep singing. Thank you.
Did you hear that??!!! The silence??!! Soon after she began to sing... The whole bustle and murmuring ceased!! Nothing but the faint glassware was heard! I've NEVER experienced that!

love this place and Kat too!
Simply beautiful
i'm totally stalking her vids right now....amaze-balls! and sounds just as good live as in a studio....she is LOVE.
One of the most underrated song stylists out there. She's really grown on me:)
She´s something special...
Oh Kat, please come back to the Ramshead in Annapolis. I had to miss your performance there and so regret it. Your voice and material haunt me and lift my soul- or put it in the hopper, depending
Her pianist is just fine
She has a large pianist
A simply unadorned, poetic voice!
Awesome
Bonita voz, bonita figura,muy buen pianista.
OMG this voice. Amazing and Unique. You deserve much more than 12291 views. u deserve at least few million views.
She's so cute! Love her in long hair
The greatest female jazz voice I've ever heard...hands down
ever hear Ella Fitzgerald?
meraviglia!
I wish I could play like that!!!!!!

Kat, твой голос завораживает...
That banter at the beginning hahaha
Exquisite! And gorgeous piano playing.
Is there no end to the Austin talent?

...and of course, there was Kevin Lovejoy too...
-Swoon-
can't seem to find this on amazon music...
The great ones have a way of making everyone else sit still. 3.30 everyone my self included went .......................
Anybody have any covers of hers circa 2006? Blue Sky, maybe?
bring back the long hair!
0:38
Blown away by both voice and piano. I'm glad she's not more famous. I only wish they'd have shown the piano players hands a bit.
For me the best after Billie holyday
you may remove your red wool jacket now

you don't get it.
Great piano player, but I would rather here her singing more!
and here I thought they didn't make women like this anymore
Sorry - this chick bores me to tears.
She needs a better pianist.
Is that sarcasm?

Effortless
weak....and way too long an intro
you got that right, snore

It's had more than 56,000 views... how many do you have?

I thought it was Chopin. Trill is Chopin style at the least.
Lousy arrangement. Lousy piano-banging. Lousy voice. I heard better stuff in High School.
well you wanted to stand out in some way Larson... and you do... like a foul odor... nice work!! LOL!!
