Horace, often thinking of your music, even when not listening to it.
Horace always writes gorgeous tunes. He also has a gift for playing just what the situaion calls for and nothing more. Always thought Monk was vastly overrated and Horace has been criminally underrated.
Sue Carrington: Nica was a Baroness in Harlem, NY, a patron of Jazz who had a fondness for the jazz musicians, she knew them all, they stayed at her home, especially
when they were down on their luck, Charlie Parker stayed there, she loved them, they loved her, Horace wrote a song about her, perhaps after her passing, her real name was Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter, possibly from Austria, she came to the U.S. during World War II when those European countries were being bombed, just thought
you'd like to know, peace.
+jamal jabbar Charlie Parker also DIED there in Nica's home.
+jamal jabbar I assume, being that Andy & Horace worked together extensively, that Andy wrote the lyrics to Nica's Dream, as he wrote so many lyric's to the recordings that he and Horace made, Happy Medium, The Show Has Begun, Old Mother Nature Calls, these were from Horace Silver's United States Of Mind LP's, phase's I,II,& III.
Nica was from the Rothschild's family
History
Nica's Dream has been recorded and interpreted by so many,many jazz greats,but there has always been a metaphysical chemistry between Horace Silver and and vocalist Andy Bey.
andy bey a voice for the century!!!!!
Acontecimento maravilhoso
superbe version
The sound sweet to my ear a warm harmony that every brother could hear
With love, ??? that was her desire, nica’s dream
She came into my life and gone were my days of lonely sadness and strife
Once more back on the reigns how I did admire nicas dream
Jazz was the music it made her young heart sing with tenderness and she passed it along
She loved the music cause changes were her thing may heaven bless her and sing her this song, so do your dance!
Very cool LIVE version!!!!
wow nice sax solo
I enjoyed listening to your Nica's Dream.
Esther
Yes 🙌
With time bothered and blue your rythmn and rhyme will keeo her dream coming true
Song of love supreme, love that did inspire nicas dr
This is so…. sublime!!
I'm a pianist working on melodic minor harmonies. Thanks for posting this - very inspirational. I'm gonna try to learn it!
@Modes I agree completly with your assesment of Horace's piano playing. We all know he is one of the most prolific songwriters in Jazz. This is probably one one his most covered tunes, and rightly so.
I hear.
" .......she came into my life. and GOD were my days so loney: sadness and strife.
once more, back on the bean" ............
Bean= meaning "drinking again" "........ i but did admire Nica's dream"
@Modes9 Steady my man. Monk is as great as people think is he is. Horace is underrated, true but Monk broke all the rules and made it an institution. And he was there with the inventors of this music, Bird, Diz and Bud. I love both their composing skills.
@Modes9 Too True my friend!
This is what I gathered. Feel free to correct me.
Nica’s Dream Lyrics
A Song too sweet to reveal
A warm harmony
Every brother could hear
With love, love as the theme
That was her desire
Nica’s Dream
She came into my life
And gone were my days of loneliness Sadness and strife
Once more
Back on the beam
That was her desire Nica’s Dream
Jazz was the music
It made her young heart sing
With timidness and she passed it along
She loved the music cuz changes were her thing
May heaven bless her and sing her this song
So do your dance
With time ballad and blues
Your rhythm and rhyme
Will keep the dream coming true
A song of love supreme
Love that did inspire Nica’s Dream
Does anybody know the lyrics to this song?!?! I must know!!!!! i can't understand it all but I love the singing style! great song!!
i hear "Battered and blue"
blacks where beaten a lot at the time. so the going was also really tough.
Still jazzy though!
I need this lyrics. *-*
Love more than dee dee bridgwater's version.
+Roberta Prestigiacomo You should hear him sing "Butter Fly Dream" with bassist Stanley Clarke, though Flora Purim I believe is credited with writing
the lyrics to it, as well as the lyrics for A Search For Peace, McCoy Tyner's composition.
+jamal jabbar thank you very much Jamal !
+Roberta Prestigiacomo thank you for being too kind, I thought, if she's familiar with Dee Bridgewater, then what I'm telling her is probably nothing new! Peace.
Andy Bey bad as a mutha
If this aint the shit then what is?
wtf is with the horrible mix?
That's what I'm saying this mix is awful. I can't listen to this again.
