IT'S ONLY A PAPER MOON - Sir Paul: Siriusly Sinatra satellite radio channel 71 just played a second track (this same morning) from Sir Paul's “Kisses on the Bottom” CD. A decade after it was recorded, the album has a more comprehensive Wikipedia entry. The melody of Harold Arlen's “Paper Moon” set to an ingenious, small jazz combo arrangement - simple yet brilliant harmonies, featuring a jazz violinist (Andy Stein) who evokes an earlier time -- when an uncle might pick up his fiddle in the front parlor and play to piano and guitar accompaniment: A fiddler who doesn't show his true speed as he impersonates a more rustic sound. The harmony on the closing flourish is so pretty. Thanks again to Siriusly Sinatra programmer extraordinaire Jersey Lou Simon for the all the joy you share each day. So happy the 'live' studio recording is here at RUclips! Has it really been ten years? From the Wiki entry: The album was recorded during March 2010 at Capitol Studios[2][3] and Avatar Studios.[8] The album's title comes from the lead track "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter", originally a hit for Fats Waller in 1935.[3][4] Said McCartney in the liner notes, "I worked with Diana Krall, and great jazz musicians like John Clayton. This is an album very tender, very intimate. This is an album you listen to at home after work, with a glass of wine or a cup of tea."[9] The disc was helmed by (the late) Tommy LiPuma The album is mostly standards, with two originals written in the same style ("My Valentine" and "Only Our Hearts").[4] "My Valentine", composed by McCartney, the first song released from the album, features Eric Clapton on guitar.[4] Stevie Wonder plays harmonica on "Only Our Hearts".[4][12][13] McCartney plays acoustic guitar on "Get Yourself Another Fool" and "The Inch Worm", but otherwise contributes only vocals.[14] (The all star list of “Personnel” mentions the violinist, like a kiss, at the bottom) Performance: Paul McCartney - vocals, acoustic guitar on (Get Yourself Another Fool, The Inch Worm), whistling ("My Very Good Friend the Milkman")[4] Diana Krall - piano & rhythm arrangements except on Only Our Hearts Tamir Hendelman - piano on (Only Our Hearts) Stevie Wonder - harmonica on (Only Our Hearts) John Pizzarelli - guitar Anthony Wilson - guitar on (The Glory Of Love, My Very Good Friend The Milkman), rhythm guitar on (Get Yourself Another Fool) Eric Clapton - guitar on (My Valentine, Get Yourself Another Fool) Bucky Pizzarelli - guitar on (It's Only A Paper Moon, We Three (My Echo, My Shadow And Me) John Chiodini - guitar on (Only Our Hearts) Robert Hurst - double bass on (1-4, 6-9, 11, 13) John Clayton - double bass on (The Glory Of Love, My Very Good Friend The Milkman) Christian McBride - double bass on (Get Yourself Another Fool) Chuck Berghofer - double bass on (Only Our Hearts) Vinnie Colaiuta - drums on (Only Our Hearts) Karriem Riggins - drums Jeff Hamilton - drums on (The Glory Of Love, My Very Good Friend The Milkman) Mike Mainieri - vibraphone on (Home (When Shadows Fall), More I Cannot Wish You, The Glory Of Love & We Three (My Echo, My Shadow And Me) London Symphony Orchestra Alan Broadbent - orchestra conductor, orchestra arrangement Roman Simovic - concertmaster Andy Stein - violin on (It's Only A Paper Moon) [Thanks, Ale Corvi for sharing.] Celebrated this day at Sinatra Family -- Forum -- "Siriusly Sinatra" MY FAVORITE VERSION -- YOURS TOO? sinatrafamily.com/forum/showthread.php/50225-My-Favorite-Version-%28yours-too-%29?p=1283239#post1283239
I'm always amazed at the musical ignorance regarding swing and "jazz". While Mr McCartney is an absolute legend in terms of the contribution he and his band members have made with such a wonderful Beatles and Paul McCartney back catalogue of songs, he has that very typical rock and pop artist feel when trying to sing anything with a slightly swinging groove - he swings like a bag of Maris Piper potatoes, and a heavy bag at that... The company he is in in terms of true musical talent and musical greatness is incredible and yet he's lawded for this really awful album? It's just like Rod Stewart all over again...
Creative people like to stretch themselves & try new things; so what's wrong with Rod Stewart & Paul McCartney trying their hands at these songs & this genre? Don't buy the album if you don't like it, but don't give them cr*p for having fun with this.
