Wow. This is a Great American Songbook oddity I'd never have expected anyone to cover, or even notice. I sure didn't notice it, or even think of it as a song - it was only the underscoring to a scene in "The Wizard of Oz" And yet Cécile McLorin Salvant has made it into quite a fine jazz tune.

Gregory Porter would be honored! You both are two of my favorites. Bravo 👏 👏 👏

Stunningly imaginative. Hard to find in this age of the Jazz education industrial complex...

[@JamesRone]

That's a new term to me! What's the Jazz education industrial complex?

[@sorchamccarrey]

@@JamesRone i'm pretty sure they're being tongue in cheek. x industrial complex is a phrase that came to be used around the 60s and 70s to describe various repressive social institutions, ie the military industrial complex, the prison industrial complex. more recently i think, the medical industrial complex. basically the point of the term is to emphasize the way these things are manufactured towards a profit goal and towards certain repressive aims rather than naturalizing them as socially necessary bodies. the jazz education industrial complex seems mostly just funny to me but there seems to be an element of truth haha

[@JamesRone]

@@sorchamccarrey Thanks for the response. Yeah, I could tell it was a joke - but it also seemed like a trope among jazz musicians, maybe? Which makes me wonder what kinds of orthodoxies are produced by jazz education in 2022.

[@sorchamccarrey]

@@JamesRone o right on ok, it was hard for me to gauge your knowledge level so overexplained lol. ya i am not equipped to answer that haha

[@JamesRone]
