A Break Room

A Break Room with Jazz Music

Jazz Music

The perception of a "beautiful voice" is diverse. Is the "voice" in Fushidansekkyo of Japanese Buddhism actually heard as a "beautiful voice," for example, by Western ears? Well, I have been very much interested in the "power of language" and the "power of tune (cadence)" in my subject of research, Fushidansekkyo. Now, there are jazz singers, in whose voices I find the "power of voice."

Die Vorstellung einer „schönen Stimme“ ist verschieden. Wird die „Stimme“ in Fushidansekkyo von japanischem Buddhism wirklich als „schöne Stimme,“ zum Beispiel, durch okzidentale Ohren gehört? Übrigens, bin ich an der „Energie der Sprache“ und an der „Energie der Melodie (Rhythmus)“ in meinem Thema der Forschung, Fushidansekkyo, sehr viel interessiert gewesen. Jetzt gibt es Jazzsänger, in deren Stimmen ich die „Energie der Stimme“ finde.

Lyrics of Fly Me To The Moon,
Summertime, Skylark, Satin Doll,
What A Wonderful World
and Left Alone:

Fly Me To The Moon
(Bart Howard, 1954)

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me
Fill my life [heart] with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I love you

Summertime
(Du Bose Heyward and
Ira Gershwin
, 1935)

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by

Skylark
(Johnny Mercer, 1942)

Skylark
Have you anything to say to me?
Won't you tell me where my love can be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where someone's waiting to be kissed?
Oh skylark
Have you seen a valley green with spring?
Where my heart can go a journeying
Over the shadows and the rain
To a blossom covered lane
And in your lonely flight
Haven't you heard the music in the night?
Wonderful music
Faint as a will o' the wisp
Crazy as a loon
Sad as a gypsty serenading the moon
Oh skylark
I don't know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there
Oh skylark
Won't you lead me there?

Satin Doll
(Johnny Mercer, 1958)

Cigarette holder which wigs me
over her shoulder, she digs me.
Out cattin' that satin doll.
Baby, shall we go out skippin?
Careful, amigo, you're flippin',
speaks Latin that satin doll.
She's nobody's fool
so I'm playing it cool as can be.
I'll give it a whirl
but I ain't for no girl catching me,

swich-e-rooney.
Telephone numbers well you know,
doing my rhumbas with uno
and that'n my satin doll.

What A Wonderful World
(Robert Thiele and
George David Weiss
, 1967)

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Left Alone
(Billie Holiday)

Where's the love that's made to fill my heart
Where's the one from whom I'll never part
First they hurt me, then desert me
I'm left alone, all alone
There's no house that I can call my home
There's no place from which I'll never roam
Town or city, it's a pity
I'm left alone, all alone
Seek and find they always say
But up to now it's not that way
Maybe fate has let him pass me by
Or perhaps we'll meet before I die
Hearts will open, but until then
I'm left alone, all alone

The Gospel music that was born with Thomas A. Dorsey was "Good News" talking directly to the poor came from those where his early religious life and the Tindley influence were combined in Dorsey with his experience in the Blues-Jazz world when known as "Georgia Tom." It was also Black Church people's own music "which could express their innermost feelings about God, and their emotional involvement which was a part of this expression." This music was subsequently enthralling a much broader audience of people beyond Black Christians. (All the written sources are acknowledged in the pertinent section's notes of my master's thesis. Please see them.)
