PG, Here’s one you’ll like. Diana Krall is one of my favorites….like Nat King Cole, she’s a great pianist and vocalist.

From Lester Perkins “Jazz on the Tube:”
Hi Mel
Originally titled “In Other Words,”
by its author Bart Howard, in 1954,
“Fly Me To the Moon” is a popular
cabaret song introduced by Felicia
Sanders.

Frank Sinatra didn’t record it until
1964, with Count Basie, on his album
“It Might As Well Be Swing.”

Editor’s note: Thanks Mel. We have seen Diana Krall perform live, and she is really terrific. She was in the Great Auditorium in 2012, and here is a link to Charles Layton’s Blogfinger review of that concert.
This recollection of Diana Krall’s visit to the Great Auditorium in 2012 reminds us how much we will miss culturally by the CMA’s recent Saturday night lights out retrogressive policy.
Don’t they feel any responsibility towards the cultural richness that is needed for a diverse town like ours to thrive?
They don’t seem to understand the hit they have taken in terms of public relations by their reactive actions affecting residents and visitors alike.
This is a favorite song by a singer I love. Her voice has gotten wispy in recent years, but this is Diana LIVE at top of her game. Thanks for swinging me into Fall!
