Jazz

Ja hem pogut disfrutar del fantastic festival de jazz que tenim a Tortosa aquests dies. Dimecres a la nit, a l'aire lliure, al barri vell, a fora del bar dels Amics dels Castells, van escoltar unes meravelloses versions d'algunes cançons classiques de jazz, gracies al grup Laia Porta i el Dan Posen Trio. 

Va començar tard, i va acabar tard, però, i aixi no vam poder aguantar fins el final, però una de les peces que van cantar va ser aquesta The Way You Look Tonight escrita per Kern i Fields per a la pel·licula Swing Time, 1936. I aqui la teniu. Potser Fred és un millor ballarin que cantant, però a mi m'encanten les seves pel·lis ...i tot seguit, un clip del grup en questió, Laia Porta i el Dan Posen Trio. Don't miss it!!

This week is Jazz Festival Week in Tortosa, and on Wednesday night we finally managed to get round to checking out a concert. A free open-air one, in a square in the old part of town with a fine bar providing (not free) drinks and snacks. A great time was had by all, as we were treated to a treasure chest of classic songs by the likes of Gerswhin, Porter, Bacharach ...by Catalan jazz group, Laia Porta and the Dan Posen Trio.  One of these gems was The Way You Look Tonight (Kern/Fields), from the Fred and Ginger film, Swing Time. Maybe he dances better than he sings, but I just love his movies, so here's Fred ..., swiftly followed by the group themselves, Laia and the boys. Don't miss it!

And here's Laia and the Dan Posen Trio, themselves,
