Une Diva du Jazz qu'il conviendrait de reconnaître beaucoup plus encore pour son grand art du chant, mais pas seulement, aussi pour son extrême sensibilité. Un bel être qui nous fait le don de ce que le chant a de meilleur et de profondément humain. Merci avous chère Norma Winstone. P.G.Y
Fabulous. I first heard Norma Winstone, live with Michael Garrick, in 1973, and it's marvellous that she's still performing like this. And it's heartwarming that Kenny Wheeler's music is being kept alive.
I'd played this 28 years ago when I was at music college, with Kenny and John Taylor directing. Hearing it again after so long has brought back those days, along with a sense of nostalgia and longing for a time when the world seemed simpler and more straightforward. I don't think that's an accident. Though I didn't notice it at the time -- too busy getting the notes right! -- this piece now seems underpinned by a profound sense of melancholy and loss, made all the more poignant by the overt emotionalism of Norma Winstone's ethereal, often other-worldly vocals. Norma is amazing here and despite the light purity of voice she nonetheless brings weight and heartfelt honesty to this performance, as in everything she does. Thank you so much for posting this @hfmFRANZLISZTweimar. 🕊️
Man those big, thick, block chords are just so awesome. Kenny Wheeler was a master at these beautiful harmonic movements, so complex and rich. For me hell is a world without harmony (not the can't we all just get along type).
I was looking for "smiles remembered", and there it is (renamed "for h.") - Thx for this nice christmas gift ! - Norma, now showing alone the azimuth of jazz, shines ever so bright !
What a marvelous composition. Norma handles those intervals with such fluid grace, it's gorgeous. The woman on tenor gets the best hair matching her shoes award though.
This is gorgeous. Also, there's another video on this platform that sounds near identical so I'm inclined to believe they are the same but this one shows the actual artists, Fantastic performance from them all, including Norma, I would love to shake every single one of their hands and give them a warm hug for the hours of wholesomeness they've provided. Well done!
Probabilmente il più bel disco per orchestra uscito negli ultimi 31 anni. Meno male che ce l'ho in cd. Fosse stato in vinile avrei dovuto gettarlo perchè fuso... AAA
unfortunately , once listened more than 30 years ago the original played by some of the greater musicians ever ( Norma included ) this appear a gentle tribute , no more .
OK Norma ...I ain't got nothin' but a few head of cattle and some bottom land. ..but well, I loved you since i first heard you with Kenny. Let's elope!!!!
47 minutes of pure beauty. Kudos for the bass player

I saw Norma Winstone at Exeter Uni in '67 or '68 and never forgot her, and am very happy to've found her again.

Of Smiles Remembered is Kind folk, but here thay play it in 4/4 and usually the lyrics version is in 3/4 😉

Norma still smokes. The band really cooks, too.

Well at this point I'm hearing 3 conjoined pieces. I had an autographed copy of "For Jan" but had a bag stolen in Copenhagen of all places.
2:14 - part 2
6:09 - part 3
