    In retrospect, the swing era seems to have been marked by a kind of musical hedonism. The excitement generated by big bands, the exotic dance hall environments in which they worked, the vivid publicity which they earned, all contributed to the idea that non-stop enjoyment was not only desirable but inevitable. Swing numbers were usually up-tempo, the dancers busily jitterbugging, the bandsmen sometimes outlandish, their road stories helping to sustain the music’s glamorous aura.
    Much of this (if not all) is true, of course. Swing-style jazz flourished in America and Europe in the immediate post-depression period, building in popularity as the Second World War loomed so who can blame the fans for their desire to shut out oncoming difficulties? They wanted entertainment and pleasure, and loved the animation and vitality of the best swing bands. For all that, the famous orchestras or instrumentalists of the day knew full well that a diet of non-stop flag-wavers could pall and paced their presentations with slower ballads and blues, often featuring a key soloist who might create a lush version of a show song. Of course, this allowed dancers to smooch, to linger romantically, before the programme changed.
    It’s this facet of swing - its ‘laid-back’ aspect in modern parlance - which we celebrate here. Tempos are slower and some smaller groups are given their head, the individual players better able to demonstrate their virtuosity and control. The music still swings, but there’s subtlety and sophistication in these performances as well.

They were so much fun! I put on Frank Sinatra and Bix Beiderbeck (look him up - he is the coolest!) and Harry James, and all these great musicians, and everyone else was listening to what they called "bubble gum" music. And now, I am still listening to this same great music, because it is just great musicianship.

      I do indeed live in a lovely part of France - and as you probably know there are many. My location is South Central France in the Departement of the Correze, now part of Nouvelle Aquitaine. It is a region adjacent to the Dordogne and Lot collectively making up The Valley of the Dordogne. Lakes, hills, forest ad mediaeval villages abound.
      My house is in a non-touristic village but within 30 minutes drive are no less than six of The Most Beautiful Villages in France, and my house is on a ridge where I look over one of them (Curemont) from 6kms distance, but an overall view of almost 60kms.
      Correct also about books as my house is was built around 1740, and I have a separate two-story 'cottage' which houses the bigger part of my 3,000 plus books, and 2000 DVDs and I am steadily selling off my LPs - just a few with a measly total of 1000.
      In my career I lived and worked in 12 different countries (for longer than a year). I took French Nationality some six years ago, but have had a home here in France since 1992.
      I wouldn't want to live anywhere else!

Anyway, listening to this kind of music makes me feel like shes with me once again, telling me stories about how beautifull the world was back then. My point is , music that really speaks to you, it feeds your soul and makes your imagination far more powerfull than anything technology can provide these days.

    I think part of the reason this music and this era is so appealing is that there was no time pressure, you were alive and could just dance the night away. You had won, you had made it, just by the virtue of still breathing in that moment. That is a feeling I have been searching for ever since childhood, and I'll probably meet my grave before I do, but I can tell this is music made with that feeling infused in it to its very core, and it offers me a brief respite from the storm. I hope that at least as an old man I might one day feel the world at peace in a way I have been robbed of as a young man, I just hope the cost isn't too high to get there.

  • @vacafuega
    @vacafuega 4 ปีที่แล้ว +110

    Listening to oldies late at night trying to finish a project. Been listening for hours, but as soon as the first song came on, my eyes filled with tears, and I felt intense tingling in my entire body. I grew up in Provence, the child of a jazz musician father and a writer and travelling saleswoman mother who loved music. I know this song like the back of my hand, like the heart of my mind. They used to run completely illegal jazz club nights in the summer months - the Krazy Kats. People would drink and talk and eat, and spill out into the garden. I was always the only child and I watched from afar as the jazz trio or quartet played all through the night. My mum and I drove everywhere, we listened to this one Benny Goodman CD a lot because you could hear it ok over the rumble of her van. She died a couple of summers ago, very sadly and painfully. The people around her forced her to manage everything until the very end, and insisted on denying her condition, so that I was had not idea what was actually happening. I quit my job to go and spend time with her but she died 8 days after I arrived. I never got the chance to talk to her, she was too far gone. She was kept in denial and I never got to say goodbye, either. I tried my best to reach her throughout my life, to love her as she wished, but somehow it never worked out - she wanted to open up to everyone but she was spikes and fortresses with me. I wrote her a long email telling her how much I loved her - she acknowledged it but never answered it in kind. I hope it reached her somehow though... That she knew someone loved her. Before she died. Still. It hurts to never have got an answer, and that I never got to say goodbye. I'm pretty sure Nightfall was a favourite of hers, but I'm not sure how. She told me about a few favourite songs but never that one. It's the feeling of my childhood. Impossibly heavy, and crying out to be preserved at all costs, infinitely precious yet already vanishing. The only way forward is to let it all go. You can't process someone else's sadness for them... Maybe I can tie happier memories to this music in time. I can try. Best of luck to us all...

    While I'm listening to this I imagine myself in my apartmant in the evening after work back in the 40s, a little jazz after a tough work, relaxing, eating. It's just a perfect night.

    Sitting here at my favourite spot in my apartment, watching the pink evening clouds passing by and a gentle breeze coming in through the balcony door, listening to this soothing music, what a perfect moment. I love this playlist! Just waiting for a gentleman to ask me for a dance 😄

      A blue pin-striped suit with a red tie, shiny loafers and a fedora😉I spot a pretty young thing smoking a long cigar sitting at the bar alone. "Hey, doll! You got great gams for a young dame"😄

    It's Sunday night, I'm chopping vegetables, washing dishes, and getting ready for work tomorrow. This music has been the perfect, relaxing, and easy going music for a calm night. 👍🏿 #oldbutgold

    There is no more spirited, warmer, loving music anywhere in time or location in the universe. God bless the writers and performers. May they and the joyess music they produced never be forgotten or lost.

    The afternoons spent in the garden tending to the roses, trimming the ivy that was climbing the neighbor's wall, the smell of freshly cut grass, the townspeople stopping to look at our garden from the gate. Around 7 p.m. a few friends arrive with a bottle of chilled white wine, we sit on wicker chairs as the sun goes down.
    Sunday comes and he would drive me around the hills with his 1966 Alfa Romeo Spider. My dad didn't know a single title and only remembered a few artists by their name, but he could hum each of these songs by heart.

    This makes me feel like a 1940's investigator in LA.

    My family never got rid of a record, so i grew up on these songs. When i was in my senior year of high school were crezy about Elvis, could not stand rock &, roll, when girls would ask me my favorite singer i always Bing Crosby, most of the replies where who? I told them need to listen to 20s, 30s, & 40s music for the good sounds.
