The programme for Swing Into Christmas( Down For The Count)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/strong>
I\u2019ve Got You Under My Skin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’ve Got You Under My Skin<\/strong>” is a song written by Cole Porter<\/a> in 1936. It was introduced that year in the Eleanor Powell<\/a> musical film Born to Dance<\/em><\/a> in which it was performed by Virginia Bruce<\/a>. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song<\/a> that year but lost out to The Way You Look Tonight<\/a>. Popular recordings in 1936 were by Ray Noble<\/a> and his Orchestra (vocal by Al Bowlly<\/a>) and by Hal Kemp<\/a> and his Orchestra (vocal by Skinnay Ennis<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has subsequently been recorded by hundreds of artists.[1]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It became a signature song<\/a> for Frank Sinatra<\/a>, and, in 1966, became a top 10 hit for the Four Seasons<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


“Let’s Face the Music and Dance<\/strong>” is a song written in 1936 by Irving Berlin<\/a> for the film Follow the Fleet<\/em><\/a>, where it was introduced by Fred Astaire<\/a> and featured in a celebrated dance duet with Astaire and Ginger Rogers<\/a>. The jazz<\/a> song has also been covered by various artists years following its release, including Nat King Cole<\/a>, Ella Fitzgerald<\/a>, Frank Sinatra<\/a>, Mel Torme<\/a>, Todd Gordon and others<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Nearness of You<\/strong>” is a popular song<\/a> written in 1938 by Hoagy Carmichael<\/a> with lyrics by Ned Washington<\/a>. The song debuted in the 1938 movie Romance in the Dark<\/a>.[1]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also heard in the 1940 recording In the Mood<\/a> by Glenn Miller<\/a> and His Orchestra, with vocals by Ray Eberle<\/a>,[2]<\/a><\/sup> and by many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song is on the Grammy<\/a>-Award-winning album Come Away with Me<\/a> by Norah Jones<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Only this year the song has been recorded by Karla Harris, an Atlanta based artist on her Moon To Gold album recorded with the Joe Altarman Trio, and we at Sidetracks And Detours have been raving about it ever since its release. The album has been playing six hours a day, plus my overtime, and I\u00b4m not tired of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mentioned her to Music That\u00b4s Going Places and Rob Adama responded that he has really liked the footage he has seen of her at various festivals in the States, (so that sent me off looking for that footage !)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mentioned her also to Jim Wade at Jazz In Reading who hadn\u00b4t heard of her but got hold of the album anyway. He told me in an e mail that he loved the insertion into Nothing But Blue Skies of In Walked Bud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me too, but I realised in horror that actually I had overlooked mentioning that in my review of Moon To Gold in an article that is now filed in our easy to negotiate archives of over 750 essays. Just type in her name in  our search engine and the screen will bring up the piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing But Blue Skies is a live track on the album and the insertion of In Walked Bud segues seamlessly into the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Walked Bud  is, of course, a 1947 jazz<\/a> composition by Thelonious Monk<\/a>. It was composed by Monk in honour of his friend, fellow pianist Bud Powell<\/a>, and based in part on the Irving Berlin<\/a> standard \u201cBlue Skies<\/a>\u201c. Monk recorded many renditions of \u201cIn Walked Bud\u201d throughout his career, and it has been covered numerous times by other artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swing Into Christmas<\/strong>will also include I\u2019ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm<\/em><\/strong>  is a popular song copyrighted in 1937 by its composer, Irving Berlin<\/a>,[1]<\/sup><\/a> and first recorded by (i) Ray Noble<\/a> (January 5, 1937), Howard Barrie, vocalist,[2]<\/sup><\/a>[a]<\/sup><\/a> and (ii) Red Norvo<\/a> (January 8, 1937), Mildred Bailey<\/a>, vocalist.[3]<\/sup><\/a> The song \u2013 sung by Dick Powell<\/a> and Alice Faye<\/a> \u2013 debuted on film February 12, 1937, in the musical, On the Avenue<\/em><\/a>.[4]<\/sup><\/a>[5]<\/sup><\/a>[6]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


I\u2019ll Be Home For Christmas<\/em><\/strong> is a Christmas song<\/a> written by the lyricist Kim Gannon<\/a> and composer Walter Kent<\/a> and recorded in 1943 by Bing Crosby<\/a>, who scored a top ten hit with the song. Originally written to honor soldiers overseas who longed to be home at Christmas time, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” has since gone on to become a Christmas standard<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas<\/em><\/strong> is a song written in 1943 by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane and introduced by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internation jazz in 2023 at The Stoller Hall will feature Tommy Blaize* (right, ,of Strictly Come Dancing fame<\/em>) performing alongside the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, Dave Bristow Quartet, Phillip Lassiter\u00a0and more. \u00a0 The father of Soul, Ray Charles changed the course of music history with his pioneering combination of gospel, jazz, and R&B. Nicknamed \u2018the Genius\u2019, he would become one of the most recognisable artists of the 20th century, his hoarse voice and passionate performances made him an icon, celebrated across the globe. A prolific pianist, singer, and composer, Charles was also an important figure in the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s. His refusal to perform at racially segregated venues would lead to a life-ban from his home state of Georgia, who would later apologise and make his version of\u00a0Georgia on My Mind<\/em>\u00a0the official state anthem. \u00a0 In 2023,\u00a0NYJO<\/a>\u00a0is touring a programme in celebration of the history and immeasurable talent of Ray Charles, to whom all jazz musicians and fans alike owe so much, featuring the brilliant singer, Tommy Blaize. A fantastic opportunity to see a 19-piece band of some of the most talented young jazz musicians in the UK take the stage with one of the country\u2019s finest vocalists. \u00a0 As lead singer of the BBC Strictly Come Dancing band, Tommy Blaize\u2019s powerful yet sensitive performances have helped create some of the most memorable TV moments of recent times. \u00a0 Singing live to an audience of more than 12 million every week, his soulful voice is etched in the public consciousness. Tommy began his singing career at the tender age of nine with The Blaize Brothers, alongside siblings Tony and Darrin, playing in clubs across the North-West of England in the 1970s. In a career spanning a remarkable 50 years, Tommy has gone on to work with some of the world\u2019s most legendary and renowned artists, from Diana Ross to Queen, The Beach Boys, Amy Winehouse, Joe Cocker, and Stevie Wonder.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Music is powerful<\/em>, emotive<\/em> and for many  a joyful<\/em> universal language that connects<\/em> people and cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Chetham\u2019s Foundation, a charity of which Stoller Hall is a part, is driven by a passion for music education.
