about
"Whether it's as blatant as my version of Bye Bye Blackbird from my second record (Soar) or as indirect as my take on Nature Boy, I try to stay unapologetically Black at all times. My use of a djembe likens the song to an African folk song instead of a hippy anthem from the 40's."

lyrics
There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
They say he travelled very far
Very far, over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And as we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me:
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
They say he travelled very far
Very far, over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And as we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me:
"The greatest thing that you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And as we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me:
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
In return
In return
In return
In return
In return
To be loved
In return
A very strange, enchanted boy
They say he travelled very far
Very far, over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And as we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me:
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
They say he travelled very far
Very far, over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And as we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me:
"The greatest thing that you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And as we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me:
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
In return
In return
In return
In return
In return
To be loved
In return

Jimmy easily would have fit in with this outfit, and it would have been a joy to listen to for another reason. These musicians are engaged and perform at the top of their game, every piece.

Devotion
by Dave Douglas | Uri Caine | Andrew Cyrillesupported by 5 fans who also own “Nature Boy”
Its Trio (sometimes Duo) music changing between space and density. Each musician beautifully develops the sound of his instrument. Just listen to the tone quality of the trumpet,*****.

Touch My Beloved's Thought
by Greg Wardsupported by 5 fans who also own “Nature Boy”
Ward's swirling, breezy sax feels very close and intimate - listening to it I pictured myself in a small basement room as the band played - but the 10 tongues paint a joyful and sophisticated urban fairytale that changes scene cinematically and builds to a satisfying finale.

So much fun and joy and swing, and the instrumentation allows for some super-fresh sounds as well as some old-timey goodness. And simply great tunes too!
