And just to show off my mad computer skills, here are some more embedded pictures and an audiovisual extravaganza. Warning: this is NOT an excuse to include a gratuitous sexy babe picture. I’ve gotten over that. This is, in fact, the first time I’ve featured a
SLINKY JAZZ BABE
and so it is art appreciation and not coarse lechery.
Sophie Milman, born in Russia, lived in Israel and now Canada.
Visit her website: http://www.sophiemilman.com/
Her new album released only a month or two ago is called “Take Love Easy” or as I prefer, the “Blue Dress Album”.
Her first album from 2004, just called “Sophie Milman” (presumably because that’s her name, but I call it “Slinky Black Dress Album 1) is also great, and she has a Live EP, too.
I’m hardly one to comment on jazz since I really know so damn little about it, but I really like Milman’s albums. The pop/rock reinterpretations are wonderful, her voice is beautiful and very adaptable and she does light hearted, uptempo stuff and very haunting tunes equally well. One thing I have noticed about jazz singers is that they have no reservations about singing in other languages. Milman sings in English, her native Russian, Hebrew
One of my favourite tunes is on the “Make Someone Happy” Album. “Eli, Eli (A Walk To Caesarea)” was a poem written by Hannah Szenes in Hebrew. Szenes was a Hungarian resistance fighter executed by the Nazis. Even if you don’t know the words, its deep spirituality comes though, and even though I’m hardly a spiritual kind of guy, it does break me up.
Anyway, let’s end on a positive note:
