Having known Wallace for almost 40 years, I’m incredibly saddened that he’s no longer with us. Rest Easy, Wallace. Condolences to Wallace’s family, friends and musical colleagues. Here is some music from his last sets at Jazz Forum, Tarrytown during his 59th Birthday weekend, May 24 & 25, 2019. – Mark Morganelli

Recommended Listening
Joao Gilberto & Stan Getz – Full Album (1963)
Getz/Gilberto is an album by American saxophonist Stan Getz and Brazilian guitarist João Gilberto, featuring pianist and composer Antônio Carlos Jobim, who also composed many of the tracks, including Garota de Ipanema & Desafinado. Getz/Gilberto was released in March 1964 by Verve Records and is considered the record that popularized bossa nova worldwide and was one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time. It was one of the main inspirations for me as I recorded by latest Brasil! Double-CD. Enjoy the Masters! – Mark Morganelli

Last Week’s Question:
What Jazz tune makes you feel most at home and why?
|
|
|
I would say “Stardust” by Hoagy Carmichael, including its somewhat lengthy Rubato introduction, because it moves so smoothly and elegantly throughout its range, making it so relaxing. In my opinion, the tune “Stardust” can be comparable to the traditional American Folk song “I Dream of Genie With the Light Brown Hair” by Stephen Foster, and as well, the traditional Irish folk song, “Danny Boy”. – Frank Pedulla
