Stockholm Jazz Set - You Gotta Be

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky

Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don`t be ashamed to cry

You gotta be bad
You gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard
You gotta be tough
You gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool
You gotta be calm
You gotta be stay together

All i know, all i know
Love will save the day

Herald what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzle in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Other take a different view
My oh my a a a

You gotta be bad
You gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard
You gotta be tough
You gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool
You gotta be calm
You gotta be stay together

All i know, all i know
Love will save the day

Don`t asks no questions
It goes on without you
Leaving you behind
If you can`t stand the place
The world keeps on spinning
Can`t stop it
If you try to
The best part is danger staring you in the face

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky

Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my

You gotta be bad
You gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard
You gotta be tough
You gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool
You gotta be calm
You gotta be stay together

All i know, all i know
Love will save the day

You gotta be bad
You gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard
You gotta be tough
You gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool
You gotta be calm
You gotta be stay together

All i know, all i know
Love will save the day
All i know, all i know
Love will save the day
All i know, all i know
Love will save the day

Tata - Fly Me To The Moon

Fly me to the moon,
And let me play among those stars
Let me see what spring is like,
On Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling kiss me

Fill my heart with song,
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Fly me to the moon,
And let me play among those stars
Let me see what spring is like,
On Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling kiss me

Fill my heart with song,
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true
In other words
In other words
In other words
In other words

In other words, I love you

Helen Schneider - Only You

Only you
Can make all this world seem right,
Only you
Can make the darkness bright,
Only you, and you alone
Can feel me like you do
And fill my heart with love
For only you.

Only you
Can make all this change in me,
For it's true
You are my destiny.
When you hold my hand,
I understand
The magic that you do,
You're my dream come true,
My one and only you

When you hold my hand,
I understand
The magic that you do,
You're my dream come true,
My one and only you

Maysa - When I Fall In Love

When i fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in Love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seems to cool in the warmth of the sun.

When i give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
When I fall in Love with you.

Halie Loren -
A Whiter Shade Of Pale


We skipped a light fandango,
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor.
I was feeling kind of seasick,
But the crowd called out for more.
And the room was humming harder,
As the ceiling flew away.
When we called out for another drink,
But the waiter brought a tray.

And so it was that later,
As the miller told his tale,
That her face at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale.

She said there is no reason,
And the truth is plain to see
That I wandered through my playing cards,
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast.
And although my eyes were open,
They might just as well have been closed.

And so it was later,
As the miller told his tale,
That her face at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale.

Silje Nergaard - Be Still My Heart

My heart's not lonely or broken
Is not of ice or of gold
Nor has my heart ever spoken
To me when a love has grown cold

I felt not the faintest flutter
When you brushed my cheek as you passed
Nor will I willingly clutter
My life with these things that don't last

Be still my heart
My heart be still

If our eyes should meet then so-be-it
No need to trouble a heart that's hidden
Where no-one can free it
Only to tear it apart

Be still my heart
My heart be still

Beware, beware, beware
Take care, take care

Be still my heart
My heart be still

Ledisi - Autumn Leaves

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie separe ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants desunis

Guy Sebastian -
Be Mine


Lately, ive been having thoughts on my mind
Better tell you given that solitary time
Its the greatest most humble thing a heart will ever find
Just promise me that you'll be mine

We've been, we've been going out quite a while
And baby, the way you move is quite my style
So let me take this chance
And put my heart out on the line
Im just hoping girl, that you'll be mine

The winds of fate dont often blow our way
So lets chase them while we can, oh yea
Our waves are growing stronger while our hearts are getting younger
I think we Can run a lifetime or two

Take this, take this ring i have here for you
And wear it, wear it til both our lives are through
Its the honest, most perfect gift i can gave to you
If you say that you'll agree
Girl if you promise me
I'll give everything i have if you'll, you'll be mine

Nnenna Freelon - Lately

Lately I've had the strangest feeling
With no even reason here to find
but yet the thought of losing you's been hanging
Around my mind

Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
And with you saying 'No special place to go'
But when I ask, will you be coming back soon?
Saying you don't know, never know

I'm a girl of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
Cuz it always starts to cry

Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Saying I'm trying to tell myself I have a reason
With your heart
Girl, just the other night while you were sleeping
I heard you vaguely whisper someone's name
But, when I asked you what the thoughts you keeping
You just said 'Nothing changed'

I'm a girl of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
Cuz it always starts to cry

I'm a girl of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
Cuz it always starts to cry
Cuz this time could mean good bye

Norah Jones - Don't Know Why

I waited till I saw the sun
Don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
Don't know why I didn't come (x2)

When I saw the break of day
Wished that I could fly away
Steadily Iaid in the sand
Catching tear drops in my hand

My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever

Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstacy
But I'll be with vegabonds
Driving down the road alone

My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever

Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't call
Feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come (x3)



2002년에 발매된 아메리칸 싱어-송라이터 노라 존스(Norah Jones)
데뷔 앨범 [Come Away With Me]에 수록곡.
데뷔작만으로 높은 완성도와 더불어 컨트리풍 발성과 편곡은 접근용이한 재즈를 선사하며
대중화를 이루어냈다.

Only You


Only you
Can make all this world seem right,
Only you
Can make the darkness bright,
Only you, and you alone
Can feel me like you do
And do fill my heart with love
For only you.


Only you
Can do make all this change in me,
For it's true
You are my destiny.
When you hold my hand,
I understand

The magic that you do,
You're my dream come true,
My one and only you

Only you
Can do make all this change in me,
For it's true
You are my destiny.
When you hold my hand,
I understand

The magic that you do,
You're my dream come true,
My one and only you

What A Difference A Day Made


What a difference a day makes,
twenty-four little hours,
brought the sun and the flowers,
where their used to be rain.

my yesterday was blue dear,
today i'm a part of you dear,
my lonley nights are through dear,
since you said "you are mine".

oohhh, what a difference a day makes,
theirs a rainbow before me,
skie's above can't bestore me,
since that moment of bliss,
that thrilling kiss.

it's heaven when you,
find romance on the menu,
what a difference a day,
and the difference is you.

oohhh, what a difference a day makes,
theirs a rainbow before me,
skie's above can't bestore me,
since that moment of bliss,
that thrilling kiss.

it's heaven when you,

what a difference a day made,
and the differemce is you.

the difference is you, ooohhh.



캐니디언 R&B 싱어 데보라 콕스(Deborah Cox)의 2007년 앨범 [Destination Moon]수록곡.
이 음반은 자신이 존경하는 전설적인 블루스, 재즈 보컬리스트 디나 워싱턴(Dinah Washihgton)
대한 트리뷰트 앨범으로, 시대를 풍미했던 재즈 명곡들이 그녀만의 색다른 해석으로 다시한번
근사하게 태어났다.

Ribbon In The Sky
(Ft. Noon)


Oh so long for this night I prayed
That a star would guide you my way
To share with me this special day
Where a ribbon's in the sky for our love

If allowed may I touch your hand
And if pleased may I once again
So that you too will understand
There's a ribbon in the sky for our love

Do...Do...
Do Do Do Do Do...
Hmm Hmm...

This is not a coincidence
And far more than a lucky chance
But what is that was always meant
Is our ribbon in the sky for our love, love

We can't lose with God on our side
We'll find strength in each tear we cry
From now on it will be you and I
And our ribbon in the sky
Ribbon in the sky
A ribbon in the sky for our love

Do...Do...
Do Do Do Do Do...
Hmm Hmm...

There's a ribbon in the sky for our love



일본 재즈계의 명프로듀서로 인정받고 있는 곤잘레스 스즈키의 프로젝트 밴드
소울 보사 트리오(Soul Bossa Trio)의 앨범 [Songs And Melodies]에 수록되어 있는 곡으로,
그에게 발탁되어 성장하고 있는 재즈 보컬리스트 눈(Noon)
나른하면서도 높고 가는
목소리가 꽤 매력적이다.
Stevie Wonder의 원곡이나 현악 사중주 재즈밴드 Tokyo Y's Club의 연주와는 또 다른 느낌이다.

Natalie Cole - L-O-V-E

L is for the way you look at me
O if for the only one I see
V is very very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can love
It's all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

Queen Latifah -
California Dreamin


All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray.
I've been for a walk on a winter's day.
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day.

Stopped in to a church I passed along the way.
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray.
You know the preacher liked the cold.
He knows I'm gonna stay.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day.

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray.
I've been for a walk on a winter's day.
If I didn't tell her I could leave today.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day.



이 곡은 2004년에 발표한
[The Dana Owens Album] 앨범에 수록되어있다.
이 앨범에서 그녀는 그간 보여줬던 거친 래퍼가 아닌 부드럽고 진한 재즈 싱어의 면모을 보여주었다.
2005년 그래미에서 <베스트 재즈 보컬 앨범> 부문에 노미네이트 되면서 그녀의 또다른 재능이
결코 가볍지 않음을 입증한다.

Najee - We Gone Ride
(Ft. Eric Benet)



Najee는 스무스 재즈 역사에서 창시자로 거론되는 1세대 연주자이다.
뉴욕 토박이인 그는 고향인 자메이카와 뉴욕 퀸즈에서 클라리넷, 섹소폰, 플룻으로 연주인생을 시작했다.
뉴욕으로 돌아와 샤카칸의 투어 공연에 세션으로 초대돼 커리어를 넓히다 EMI를 통해 데뷔앨범
[Najee's Theme]을 발표한다. 앨범은 그래미에서 플래티넘 판매를 기록한 데뷔앨범 부문에 후보가
되었고 이어서 프래디잭슨과 함께 2집 앨범 [Day By Day]를 발표하며 플래티넘 연승 행진을 이어간다.
이후 발표한 [Tokyo Blue][Just An Illusion], [Share My World]도 골드 판매를 기록하며
컴템프러리 재즈의 전설이 되었다. 그리고 스티비원더에 대한 존경의 뜻이 담긴 헌정 앨범
[Najee Plays Songs from the Key of Life: A Tribute to Stevie Wonder]는 현대적인
감각으로 원더의 곡을 다시 연주했다.
그의 일곱번째 앨범 [Morning Tenderness]는 나지가 직접 설립한 FAN에서 제작되었고,
앨범은 곧바로 재즈차트에서 1위를 기록한다. 각종 시상식에서 거창한 상을 수 차례나 수상한 나지는
미국 뿐만 아니라 유럽, 아시아, 아프리카 등 전세계를 누비며 투어 공연을 했다.
특히
남아프리카공화국에서 넬슨 만델라 대통령의 생일 축하 공연을 펼치면서 명예와 성공을 동시에 누렸다.
퀸시존스, 윌 다우닝, 패티라벨, 알자로우, 마커스밀러, 데이브코즈, 라이오넬리치 등 음악계 저명한
인사들과 함께 작업을 하며 커리어는 더욱 빛났고, 54살이 된 현재에도 왕성한 jam 활동을 펼치며
어반 재즈의 영원한 맨토로 활약하고 있다. 최근 앨범 [My Point Of View][Rising Sun]
재즈 앨범차트 1위, 지난해 발매가 된 [Mind Over Matter]가 차트 2위를 기록한 것만 보더라도
나지가 현대 재즈사에 미치는 영향력은 대단하다.
