The Brain DJ is still going, but this morning songs by The Sound is all I get.

So let's try something at random:

Eleonora Strino and her band, "It Don't Mean a Thing" (May 2024)

Duke Ellington's 1931 composition, "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" covered by:
Eleonora Strino on guitar
Claudio Vignali at the piano
Giulio Corini with the double bass
Zeno De Rossi behind the drums.

Enjoy!

I made a selection of recordings of "Baubles, Bangles, and Beads" to trace the tune's amazing journey from a Borodin String Quartet, to a Broadway musical, through the swinging goodness of a few standout performances from the 50s and 60s. #jazz #jazzstandards #borodin #sinatra #sarahvaughan #kirbystonefour #peggylee #dorettamorrow rudiseitz.com/2023/03/01/baubl

Can E-Flat Be Sexist?: Canonical Keys as Marginalizing Practice in Jazz

Gender is an increasingly prominent filter in jazz research. Close inspection shows that even the presumably neutral territory of key signatures creates gendered reverberations. This chapter examines how replicating the “canonical” keys of jazz standards marginalizes female singers, who comprise the predominant sex of jazz vocalists. The argument is first contextualized through examining how canonical keys are set and perpetuated through jazz standards, jazz practice and fake books. These canonical keys, whilst mostly drawn from instrumental practice, generally accommodate male vocal range. The keys of 40 well-known standards recorded by renowned female vocalists were compared to printed keys in fake books. This comparison shows that keys recorded by female singers seldom match the printed keys. A discussion of jazz vocal style and function follows, to explain why singing in canonical keys can lead to jazz female singers’ marginalization, and why transposition to a suitable key is fundamental to achieving an authentic jazz vocal sound. The chapter concludes by outlining several implications of this analysis for jazz practice and education, particularly in relation to the developing female jazz singer. It recommends ways to foster inclusivity regarding female vocalists and key choice.
