Etta Jones - Canadian Sunset (Prestige Records 1961) descargar videos gratis

"Canadian Sunset" is a song written by Eddie Heywood. Etta Jones was an American jazz singer whose critical success and relative commercial obscurity earned her a reputation in her lifetime as a "jazz musician's jazz singer". A highly underrated singer who rarely received the recognition she richly deserved, perhaps the salient mark of her obscurity was the number of times even followers of the female jazz vocal scene would confuse her with a more popular singer, Etta James. Etta Jones is noted for her elegant interpretations of standards, ballads, and blues. Her characteristic inflections have sometimes prompted comparisons to stylistic devices employed by Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington.

Etta's accompanied by George Duvivier (bass), Roy Haynes (drums), Richard Wyands (piano) and Lem Winchester (vibraphone). Recorded in 1961. (Prestige Records)

Once I was alone

So lonely and then

You came, out of nowhere

Like the sun up from the hills

Cold, cold was the wind

Warm, warm were your lips

Out there, on that ski trail

Where your kiss filled me with thrills

A weekend in Canada, a change of scene

Was the most I bargained for

And then I discovered you and in your eyes

I found the love that I couldn't ignore

Down, down came the sun

Fast, fast, beat my heart

I knew as the sun set

From that day, we'd never part

From that day, we'd never part

From that day, we'd never part

From that day, we'd never part
