Comments on: Autumn in New York http://oldfogey.podbean.com/2008/10/14/autumn-in-new-york/ A celebration of music that isn't insolent or absurd. You won't find Pierre Boulez or John Coltrane here.

In my own defence I will say only that Sinatra singing it straight and simply doesn't take our attention away from the song. With Ella and Louis (Louis especially) I find I'm listening more to what they are doing with the song rather than purely to the song. But they are inimitable. botogol - Yes, Ella and Louis are very good. In my own defence I will say only that Sinatra singing it straight and simply doesn’t take our attention away from the song.

Schimatra! Give me the Ella & Louis version any day! Autumn in New York song was one of the highlights of their 56/57 sessions with their voices, Louis' trumpet and the simple arrangements all combing perfectly for three golden minutes. I suspect that AinNY was one of the songs where the first take was so good it that they kept it, and it made it on to the album, certainly Louis' shaky pronunciation was uncorrected (the "greemy" rooftops at sundown, the gay "divorces"). I think that explains the freshness for above all they all seem to be *enjoying themselves* so much on that track. Sinatra? Schimatra! Give me the Ella & Louis version any day!
