Naomi Pilgrim - No Gun

Don't look for a message in this track – there isn't one. 

But I do think this is a first for me: 120bpm, that ubiquitous default tempo which I usually go out of my way to avoid.
 ______________________________________________________

So this one's all about the groove, and for those unfamiliar with the concept (and who would like to find out why trying to turn music into language is often a fruitless undertaking)...

UK musicologist Richard Middleton (1999) notes that while "the concept of groove" has "long [been] familiar in musicians' own usage", musicologists and theorists have only more recently begun to analyze this concept. Middleton states that a groove "... marks an understanding of rhythmic patterning that underlies its role in producing the characteristic rhythmic 'feel' of a piece." He notes that the "feel created by a repeating framework" is also modified with variations. 

Turry and Aigen cite Feld's definition of groove as "an intuitive sense of style as process, a perception of a cycle in motion, a form or organizing pattern being revealed, a recurrent clustering of elements through time." Aigen states that "when [a] groove is established among players, the musical whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts, enabling a person […] to experience something beyond himself which he[/she] cannot create alone (Aigen 2002, p.34)." 

Jeff Pressing's 2002 article claimed that a "groove or feel" is "a cognitive temporal phenomenon emerging from one or more carefully aligned concurrent rhythmic patterns, characterized by...perception of recurring pulses, and subdivision of structure in such pulses,...perception of a cycle of time, of length 2 or more pulses, enabling identification of cycle locations, and...effectiveness of engaging synchronizing body responses (e.g. dance, foot-tapping)". 

Neuroscientific perspectives:

The "groove" has been cited as an example of sensory-motor coupling between neural systems. Sensory-motor coupling is the coupling or integration of the sensory system and motor system. Sensorimotor integration is not a static process. For a given stimulus, there is no one single motor command. "Neural responses at almost every stage of a sensorimotor pathway are modified at short and long timescales by biophysical and synaptic processes, recurrent and feedback connections, and learning, as well as many other internal and external variables".

"Don't Go To Strangers" is a 1954 song by Arthur Kent with lyrics by Redd Evans.  Don't Go to Strangers was Etta Jones' first album for the independent jazz label Prestige when it was released in 1960 (having been recorded in a single session on June 21 of that year), and although Jones had been releasing records since 1944, including a dozen sides for RCA in 1946 and an album for King Records in 1957, she was treated as an overnight sensation when the title tune from the album went gold, hitting the Top 40 on the pop charts and reaching number five on the R&B charts.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.


Build your dreams to the stars above
But when you need someone true to love
Don't go to strangers, darling, come on to me

Play with fire 'til your fingers burn
And when there's no place for you to turn
Don't go to strangers, darling, come on to me

For, when you hear a call to follow your heart
You follow your heart, I know
I've been through it all and I'm an old hand
And I'll understand if you go

So make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company
Don't go to strangers, come on to me

Oh, make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company
Don't go to strangers, darling, come on to me

Thank you Aleck for introducing me to Estate. Such a joy to sing this so special and tender song.
A everlasting beautiful Jazz-standard.
Thank you to Aleck, Axel, Franco for beautiful music!

Aleck Rand writes about this song:
Estate (1960, Bruno Martino, music; Bruno Brighetti, lyrics) began modestly enough as an Italian pop song. At the time, few noticed that it was far from ordinary. However, its sophisticated harmonics and irresistible melody didn’t escape the attention of jazz musicians. Now it is a world standard with performances all over YouTube. Still, there is no definitive version that draws out every bit of its potential. Except for possibly now. Listen.

Estate
You bath me in the glow of your caresses
You've turned my eager no to tender yeses
You sweep away my sorrow with your sigh

Estate
Oh how the golden sunlight bends the willow
Your blossoms send the perfume to my pillow
Oh who could know you half as well as I

I always feel you near me
In every song the morning breeze composes
All the tender wonder of the roses
Each time the setting sun shines on the sea

And when you sleep beneath a snowy cover
I'll keep you in my heart just like a lover
And wait until you come again to me - estate

Estate (Summer). Aleck Rand. Axel Weiss. Franco Quadroni. Oddrun Eikli.

The 1940 Broadway show "Higher and Higher" introduced the Rodgers and Hart tune, “It Never Entered My Mind.” The melody is almost transparent in its simplicity and, in the vacuum of rudimentary harmonies found in standard versions by Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, only the lyrics keep it alive. But what lyrics. Brought up to date with modern harmonies and instrumentation, this is a this love song of unheeded warning.

Thank you for visiting my page.

I just make music I like, and if you like any of it too, cool.

I'm afraid I don't do Follow-for-Follow, because it's stupid, and doing so simply betrays a complete lack of integrity.  Also, I have never paid for plays/favourites/followers and so on, and I never will, so please don't waste your time trying to offer me such services; I will simply block you and report you for spam. 

I hope you enjoy my music.
