Joe "Herbie" Alterman - beautiful soul jazz~!

There can't be two
put on your shoes.
You can't be sick
expose your wrist.
Watch the black slide.
See the enemy mild.
I can't sleep.
Put up the bricks to stick.
God damn the morning!

In the moments before the steam
bring it to me, and I will break everything.

I show you a flower
and you drop it down the sink.

This is one of Yukie Nishimura's beautiful masterpieces. The sad and memorable melody touches my heart every time I listen to it.

Lyrics:
She asked me:
If I untie you from this bed post
Take off those handcuffs
And promise to give back your pants
Do you promise to follow all my nighttime plans?
She said: I'm gonna take you to a party on the West Coast
I know the host
They'll have something there you'll like
Inhalants
Smoking platlets
Models drinking Popov
On a hunger strike

(Chorus)
I'm learning human nature
I'm a skinny man at the feast
I'm under the influence of charismatic people
I'm the tapeworm in the belly of the beast

Yeah, I guess I was feeling alright
I parked a car in a mansion driveway
She said: This couple, they have more money than brains
But they're celebrities
So I can't say any names
She took me to a party on the west coast
She knew the host
They have something there I like
Caviar and Cheetos
We steal a couple of Japanese motorbikes
(Chorus)

We're tripping the lights fantastic
We hit the highway
As our speed kicks in
Techno music blasting
220 BPM
I say: Cue the split screen
And don't hesitate 
Sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky
Fingers in the collection plate
Because life doesn't have to be perfect
It just has to be great
(chorus)

She said: 
"Life doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be great!"

A Tapeworm In The Belly Of The Beast

A score filled with the choir, pizz strings, and tubular bells with the organ drawing us near at the end.

Verse 1]
Wir brauchten früher keine große Reise
Wir wurden braun auf Borkum und auf Sylt
Doch heute sind die Braunen nur noch Weiße
Denn hier wird man ja doch nur tiefgekühlt
Ja früher gab's noch Hitzefrei
Das Freibad war schon auf im Mai
Ich saß bis in die Nacht vor unserem Haus
Da hatten wir noch Sonnenbrand
Und Riesenquallen an dem Strand
Und Eis und jeder Schutzmann zog die Jacke aus

[Chorus]
Wann wird's mal wieder richtig Sommer
Ein Sommer wie er früher einmal war?
Ja mit Sonnenschein von Juni bis September
Und nicht so nass und so sibirisch wie im letzten Jahr

[Verse 2]
Und was wir da für Hitzewellen hatten –
Pulloverfabrikanten gingen ein –
Da gab es bis zu vierzig Grad im Schatten
Wir mussten mit dem Wasser sparsam sein
Die Sonne knallte ins Gesicht
Da brauchte man die Sauna nicht
Ein Schaf war damals froh wenn man es schor
Es war hier wie in Afrika
Wer durfte machte FKK –
Doch heut', heut' summen alle Mücken laut im Chor

english:

Verse 1]
We didn't need a long journey back then.
We got tanned on Borkum and Sylt.
But today, the brown ones are only white.
Because here you just get frozen.
Yes, back then, there were still heat holidays.
The outdoor pool was already open in May.
I sat in front of our house until late into the night.
We still had sunburns.
And giant jellyfish on the beach.
And ice, and every police officer took off their jackets.

[Chorus]
When will it be truly summer again?
A summer like it used to be?
Yes, with sunshine from June to September
And not as wet and as Siberian as last year

[Verse 2]
And what heatwaves we had –
Sweater manufacturers went under –
It was up to 40 degrees in the shade
We had to be sparing with water
The sun beat down on our faces
There was no need for a sauna
Back then, a sheep was happy to be sheared
It was like Africa here
Those who were allowed to go nude –
But today, today, all the mosquitoes are buzzing loudly in unison

Comin' Home To You

I Heard It Through The Grapevine | Joe Alterman

Atlanta native Joe Alterman expresses a certain upbeat naivete, with a broad smile and bright eyes that make you feel welcome. One would not guess that this is a man hailed by greats; Ramsey Lewis describes his music as "happy music with tasty meat on the bones," Les McCann states "Joe's on a 'blow your mind' level," and Ahmad Jamal calls him "a very special artist." The 21st century has brought another transition for this thing called jazz; in one moment we see the push and pull between tradition and progression, and in another we see Pop and Hip-Hop musicians emulating and sampling. In Joe Alterman we find none of this struggle; the music just sounds good. Our conscious faculties are instantly disabled as we tap our feet, feeling the intent and joy of his playing. An old classic is new when you feel good in the moment. Or, as legendary journalist Nat Hentoff wrote about Alterman in the Wall Street Journal, "Alterman’s continually evolving presence on the jazz scene surely makes people smile and, if the room is right, dance. There’ll be no need for any last rites of jazz.”
