Jazz singer Jimmy Scott has died at the age of eighty-nine. I looked back at his life for the BBC World Service...

Jimmy Scott    1925-2014

Jimmy Smith should have belonged to my parents or, at the very least, my older brothers' generation. His career began as the 2nd World War ended, the biggest break in his career happened the year I was 2 and Kennedy died - and turned out to be just that. A career break. With his voice strangled by red tape the falsetto-maestro returned to cleveland where he spent the guts of twenty years getting work where he could, from bell-hop to pawn-shop. The sun began to rise again in the late eighties, then he appeared in Twin Peaks, he sang at a funeral and in no time flat, in his late 60s, he was the toast of the town.

Jazz tenorist Daniel Moran reworks two Coltrane originals and a Rollins classic in the post-bop jazz genre for this demo.  The Jazz standard "Autumn Leaves" is added to balance the set of what can be termed post-modern jazz.  This demo is compiled to whet the listener's appetite for more of this classic genre re-worked and re-visited.  Forthcoming gigs will be posted on the facebook page.

Angelo Badalamenti / Falling

I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying
Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying
And though I see the danger, still the flame grows higher
I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire

Just like a torch, you set the soul within me burning
I must go on, I'm on this road of no returning
And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes
My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire

I can't resist you, what good is there in trying?
What good is there denying you're all that I desire?
Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely
If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be
Don't pity me, don't pity me

Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
Though it consumes me, your kiss of fire

I can't resist you, what good is there in trying?
What good is there denying you're all that I desire?
Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely
If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be
Don't pity me, don't pity me

Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
Though it consumes me??. the kiss of fire!!!

Aaah Burn me!!!
