A timeless song written by Rogers and Hart. Solo, trumpet and piano ￼- covered by Janis Joplin and Diana Krall to name a couple. 

Lyrics:

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl, you're through
Sit there, count your little fingers
Unhappy little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time, you knew
All you can ever count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
Won't you just sit there
Count the little raindrops
Falling on you
'Cause it's time, you knew
All you can ever count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use, old girl
You might as well surrender
'Cause your hopes are getting slender and slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue

By Rodgers Richard / Hart Lorenz

Little Girl Blue —Jazz

Originally I went into the studio to record a 5/4 arrangement of "My Favourite Things" (another Rogers tune) but as you may hear I got side-tracked...
Anyway, on this stormy-rainy February day, I send some love out into the world.  Can't have enough love, right?

Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered - Jayne Darling 1940's Singer

Why not spin a jazz classic in a little more contemporary way?  Here's one of my very favorite tunes - My Funny Valentine - played to a slightly hipper groove.  I was born on Valentine's Day, so the tune has always had special meaning for me.

Thanks as always for listening, for your comments and for your shares.

My Funky Valentine - Rogers & Hart

BBB instrumental, mandolin and guitar, recorded as two separate parts.   Would be great if part of a vocal arrangement!  Hmm. . .  who do I know who sings?  

Bewitched Bothered And Bewildered Instrumental excerpt

Played by Albert Ahlf- Piano, Joe Beerman- Bass, Chase Locke- Drums.  Played in the style of the late Bill Evans Trio.  Recorded live at SUNY Purchase for my Senior Recital in Jazz Studies.  Shout-out to my teacher ANDY LAVERNE :D

My Romance

Cantina- An Acapella album is a piece set in a cold cellar, or as Italians call it, a Cantina- a dark, dank place in the basement where all the salamis and tomato sauce jars and wine are stored. 

I imagine a woman sneaking down into her Cantina and sing the songs that mean something to her, in a place where no one else can hear her thoughts, feelings, emotions, heartache, sadness, sorrow, then redemption. The songs include:

1- Nobody's Heart Belongs to Me
2- The Way He Makes Me Feel
3- You made me love you
4- They can't take that away from me
5- The Man That Got Away
6- Smile
7- Losing My Mind
8- Cry Me A River
9- I Will Survive

Cantina- An Acapella Album

Algonquin Salon Open Mic - Algonquin Hotel - June 2009.

Live performance of a medley of "My Heart Stood Still," "Close Enough for Love," "A Time for Love," and "My Funny Valentine" at a recital in Khabarovsk Krai Philharmonia, Khabarovsk, Russia, circa 2004.

Del Carry is a composer and musician who plays contemporary classical, film music, jazz and some rock and blues. He plays piano, Bb trumpet, C flute, EWI wind controller, guitar [electric and acoustics and a wide range of virtual sampled instruments as well as having played in a few jazz-rock "Chicago" type live bands]. The pieces offered on SoundCloud are a very small sample of over 450 compositions.

If you are so inclined, I would also encourage any constructive criticism of my music. If my music does not fit in your musical taste and experience, it’s probably not wise to comment, but if it does, and you notice obvious things that I have overlooked or I could do better, I am open. It does not take long to lose one’s objectivity when hearing the piece possibly hundreds or times. 

But please be kind. I may not always agree, but will appreciate your effort, care and feedback.

I am a singer and multi-instrumentalist. My initial incarnation was as a           wyrd/psych-folk singer-musician, and saw my debut solo album, Wednesday’s Child, released in  2010. Subsequent (unreleased) solo albums include self-penned material alongside an eclectic mix of covers from various genres. 

I have gigged and/or recorded with Elowen, The Rowan Amber Mill (album releases include 'Midsummers', 'Heartwood' and 'Folk Devils and Moral Panics' ) Corncrow (album releases include 'Sweet Nightingale' and 'So Brightly Shining') The Atwood Machine, Mats Bergman's 'Burnt More Bridges Than Cross The River Thames' vinyl release, Dead Melodies 'Murken Hollow' and featured on various collaborations; releases including Dark Britannica's We Bring You A King With A Head Of Gold and Rif Mountain's Echoes From The Mountain, all widely available .

The lockdown gave me ample opportunity for music to be made at Wyrd House Studio. Back to my folky roots, and after a 10 year hiatus, The Rowan Amber Mill released a mini-album 'Among the Gorse To Settle Scores', ahead of the full-length 'Golden Strings To Tether The Sun'.
