Solitude
( Naar de Nederlandse vertaling.)
Recorded on location at the Hey Hey Club between the 11th and 22nd of May 1995 for the Robert Altman film Kansas City. Solitude was recorded for the very first time by the Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1934 and became a standard in jazz. It was recorded many times by hundreds of bands, like Django Reinhardt (1936) and Billie Holiday ( 1952).

THE LADY WHO SHOT LEE MORGAN:
Larry Reni Thomas sent me a comment regarding the John Campos contribution: the Murder Of Lee Morgan I published some days ago. Larry Reni Thomas wrote an article about this subject, titled The Lady Who Shot Lee Morgan.
Congratulations on a fine blog and helping shine light on a subject that deserves much more study and attention. It is one of those incidents in jazz history that has not been properly researched and talked about enough. Recently, there has been an interest in Lee Morgan as well as how his life ended so tragically, with a book by Tom Perchard, a January 2007 downbeat article, a soon-to-be-released DVD, and a new book called Delightfulee due soon. None of these sources have quotes from Helen Morgan (she never called herself More or Moore, her maiden name was Joyner). I first met her in the early 1990s when she was a history student of mine at an evening college in North Carolina. In 1996, she granted me an almost two hour interview. She talked about how she met Lee, their life together, her role in the revival of his career and his death and how it came about. One month after our interview, she died of a weak heart. I think John Campos was right about one thing--Lee was viewed as an arrogance kind of cat who could really blow.
Solitude werd voor het eerst uitgevoerd door het Duke Ellington orkest in 1934 en werd een standard, die daarna nog vele malen werd uitgevoerd o.a. door Django Reinhardt (1936) en Billie Holiday ( 1952).

None of these sources have quotes from Helen Morgan (she never called herself More or Moore, her maiden name was Joyner) ( = Geen van deze bronnen heeft uitspraken van Helen Morgan (ze noemde zichzelf nooit More of Moore - haar meisjesnaam was Joyner).

It's all over ........ Last night the Russian soccer team beat the Dutch national team with 3 - 1. For most Oranje soccer fans, orange is the colour of our national team, it feels sad - as a heavy defeat - as a bitter disappointment ........ Well, enjoy this great version of Solitude, which express our feelings ...... Solitude
