Diana Krall - But Not For Me

This is a live performance by contemporary jazz artist Diana Krall playing her take on the classic jazz song "But Not For Me". She starts of by playing a bit in the original tempo and feel and then moves on to playing the whole song in a much more melancholic and slow tone and feel. The performance is from the TV-show "Spectacle: Elvis Costello with...".
The song was originally composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin. It was originally made for the musical "Girl Crazy" (1930) and Judy Garland sang it in the 1943 film version of the aforementioned stage musical.
It has been recorded by a huge amount of artist, including: Carol Burnett, Miles Davis, Doris Day, John Coltrane, Elvis Costello, Elton John, Frank Sinatra and Chet Baker.
I am personally very found of the version Chet Baker does of this song. (embeded below).

There's no video footage, but pictures and pretty good audio quality. I love how he doesn't have the biggest voice ever, but makes so good use of what he has and just sings it with so much feeling. Then on top of that we get his trumpet playing which is just phenomenal. I recommend both versions of this song, cause they're both great in their own right.

Enjoy ; )

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Change It

This is a performance from blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan, it's him performing the song "Change It". It's one of Stevie's best, it has a melancholic feel to it, but still sort of a sad cheerful nature, true soul, no one but Stevie could do this. It was released on Stevie's 1985 album "Soul to Soul".
I don't think they performed it live that often, I've only been able to find this one clip that's live from Farm Aid, but other than that I don't think they played it live that often.
It's a great song, and a good live performance that catches the soul and tension that is on the original recording, truly great.

Enjoy ; )
