¡Es la entrada número 2.000 del blog! ¡2.000 canciones, 2.000 sueños musicales, 2.000 aventuras sonoras! ¿Qué elegir para este momento? Después de muchas vueltas, me he decantado por una de esas canciones que forma parte de la experiencia sonora de todo amante de la música de jazz, por Stardust, el tema clásico de Hoagy Carmichael y Mitchell Parish, del que existen cientos de versiones de todos los tonos y voces. No quiero que sea un gran clásico, sino un momento sencillo en una voz intensa como la de Etta Jones, que nos transmite emoción y belleza. Con Cedar Walton al piano, George Devens en el vibráfono, George Duvivier al bajo y el batería Frankie Jones. Se grabó el 7 de agosto de 1980, en New Jersey, apareciendo en The Savoy Recordings. You wander down the lane and far away / Leaving me a song that will not die... ¡Disfrútalo!
Stardust
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by. Sometimes I wonder, how I spend
The lonely nights
Dreaming of a song
The melody
Haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright
You are in my arms The nightingale
Tells his fairytale
Of paradise, where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.
And now the purple dusk of twilight time

The music of the years gone by. Sometimes I wonder, how I spend
The lonely nights
