Missing Cotty's Jazz Club? on 14:42 - Jun 16 by Keno
nice!
not sure what happened with my 2nd link!!
Have you come across the Post Modern Jukebox
I haven't, quite undecided whether I prefer the pomp of the original or the more seductively sung cover there. Entirely unrelated to the Kenny Burrell I posted, does flamenco tinged acoustic guitar cover of a singer / songwriter count as jazz?

Surely Moondance is a jazz tune in the first place.
Not sure I'd categorise Van Morrison as part of the singer songwriter genre.

Of course 'Moondance' is pretty much a jazz piece, and although Van Morrison writes songs and sings songs he doesn't fit into the James Taylor / Joni Mitchell genre. I was trying to pull apart the mystique around the song to show its roots in Kenny Burrell's 'Midnight Blue' (and maybe that was borrowed from even earlier strands from clubs and studios). From Ritchie Yorke's 'Into The Music':
'With 'Moondance', I wrote the melody first. I played the melody on a soprano sax and I knew I had a song so I wrote lyrics to go with the melody. That's the way I wrote that one.I don't really have any words to describe the song, sophisticated is probably the word I'm looking for. For me, 'Moondance' is a sophisticated song. Frank Sinatra wouldn't be out of place singing that.' (page 73, Charisma Books, London, 1975)
