ItÆs Easy to Remember (A Jazz Story Memory) - Kurt Elling (库特·艾灵)
That sweet expression the smile you gave me
It's easy to remember or is it
A poetic jazz memory
It's March of 1963 in mid-morning New Jersey
Two musicians drive through the snow-bound suburban landscape
On their way to a recording session
One an intensely dedicated musical explorer
Has of late been studying the way singers breathe
And hopes he will hear Frank Sinatra on the radio
So he can consider one more notion before the session
The other an experienced song stylist wonders
Whether he'll ever hear his own voice over the airwaves
The two men met only last week
And have only played a few pieces together
The singer sitting in informally at a club in Manhattan
The singer is a little concerned that the band was gonna break
Into some of the "wild stuff" he's heard them play
But the band leader a gentle and positive man
Will be going for something altogether different on this occasion
Something wholely sympathetic to the sound the singer has
The two are joking and smoking and
Talking about the songs they will record today
They carry no charts and have made no formal musical arrangements
Or even had a real rehearsal
Everyone at the session will know the tunes already
Each man having performed them in a hundred different contexts
No one at the session will need to be told what to do or what to play
The band is so well acquainted that any mood
That needs to be established will come naturally
As the cats in the car talk about what is to come
Over the car's radio comes Nat Cole singing Lush Life
Though he doesn't know all the words
Out of fun the singer joins in anyway
And the two add one more tune to the set list
When they get to the studio
They end up recording it in one take
In fact they do everything in one take
Almost the entire record
Except You Are Too Beautiful
Where they do a second take because of a dropped drumstick
In three or four hours they're done
Laughter handshakes a long drive home
Just a year or so later
John Coltrane will go on to the highest artistic peaks
Leading the same band in the creation of
Crescent and A Love Supreme
Arguably the defining works of his career
And among the most beloved and respected in the history of recorded music
Although Johnny Hartman will go on to make some great ballad records after this one
Including some attempting to echo the magic of the one he makes with Trane
Most go unnoticed upon their release
Broad fame will elude Hartman until well after his death
But we remember them both
We're jazz people and for us it's easy
