I will be on a "special" mission for 11 days beginning on the 11th and will have limited access to the Internet. I don't expect to write any blogs during that period unless Our Heavenly Father decides something different. For those who haven't yet watched our online broadcasts of "Raising a Remnant", I encourage you to do so. We archive them so you are not required to watch them live. Go to http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-baptism-of-love It is best to watch them in order. If you get a single, fresh revelation in 75 minutes of viewing, isn't it worth it? You don't even have to travel a thousand miles to get it. What a deal!
We will not have our weekly Bible study on the 12th or 19th, but will resume on the 26th.
Our Heavenly Father uses various means to express HIS Heart and Character. The Holy Scripture is one means, these blogs are another means, and writings by those who have studied and meditated on HIS Word are another great source.
Over the years I have read countless books and listened to many recordings, some as many as six to seven times. Why so many? Because the concentration of revelation and understanding contained necessitated multiple exposures. It's is one aspect of immersing yourself in revelation.
Raising a Remnant is another such book. While at the beach, I like to read and contemplate the deeper truths. The peace and tranquility of the waves provide an excellent backdrop for a revelation to "soak in".
We will mail you a book at no cost. The biggest issue I have with this book is that if I underline everything I want to go back and review, each page begins to take on a yellow hue! Do you get my drift?
Isaiah 1:9 states, "Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah." Throughout the ages the Lord has reserved a people unto Himself (Romans11:4,5) who resemble a stream of living water winding its way through the wilderness until it assembles as a pool in the end, becoming a lake surrounded by the arid earth. These people believing God's promises, carry within themselves from one generation to the next the love of the truth of the Kingdom of God. Hebrews chapter eleven provides us testimony of some of these believers. This Remnant preserves mankind unto the coming Day of the Lord Jesus Christ. After the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches and the lusts of other things have claimed their toll on the majority of men, those who remain are those who adhere to the promises of God. This Remnant in the end shall be raised up as His standard. In that time, that which has been unseen shall be seen, for it will be revealed through the Remnant.
You may purchase this book at: www.unity153.net and click on "Books" button.
We will gladly send you the book at our expense. Now is the time to prepare yourself for what lies ahead. As for me, I have read it once and will read and study it again. The truths in it are important for us to have written on our hearts and foreheads.
As always, if you do not have the funds to purchase the book we will send you a free copy and pay the shipping & handling as well. Why? Because we Love you and we don't want you to miss out on the Spiritual Truths contained in this book!
I am pleased to announce the latest book published by Servias Ministries is now available for ordering at the www.unity153.net website.
I have read the manuscript and believe that the book should be read by every person who wants to move to a higher level of maturity in the Body of Christ. Kemper is one of the members of our Online Bible Study and provides a fresh look at many passages we cover. Our Heavenly Father has hidden him away for the last couple of decades and he has focused intently on understanding the breadth of the Word. I know for a certainty that when we cover his book in our Bible study, many of the brethren will be grateful for his willingness to write this book for distribution. I also know that I will read this book again as I want to immerse myself in the many truths that are contained therein.
We expect to begin filling orders for the book by the end of next week.
The Lord Jesus Christ is perceived by many to be a prominent religious figure whose influence on world events is debatable and whose teaching is subject to personal interpretation. This book explains that structures and functions in creation are based on scientific laws of physics that are in agreement with revelations found in the narrative of Sacred Scripture.

I want to thank you for sending the Ascending to Love book. I have read it and I have had dreams and visions which confirm to me what was written in the book.
myself because I knew God would take care of me when I reached out to others. Also I could NOT be offended in anyway by anyone. There was no self in that love. There was no fear. If God wanted me to talk to thousands or even millions of people there wouldn't be any fear because I knew God would give me the right words to say. (normally I couldn't do that) This only lasted a short time. It was a beautiful place to be always. I do believe this is the revelation of love this book is about.
Thank you Robert Henley for writing this book and giving it freely.
Her vision depicts one of the fruit I expect to come forth as we embrace the fullness of Love.

William Charles Retford (1875–1970) and William R. Retford (1899–1960) were English musical instrument bow-makers, working for the firm of W.E. Hill & Sons. Retford is recognized as developing the Hill bow, along with Alfred Hill.

William C. Retford was a perfectionist who became known as the best bow craftsman of his time.
He created (and was first to use) the fleur-de-lis design on the best quality gold and tortoiseshell bows. In 1964, William C. Retford wrote "Bows and Bowmakers", which offered a new perspective regarding English bows.

William Richard  Retford (1899–1960) trained as a bow maker with his father. Unfortunately William Richard found it difficult to live up to his father's fame. Although he was employed by the Hills, he mainly worked on rehairing bows.,

After the death of William C. Retford, his colleagues Mr. Porter and Mr. Yeoman arranged with William R Retford's daughter that all his tools and other material should be donated to the Bate Collection of Musical Instruments in Oxford in his memory. In addition, they and Arthur Bultitude established the nucleus of the Retford Memorial Collection of Bows. The collection includes viol and viola d'amore bows by Edward Dodd.

Celebrities from Barcelona
Written by Christine
Barcelona is where some of the world's most famous celebrities are from. From football players to singers and actors, Barcelona boasts an impressive list of successful natives who are known around the globe for their various talents. Here is just a sampling of this impressive city's most notable citizens.

Born and raised in Barcelona, Gerard Piqué is one of FC Barcelona's most famous soccer players. After playing for Manchester United for a few seasons, Piqué returned to Barcelona in 2008 and has been playing centre-back ever since for Barça. He was destined to stay and play in Barcelona as his grandfather, Amado Bernabeu, used to be the vice president of FC Barcelona. He currently lives with his wife, singer Shakira, and their children and continues to be a fan favorite.
One of Barcelona's best-known opera singers, José Carreras, has been performing since he was a child, studying and later performing at Barcelona's famed Liceu Opera House. Carreras has performed over 60 roles in various operas, especially in those by Verdi. This famous singer is not only known for his amazing artistic abilities but also for his humanitarian work, as he founded the José Carreras International Leukemia Foundation, located in Barcelona. He continues to perform in Barcelona and record music with some of the biggest names in the industry.

Pep Guardiola is from Santpedor, a village located just outside of Barcelona. One of FC Barcelona's most talented players during the 1990's, he served as the captain for several seasons. He played for Barça during 17 seasons until he left to play for other teams in Italy. Guardiola retired from playing in 2006 and later returned to Barcelona to serve as the team's manager from 2007-2012. He currently lives in Manchester and is the manager of Manchester City.
Even though he is one of Germany's most famous actors, Daniel Brühl was born in Barcelona in 1978. Not long after he was born, his family moved to Germany where he began acting on a German soap opera at a young age. Due to his Catalan mother, he speaks fluent Spanish and Catalan. He is also known internationally, as he has appeared in films such as The Bourne Ultimatum and Inglorious Basterds. Brühl has won many awards and has been nominated for a Goya award in Spain.

A native of Poble Sec, José Manuel Serrat is highly regarded as one of the most important influences in Spanish and Catalan pop music. This famous singer got started as a teenager in the 1960's, as part of a pop band and later going on to perform in Barcelona's famed Palau de la Musica Catalana. During this time, he became an important figure in Catalonia because he chose to sing in Catalan and not Spanish, which at the time was risky due to Franco's government. During his career, he has written many songs about life in Catalonia and was eventually exiled because of his opposition to Franco. He returned to Spain in 1975, after Franco's death. He currently lives in Barcelona, where he continues to make music.

BAGUIO CITY, Benguet - Since 2010, we have always been curious about Hill Station Restaurant everytime we would pass in front of Casa Vallejo. This time, we finally took the time to check out what this restaurant has to offer for breakfast.
We arrived early in the morning in Baguio City at 6:00am. As we passed by Casa Vallejo, we asked the front desk what time the restaurant starts serving breakfast. The lady replied, "7:00am po sir." So we checked-in our bags at the nearby Bloomfield Hotel and went back to Hill Station.
From the lobby of Casa Vallejo, we were directed to the stairways leading to the restaurant. The interior of Hill Station has a colonial American feel, with its wooden floor, high ceiling, huge windows and pine trees at the background.
To celebrate the occasion, we ordered Baguio's very own version of longanisa. It was served with scrambled egg and garlic fried rice. And to jumpstart the day, we ordered Cordillera coffee.
Now, that is what we call breakfast.

"The Personality Disorders: Cluster B"
An adulterous woman consumes a man, then wipes her mouth and says, "What's wrong with that?" - Proverbs 30:20
This was written by by Simone Hoermann, Ph.D., Corinne E. Zupanick, Psy.D. & Mark Dombeck, Ph.D. It is from the site Hope Happens Here.
The main characteristic of the Cluster B (Personality Disorder) is: "It's not my fault! You made me do it! It's your fault!" In other words, they think they are always innocent.
I have met every one of the people described below. In fact, I was raised with them, and many of them are, or were, in prison.
Contrary to the myth of these people having high self-esteem, it's all a fraud, covering up the fact they are as hollow as a balloon, consumed with hate and envy, and incapable of empathy or love.
"Cluster B is called the dramatic, emotional, and erratic cluster. It includes Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Histrionic Personality Disorder, and Antisocial Personality Disorder. Disorders in this cluster share problems with impulse control and emotional regulation.
"The Antisocial Personality Disorder* is characterized by a pervasive pattern of disregard for the rights of other people that often manifests as hostility and/or aggression. Deceit and manipulation are also central features. In many cases hostile-aggressive and deceitful behaviors may first appear during childhood. These children may hurt or torment animals or people. They may engage in hostile acts such as bullying or intimidating others. They may have a reckless disregard for property such as setting fires. They often engage in deceit, theft, and other serious violations of standard rules of conduct. When this is the case, Conduct Disorder (a juvenile form of Antisocial Personality Disorder) may be an appropriate diagnosis. Conduct Disorder is often considered the precursor to an Antisocial Personality Disorder.
"In addition to reckless disregard for others, they often place themselves in dangerous or risky situations. They frequently act on impulsive urges without considering the consequences. This difficulty with impulse control results in loss of employment, accidents, legal difficulties, and incarceration. Persons with Antisocial Personality Disorder typically do not experience genuine remorse for the harm they cause others. However, they can become quite adept at feigning remorse when it is in their best interest to do so (such as when standing before a judge). They take little to no responsibility for their actions. In fact, they will often blame their victims for "causing" their wrong actions, or deserving of their fate. The aggressive features of this personality disorder make it stand out among other personality disorders as individuals with this disorder take a unique toll on society.
"Persons with Histrionic Personality Disorder* are characterized by a pattern of excessive emotionality and attention seeking. Their lives are full of drama (so-called 'drama queens'). They are uncomfortable in situations where they are not the center of attention. People with this disorder are often quite flirtatious or seductive, and like to dress in a manner that draws attention to them. They can be flamboyant and theatrical, exhibiting an exaggerated degree of emotional expression. Yet simultaneously, their emotional expression is vague, shallow, and lacking in detail. This gives them the appearance of being disingenuous and insincere. Moreover, the drama and exaggerated emotional expression often embarrasses friends and acquaintances as they may embrace even casual acquaintances with excessive ardor, or may sob uncontrollably over some minor sentimentality.
"People with Histrionic Personality Disorder can appear flighty and fickle. Their behavioral style often gets in the way of truly intimate relationships, but it is also the case that they are uncomfortable being alone. They tend to feel depressed when they are not the center of attention. When they are in relationships, they often imagine relationships to be more intimate in nature than they actually are. People with Histrionic Personality Disorder tend to be suggestible; that is, they are easily influenced by other people's suggestions and opinions. A literary character that exemplifies the Histrionic Personality Disorder is the character of Blanche DuBois in Tennessee William's classic play, 'Streetcar Named Desire.'
"People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder* have significant problems with their sense of self-worth stemming from a powerful sense of entitlement. This leads them to believe they deserve special treatment, and to assume they have special powers, are uniquely talented, or that they are especially brilliant or attractive. Their sense of entitlement can lead them to act in ways that fundamentally disregard and disrespect the worth of those around them.
People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder are preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success and power, so much so that they might end up getting lost in their daydreams while they fantasize about their superior intelligence or stunning beauty. These people can get so caught up in their fantasies that they don't put any effort into their daily life and don't direct their energies toward accomplishing their goals. They may believe that they are special and deserve special treatment, and may display an attitude that is arrogant and haughty. This can create a lot of conflict with other people who feel exploited and who dislike being treated in a condescending fashion. People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder often feel devastated when they realize that they have normal, average human limitations; that they are not as special as they think, or that others don't admire them as much as they would like. These realizations are often accompanied by feelings of intense anger or shame that they sometimes take out on other people. Their need to be powerful, and admired, coupled with a lack of empathy for others, makes for conflictual relationships that are often superficial and devoid of real intimacy and caring.
"Status is very important to people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Associating with famous and special people provides them a sense of importance. These individuals can quickly shift from over-idealizing others to devaluing them. However, the same is true of their self-judgments. They tend to vacillate between feeling like they have unlimited abilities, and then feeling deflated, worthless, and devastated when they encounter their normal, average human limitations. Despite their bravado, people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder require a lot of admiration from other people in order to bolster their own fragile self-esteem. They can be quite manipulative in extracting the necessary attention from those people around them.
"Borderline Personality Disorder* is one of the most widely studied personality disorders. People with Borderline Personality Disorder tend to experience intense and unstable emotions and moods that can shift fairly quickly. They generally have a hard time calming down once they have become upset. As a result, they frequently have angry outbursts and engage in impulsive behaviors such as substance abuse, risky sexual liaisons, self-injury, overspending, or binge eating. These behaviors often function to sooth them in the short-term, but harm them in the longer term.
"People with Borderline Personality Disorder tend to see the world in polarized, over-simplified, all-or-nothing terms. They apply their harsh either/or judgments to others and to themselves and their perceptions of themselves and others may quickly vacillate back and forth between 'all good] and 'all bad.' This tendency leads to an unstable sense of self, so that persons with this disorder tend to have a hard time being consistent. They can frequently change careers, relationships, life goals, or residences. Quite often these radical changes occur without any warning or advance preparation.
"People with Borderline Personality Disorder tend to view the world in terms of black-and-white, or all-or-nothing thinking. Their tendency to see the world in black-or-white (polarized) terms makes it easy for them to misinterpret the actions and motivations of others. These polarized thoughts about their relationships with others lead them to experience intense emotional reactions, which in turn interacts with their difficulties in regulating these intense emotions. The result is that they will characteristically experience great distress which they cannot easily control and may subsequently engage in self-destructive behaviors as they do their best to cope. The intensity of their emotions, coupled with their difficulty regulating these emotions, leads them to act impulsively.
"To illustrate the way black-and-white thinking, emotional dys-regulation, and poor impulse regulation all merge and culminate to create interpersonal conflict and distress, let's use an example. Suppose the partner of a woman with Borderline Personality Disorder fails to remember their anniversary. Black-and-white thinking causes her to conclude, 'He doesn't love me anymore' and all-or-nothing thinking leads her to (falsely) conclude, 'If he does not love me, then he must hate me.' Such thoughts would easily lead to some pretty intense emotions, such as feeling rejected, abandoned, sad, and angry. She has a hard time tolerating and dealing with these intense feelings and consequently becomes highly upset and overwhelmed. The intensity of her negative feelings seems unbearable. Next she has a powerful impulse to 'do something' just so that these feelings will go away. She might angrily accuse her partner of having an affair and she might plead with her partner not to leave her.
"Meanwhile her partner is baffled by this extreme reaction, particularly since he is not having an affair, and he readily recalls all his other recent loving gestures. Her partner might also become angry at these wild accusations of infidelity and so the conflict escalates and things get more intense. Alone after the fight, the woman feels overwhelming self-loathing or numbness and goes on to intentionally injure herself (by cutting or burning herself) as a way to cope with her numbness. When her partner learns about this self-harm behavior he can't understand it and concludes he is being manipulated. He expresses his strong concern for her well-being but also his anger. In turn, she feels misunderstood. Clearly, the Borderline Personality Disorder with its combination of distorted thought patterns, intense and under-regulated emotions, and poor impulse control is practically designed to wreak havoc on any interpersonal relationship.
*It is important to remember that everyone can exhibit some of these personality traits from time to time. To meet the diagnostic requirement of a personality disorder, these traits must be inflexible; i.e., they can be regularly observed without regard to time, place, or circumstance. Furthermore, these traits must cause functional impairment and/or subjective distress. Functional impairment means these traits interfere with a person's ability to functional well in society. The symptoms cause problems in interpersonal relationships; or at work, school, or home. Subjective distress means the person with a personality disorder may experience their symptoms as unwanted, harmful, painful, embarrassing, or otherwise cause them distress. The above list only briefly summarizes these individual Cluster B personality disorders. Richer, more detailed descriptions of these disorders are found in the section describing the four core features of personality disorders.

Two Vancouver police officers who shot and killed an armedschizophrenic homeless man were justified in their use of deadly force,Abbotsford police concluded yesterday.
Two Vancouver police officers who shot and killed an armed schizophrenic homeless man were justified in their use of deadly force, Abbotsford police concluded yesterday.
Michael Vann Hubbard, 58, was shot once as he approached two officers on Granville Street during a busy Friday night in Vancouver's Downtown core.
He was waving an extended utility knife, yelling and swearing at the officers and telling them to shoot him.
Abbotsford police conducted the investigation because it involved Vancouver police officers.
More than 80 non-police witnesses saw the incident that was also captured on surveillance video.
Almost all witnesses offered versions of the incident that were consistent with Vancouver police.
Nina Purewal, a lawyer for Vann Hubbard's family, read a short statement from his family. It stated that police should be held accountable for their actions.
The Pivot Legal Society said Vann Hubbard was no threat and that police used too much force.
They also alleged that the opinions of Chief Const. Jim Chu in an internal memo had tainted the Abbotsford police investigation. The memo concerned surveillance video of the incident and was leaked to a Vancouver newspaper.
Vann Hubbard's family is launching a civil suit and has filed a complaint regarding the leaked memo.
Chu expressed his regrets to Vann Hubbard's family but restated that his officer acted within the law and in defence of her own life and the safety of the public.
Abbotsford police also recommended charges of public mischief against Adam Smolcic, a Vancouver man who claimed to have recorded the incident on his cellphone only to have a police officer seize the phone and allegedly delete the footage.
Chu said — if Smolcic is found guilty of trying to dupe the public and discredit Vancouver police —he did not act alone.
He blasted the watchdog organizations who supported Smolcic and news organizations for repeating Smolcic's allegations without skepticism or critical analysis.


Born to parents who were both musicians in 1904, William James Basie was constantly surrounded by music. He began piano lessons with his mother, but he also studied with stride pianists such as Fats Waller.
He began his career in music as an accompanist for Vaudeville performers which took him to Kansas City where he remained after the group fell apart in 1927. It was not long after when he joined up with Walter Page's Blue Devils and Bennie Moten's group. After Moten's death in 1935, Basie started a group called the Barons of Rhythm and it was as part of this group that he received the nickname "Count" Basie after a radio announcer referred to the pianist as such during a live broadcast.
It was also during one of these live Broadcasts that he earned his "break." Journalist and producer John Hammond heard Count Basie during a live broadcast performance and began pitching the performer to a variety of agents and record companies. Not long after, the band began performing in Chicago and New York and it was during this period that "One O'Clock Jump" became the theme song for the group.
In 1958 Count Basie won two Grammy Awards, one for "Best Performance by a Dance Band" and another for "Best Jazz Performance Group" for the album Basie released on Roulette Records. He also received several further nominations and Grammy Awards for later performances and recordings.
In 1976, Basie suffered a heart attack and his health began to slowly decline. He passed away due to cancer at the age of 79.
Pianist Count Basie is arguably one of the most important and influential bandleaders of the swing era which took place in the mid-30s to mid 40s. Although he was not a significant composer, such as fellow bandleader Duke Ellington, Basie built a reputation as an incomparable bandleader.

Social Call sung by Ernestine Anderson
On December 1, 2015, vocalist Lena Seikaly came up from Washington D.C. to our NYC jazzleadsheets.com studio to do three different video presentations of a new Christmas Song, Almost Christmas (Almost Christmas). She met bassist Kanoa Mendenhall for the first time, and before they jumped into the new Christmas song, I thought if would be good to loosen up and get acquainted with something they both knew. With Gigi's 90th birthday only four days before (November 28), Social Call was a perfect choice.
Stockholm Voices: Gunilla Tornfeldt, Maria Winther, Alexander Lovmark, Jakob Sollevi, vocals; Klas Lindquist, alto sax; Carl Bagge, piano; Niklas Fernqvist, bass; Daniel Fredriksson, drums; live in 2014
Christina Bagley live at Towson University's Center for the Arts.
The vocal version of Social Call is a classic, and for good reason. The melody is memorable and lyrical as it weaves through chromatics artfully and with ease.
This is one of our most popular songs, so we've chosen a few recordings to feature here, but a quick Google search will yield many more! This Gigi Gryce standard has remained popular with vocalists through the years: Ernestine Anderson , Betty Carter , Earl Coleman , and lyricist Jon Hendricks all recorded it to great acclaim in the 1950s, but the charming song hasn't lost any of its appeal today: rising star Cecile McLorin Salvant released it on her first album and it sounded just as fresh as ever.
Other notable singers who have recorded Social Call include Karrin Allyson , Christine Correa and Dianne Reeves .
Social Call adapts well to both male and female voices and a variety of keys. We offer it in A-flat, Ernestine's key; B-flat, in which both Betty and Earl sang the piece (Earl an octave lower in his classic bass); C, for sopranos and tenors; and G, which suits low contraltos like Cecile McLorin Salvant, who recorded it in 2010, the same year that she won the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition.
Lyric Description: Jon Hendricks' clever lyric addresses a former lover, explaining that things haven't been going so well for the singer and expressing a desire to rekindle the relationship. All of this happens within the context of a simple casual visit, which the singer hopes will blossom into something more.
Social Call was written as an instrumental; it was first recorded by the Art Farmer Quintet, which featured composer Gigi Gryce on alto sax. The instrumental key was D-flat and it's available on the instrumental page. A little less than five months after the instrumental recording, Gigi recorded with a nonet, arranging the lyric version for Ernestine Anderson to sing. Six months later, Betty Carter did her recording, and within two months thereafter, Earl Coleman became the first male vocalist to record it.

Solo Piano Arrangement: Don Sickler's solo piano arrangement is available. Great for arranger/pianists or for vocalist/pianists getting to know the song.

Social Call sung by Betty Carter
Jekaterina Sarigina, vocals; Viktors Ritovs, piano; Rihards Goba, guitar; Edvins Ozols, bass; Artis Orubs, drums; live in Riga, Latvia, 2014.
Betty Carter recorded Social Call in B-flat, a full step higher than Ernestine Anderson, which we recommend for altos and mezzo-sopranos. As you can hear from the audio clip, this melody does require a rich lower register—the low F is featured quite prominently. This is a great opportunity for a mezzo-soprano to work on extending and strengthening her alto register. Of course, if you don't have a solid low F, try Social Call in the key of C instead.
Gigi Gryce himself arranged this rendition of Social Call for Betty Carter, and it became the title of her album. The album "Social Call" (Columbia JC 36425) was comprised of a session with the Gigi Gryce orchestra from 1956 and a session with the Ray Bryant trio from 1955. The tracks from the Ray Bryant session were originally released as part of "Meet Betty Carter And Ray Bryant," which was put out shortly after the recording in 1955. The album "Social Call," on the other hand, was not released until 1980. Thus, while "Social Call" was recorded in 1956, it was 1958's "Out There With Betty Carter" for Peacock (PLP90) that became Betty's first solo release.

Social Call sung by Earl Coleman
Earl Coleman recorded Social Call in the same key as Betty Carter: B-flat. Of course, he sings it an octave below Betty. For easy reading, we've written the lead sheet in treble clef, so it's written two octaves above where it would sound for a male singer.
If you'd like a bass clef lead sheet for this, or any of our charts, email our vocal editor Rachel Bronstein.
Unfortunately, Earl's version of Social Call doesn't seem to be currently available as a download, but other songs he recorded can be purchased from Amazon.com and iTunes. Definitely a vocalist worth hearing, again and again.
It was only six weeks after Betty Carter recorded Social Call that Earl Coleman became the first male vocalist to record the standard. Earl had recorded a session with the composer Gigi Gryce himself in March of that year (1956) for his album "Earl Coleman Returns." Social Call was recorded for the same release, but on a later session. Interestingly, Gryce did not play on his composition (nor was he present at this later session at all), but Art Farmer, who recorded both the original instrumental version and the first vocal version with Ernestine Anderson (and Gigi Gryce), was on the date.
Jon Hendricks
born on September 16, 1921
Jon Hendricks is an acclaimed jazz vocalist and lyricist known as the "Father of Vocalese." He is considered by numerous critics to be one of the best living scat singers and was named by jazz journalist the "Poet Laureate of Jazz." At 14, Jon frequently sang with Art Tatum. During his college years in Toledo, Ohio, he sang with Charlie Parker, who encouraged him to sing professionally. Jon made his recording debut in 1955 with Dave Lambert; in 1957, he recorded with Lambert and Annie Ross. The trio became one of the best-known jazz vocal groups, known for their use of vocalese and their innovative arrangements. From 1968-1973, Jon worked in Europe; on his return, he worked for the .San Francisco Chronicle. His theatrical work about the history of jazz, The Evolution of the Blues, ran for five years off-Broadway. Jon's lyrics to compositions by Carmen McRae, Ray Charles, Al Jarreau, Bobby McFerrin, and many others. Read more...
Gigi Gryce
November 28, 1925 – March 17, 1983
Gigi Gryce was a fine altoist in the 1950s, but it was his writing skills, both composing and arranging (including composing the standard Minority) that were considered most notable. After growing up in Hartford, CT, and studying at the Boston Conservatory and in Paris, Gryce worked in New York with Max Roach, Tadd Dameron, and Clifford Brown. He toured Europe in 1953 with Lionel Hampton and led several sessions in France on that trip. Read more...
