PLAYLIST FOR “THE (LOST) ART OF WRITING LETTERS” (5.14.16)

16 May

Remember when 140 characters meant a Tolstoy novel, not our major means of communicating with each other? Remember when Snail Mail referred to the gender of a specie, not to the U.S. Postal Service? Remember when a sound bite was an accident with the neighbor’s dog, not a statement by a politician? (Although you’d probably be wise to get a rabies shot after both of those events.) We seem to have lost a number of things these days – skills such as logic, empathy, listening. This week I thought I’d tackle the lost art of letter writing with a couple dozen wonderful songs and singers on the topic.

TAKE A LETTER, MISS JONES / Mel Torme / “Live At Marty’s”
LOVE LETTERS / Natalie Cole / “Stardust”
I’M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND WRITE MYSELF A LETTER / Frank Sinatra / “Sinatra/Basie: The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings”

FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT / Leonard Cohen / “The Essential Leonard Cohen”
DEAR BIX / Renee Yoxon & Chad Linsley / “Impossible: Live At Musideum”
TONY BENNETT / Kevin Mahogany / “Old, New, Borrowed, And The Blues”
TOO MARVELOUS FOR WORDS / Helen Merrill / “Casa Forte”
YOU’RE THE TOP / (Mystery Vocalist) / Cary Grant & Ginny Sims / “Music of Cole Porter”
MONA LISA / Keith Jarrett / “Tokyo 96”
SMITTEN WITH YOU / Lorraine Feather / “Attachments”
HONEY PIE / Tuck & Patty / “Love Warriors”
HEY JOHN / Blossom Dearie / “Blossom Dearie Sings”
HEY YOU WITH THE CRAZY EYES / Loston Harris / “Swingfully Yours”
BABY, WON’T YOU PLEASE COME HOME / Champian Fulton / “After Dark”
MEET ME AT NO SPECIAL PLACE / Maud Hixson / “Love’s Refrain”
LONELY TIME / Maynard Ferguson / “Message From Birdland”
YOU’RE DRIVING ME CRAZY / Curtis Stigers / “Secret Heart”
DEARLY BELOVED / Nancy Wilson / “Hollywood My Way”
THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT / Tony Bennett / “Rarities, Outtakes, & Other Delights, Vol. 2””
HURRY IT’S LOVELY UP HERE / Mark Jennett / “Everybody Says Don’t”
DON’T SMOKE IN BED / Nina Simone / “Little Girl Blue”
PARIS MISMATCH / (Theme Music) / Cody Owen Stine
