"Miss Liberty" is the one. Those are Irving Berlin lyrics. I think Nina Simone has a version of the song.

Thanks!
Thanks to you, I just looked it up. It looks like something I might enjoy. The Broadway reviews from 1950 insinuate that the plot is too thinky (my interpretation) , but the songs enjoyed popularity and were covered a lot. I would love to see it. Apparently, the last production was 2005 in San Francisco, and no movie was every made.
Nate Smith - Kinfolk 2: See The Birds (2022)
I love this cover so much, I had to post a large image of it.
Great modern Jazz album from a master drummer. It's really that good. Below is the opening track. Everybody kills it, from Nate to Joel Ross on vibes, to the wordless vocals. The opening song reminds me of several things, including Brazilian Jazz

Vinyl Rip Of The Day
I haven't seen this Danish film, but Mainly Northern Folk shares this information:
"A film by Jack O'Connell based on a Medieval Legend “Tancred L'amour”. It was the first film ever edited to the beat of the music. It was also marketed under the title Christa, and was presented under this name at the Cannes Festival in 1971."
Of immediate interest to us as discophiles is that it contains four uncredited Sandy Denny songs (and one by Melanie). It has never appeared digitally, doubtless due to licensing headaches, though Sandy's songs do appear on her 33 CD box set.
Had I known about this film in college, I might have majored in Medieval Legendry.

Freddie Hubbard - Open Sesame (1960)
Freddie's debut on Blue Note revealed an exuberant player loaded with fresh ideas. Among his sessionmates, Clifford Jarvis is the least familiar name here, but a fine hard bop drummer who logged lots of appearances with artists from Chet Baker to Sun Ra.

Souvaris ~ A Hat (2007)
Post-Rock, Math Rock
With song titles like "Buffle," "Quit Touching My Ass," "Hand or Finger?," "Puny Go Stompin'," "Nobody is Fine and Everybody Needs a Drink," and "The Young Ted Danson," this CD has something for everybody, as long as you are the truest of Scotsmen.
Do not know from whence the band derived the album title of A Hat, but I do recall my brother receiving a wrapped record album at Xmas bitd and exclaiming, "Somebody got me a hat," before balancing said item on his head.
Which only goes to show that there's one in every family, and fortunately or unfortunately that one is me.

I wouldna know. Ask Zeeba. He's more into that kind of thing.
Or, at least, the man who mistook his wife for an aficionado of late 80's obscure pop music when she just wanted to hit the antique sales.

Samora Pinderhughes - Grief (2022)
Flisten
I took a winding path to this album. Samora's sister, Elena, is a flautist who's appeared on several Jazz albums I've bought over the past few years. Most notably on Christian Scott's albums. I caught wind of this album, noted the last name and assumed it was by Elena - I figured, "Pinderhughes? There's only one currently in the Jazz sphere, right? Must be the same person." So, it was on my radar ... then finally ordered on impulse last week.
Then, as I'm setting up a rare trip for for me (to Brooklyn where I've never been before) I'm looking up shows in the area that I can enjoy. I see the name Pinderhughes again, but it's not quite in the timeframe I need. Then I realize the show I was investigating was taking place this past weekend. And I caught this write-up of an earlier show/exhibit in San Francisco in 2022 when the album was released.

And I realized I might have landed onto something even better than I originally mis-thought. And I think I did.
Nice album. Enough vocals to get a Soul genre listing by many places/reviewers, but the list of associated musicians are all mostly Jazz musicians. Can't wait to give it a real undivided-attention listening.

Samora Pinderhughes Explored Incarceration in Song. The Result Is ‘Grief.’ (Published 2022)
The vocalist, pianist and composer interviewed roughly 100 people of color who had experienced “structural violence” and created the Healing Project, a three-part interdisciplinary work.
Q&A: Samora Pinderhughes On Grief, Jazz, Vulnerability, Changing The System And His Million Dollar Grant
This morning, February 10, it was announced musician/interdisciplinary artist Samora Pinderhughes received a million dollar grant for his "Healing Project." As Sage Bava and I found when we spoke to him, Pinderhughes is an artist that can change the world.

Surprised to discover AD was still releasing new work.
I think I kind of like this ... maybe a lot, but I need to listen to it a little more. To determine "like, like ok" or "like a lot".
