Beautiful beyond description!
Take five minutes to enjoy Duke Ellington’s superb composition, beautifully performed by two professionals; elegant Kathleen Battle, and talented Branford Marsalis.
Come Sunday! – Kathleen Battle and Branford Marsalis
I think it’s strange that just listening to performances like this releases the emotions I have inside that I just can’t express with my limited abilities.
Why is that?
The more I listen to this performance, the more I can imagine myself right there… invisible…. singing along with confidence…. hitting the high notes… improvising and landing on just the right note to harmonize with the voice. How about you?
It never gets old.
It soothes that part of me that longs to be heard. When I get to heaven, I will be able to be able to sing like Kathleen Battle and play like Branford Marsalis!
Before you move on…. close your eyes and listen to it one more time.
