HAPPY EASTER P.O.U. FAM!
Enjoy these Easter themed jazz selections as you enjoy your Sunday breakfast/brunch:
“I’m Putting All My Eggs in One Basket” – Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong
Two of the most recognized voices in jazz history team up for this Irving Berlin tune. “I’m Putting All My Eggs in One Basket” was originally introduced by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the 1936 musical comedy film Follow the Fleet. It sounds decidedly different in the hands of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong — much more jazz than Broadway.
“Bunny” – Gerry Mulligan & Johnny Hodges
This 1959 album marked the only time Gerry Mulligan and Johnny Hodges recorded together in the studio; “Bunny” was penned by Mulligan with Hodges in mind. The title refers to one of Hodges’ nicknames, “Rabbit.” The two saxophonists blend together perfectly in this laid-back tune.
