this posting is in memory of the late dalia pinkus, who left us this phenomenal (and aptly named) collection of “old but great jazzy songs”.
i don’t normally download rips of cd’s, but when researching a concert, i ran across the think too much jazz blog. needless to say, i browsed it out of curiosity — a lot of very tempting stuff, but that way lies madness.
however, one item did catch my eye, two cd’s by dalia pinkus, “old but great jazzy songs” vol. 1 & 2. And, there was a comment that her husband jerry pinkus had allowed the music to be shared. hadn’t heard of dalia pinkus but there are so many people whom i seem not to have heard of. i downloaded it.
wow! it’s great! if you like classic jazz songs (and you’d probably not be here if you didn’t, eh?), then give it a listen. she had a fantastic voice, and it’s a terrific selection of songs (and well suited to her voice, i think).
i emailed jerry pinkus, who again gave permission for the music to be shared.
so, in memory of dalia pinkus, here are a few links and a copy of her two cd’s for download.
