dalia12

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.

originally downloaded with the comment “a word before the actual details of these two cd’s: dalia pinkus was an israeli jazz singer who died last month (july 30) of cancer, she was almost 45. a friend suggested the idea of sharing her cd’s online, she would have love that.., and her husband agreed…” i contacted jerry pinkus, her husband, who kindly gave permission for these files to be further shared.
