Q. I work at a country club. As many may know, most golfers (especially in Florida) are rather..."experienced" in their years (aka: old). I have the chance to play my violin for them and was wondering what kind of music would be good to play. Most of them listen to pretty much 90's music, from what I've gathered putting their golf bags into their cars. Any ideas would be much appreciated! :)
Thank you in advance.
A. Do you have an accompanimental instrument, like a piano or a guitar? If not, there isn't much music that was written to have accompaniment that sounds good without it. If you're an advanced player, play some unaccompanied Bach; if you're intermediate, there are some unaccompanied fantasias by Telemann that are nice (try #10--p. 44 of this pdf: http://216.129.110.22/files/imglnks/usimg/0/05/IMSLP32136-PMLP65991-Telemann_-_12_Fantasias_for_Violin_Solo.pdf ).
If you have accompaniment, in my experience, what a lot of seniors enjoy most is jazz "standards." Get hold of a lot of CDs of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, etc. and a "fake book" that has the melodies to the most popular songs along with chords for the other instrument. Learn a few Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and George Gershwin numbers like "Fly Me to the Moon" or "Night and Day." Then, once you play, keep track of what people come up to you and request most.
I need any jazz songs that have to do with rain, storms, rainbows, weather etc.?
Q. I am a female vocalist and I need any jazz songs that have to do with that theme for a performance. I already know about "Stormy Weather" and "On the Sunny Side of the Street". Thank you very much :)
A. When Sunny Gets Blue (this a ballad about a girl, nicknamed Sunny, whose now depressed. so they relate her to the weather. it starts off something like: "When Sunny gets blue, her eyes become gray and cloudly, then the rain starts to fall. Pitter patter..."
Summertime I like the Ella version A LOT!
Sunny by Bobby Hebb. this song was in my Aebersold collection of backing tracks, but i think it maybe loke an old soulful pop. idk the words, only the melody, sorry
Over the Rainbow is a song that many many jazz artists have covered
A Foggy Day i'll write again if I remember anything, I'm kinda drawing a blank. you should look up a vocal real book pdf on somewhere like 4shared.com. its a book of jazz standards with the words, melody, and chord changes (if you played guitar or piano)
