This week we’ll explore the theme Rendezvous, thank you Bear. The dictionary defines as:
ren·dez·vous
noun \ˈrän-di-ˌvü, -dā-\
: a meeting with someone that is arranged for a particular time and place and that is often secret
: a place where people agree to meet at a particular time
: a place appointed for assembling or meeting
: Middle French, from rendez vous – present yourselves
For me, a rendezvous evokes memories of the past, romantic black & white classics like Casablanca, a warm summer breeze, dinner and sparkling conversation overlooking the bay. In a light and playful mood, I dropped by moms’ as she recollected a few tunes which felt right with this theme. After all, how can one go wrong with smooth jazz playing in the background, … sharing a delightful chat, Of this and that, And cocktails for two.♪
Rendezvous with memories of our first love, smoke invariably gets in your eyes…
As some of you may know Autumn is my favorite time of the year, secret rendezvous with friends and lovers alike.
Here’s to hope, dreams and moonlit walks… wherever life leads you.♥
Let us present ourselves with a gift… tenderly♪
Mr. Ray Charles had his date with destiny.☼
No tears for Ms. London, she’s simply divine
Let’s rendezvous ~ Around Midnight♪
This song epitomizes romantic liaisons: Nina Simone – I Put Spell On You ♥♥♥
People often rendezvous to get back together…
This just sounds like a gathering in the making:
No fear, as our souls rendezvous together for the last time, we are forever ONE. That’s How it Ends♪ LYRICS

This is a great collection, Maddie. I started learning jazz when I was a kid, and it is definitely among my favorite styles. There is so much freedom in improv. Great job with the theme! 🙂

Been listening to Devotchka off and on all evening. Thank you for using their clips. I’ve been having fun with them. I’m wondering if they share some of the same musicians with woven Hand, or Sixteen Horsepower, also from Denver? There are similar uses of crescendo, some of the vocal elements, and ‘squeeze box” style.??? Sounds a little like David Eugene Edwards.

Hi Bear, I enjoy their music as well. I don’t believe they’re session players, from Wiki: originally a backing band for burlesque shows, they evolved into a tight knit multi-instrumental quartet ensemble. Great band, Nick Urata does sound a bit like David, an interesting melodic drawl.

I hope they do. Jazz is so amazing. I wanted to play the sax in middle school. The band director told me hands were too small and handed me a flute. I handed it back. 😉
