NOTES FROM MrBB/SCC/THOSE "NEW" SONGS
Hi All,
We're excited about launching Jewel's North American This Way Tour this
weekend and are looking forward to you joining us for the Soul City Cafe
ArtBeat series. If you've yet to check out the new www.soulcitycafe.com
web site, we highly recommend that you do.
Be sure to explore the whole site to get a good idea of where Soul City
Cafe is heading. And if you like what you see, consider applying to be on
the SCC 'sider teams, to help build this community from the inside out!
The artists featured at the eight Soul City Cafe ArtBeat venues on
Jewel's tour span genres, from solo acoustic to folk pop to hard rock to
slam poets and spoken word artists. You can find complete up-to-date
scheduling information at the new SCC site.
Now, onto the musically educational portion of my notes today. Quite a
few of you have written us asking about those two "new jazz-flavored
songs" Jewel has been performing during some of her encores lately. The
songs are titled "The Other Woman" and "Love Me Or Leave Me"
(not to be
confused with Jewel's own "Love Me, Just Leave Me Alone").
Jewel became enamored by these two songs after hearing the Nina Simone
versions, which were recorded for her 1966 Phillips LP "Let It All
Out."
Although her versions can arguably be considered the definitive versions
and she is indeed a songwriter, in addition to being a gifted pianist and
incredibly soulful singer, Nina Simone did not write these two songs. "The
Other Woman" was written by Jesse Mae Robinson, and "Love Me Or Leave
Me"
was written by the team of Walter Donaldson and Gus Kahn for the 1928
stage musical "Whoopie."
The album originally featuring these two songs is long out of print, but
if you would enjoy hearing these Nina Simone recordings, both tracks can
be found on several "best of" compilations.
Jewel's versions are quite remarkable and I suspect she'll keep them
around for awhile.
That's about it for today. Stop by www.soulcity.com for a visit and don't
forget to arrive at these special shows early and join in the fun!
MrBB
