Jazz Selections From the Mind of Noah Jones by Noah Jones

Ugliest Girl on the Beach (Viewer Discretion Advised)

26noahjones — 2024-02-01 16:12:19 UTC

Very profane, yet very, very funny. The Ugliest Girl on the Beach makes fun of every Bossa Nova ever written, as well as having a great scat solo. Viewer discretion is advised, though.

I Only Have Eyes For You

26noahjones — 2024-02-01 16:13:41 UTC

This is a really cool version of this song. Usually, it is sung slower, but Buble updated it to a really fun swing tune.

Just a Gigolo

26noahjones — 2024-02-01 16:14:01 UTC

This is one of my all time favorites, and the call and response part that Prima does with his band is really unique, and the tempo change to "I Ain't Got Nobody" is a fun touch.

Everybody Loves Somebody

26noahjones — 2024-02-01 16:14:58 UTC

This is a beautiful ballad. Dean Martin's rich voice compliments it perfectly, and it's cool how the second time around he plays with the tempo.

Mona Lisa

26noahjones — 2024-02-01 16:15:48 UTC

This is a beautiful love song, and Nat's version is without doubt the best. The sole guitar accompaniment is really cool, as it accomplishes so much even without a big orchestra or band.

Rags to Riches

26noahjones — 2024-02-01 16:17:31 UTC

This Tony Bennett piece is a real fun one, and the changes throughout with the style, from when the band comes booming into the forefront to when it recedes into the backround is really fun.

Ring-A-Ding-Ding

26noahjones — 2024-02-01 16:18:16 UTC

This lesser known Sinatra tune is one of my favorites of "Ol' Blue Eyes". It's a medium swing piece, and it's really cool how Sinatra changes some of the words and plays with the tempo in the second verse.

As Time Goes By

When You're Smiling

26noahjones — 2024-02-01 16:20:11 UTC

One of my favorite parts of this piece is the band and orchestra. It starts out with a fun "ba-bum" with the band, and when the lyrics get more somber, the orchestra comes in beautifully. The call and response that Buble has with the band is just another treat in this great song.

I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter

Just the Way You Look Tonight

On An Evening in Roma

26noahjones — 2024-02-01 16:22:31 UTC

Fancy Meeting You Here

26noahjones — 2024-02-01 16:23:22 UTC

This is a fantastic duet between the legendary Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney. It's impressive how they go back and forth, and the story the song tells is a real fun one.

Almost Like Being In Love

A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square

26noahjones — 2024-02-01 19:31:33 UTC

Buble likes to change traditional Jazz tunes, and this one is no exception. This song is almost always a very slow ballad, but Buble swings it as only he can.

Gangsta's Paradise

26noahjones — 2024-02-01 19:35:59 UTC

As many of you know, this song was originally not a Jazz piece, but the Postmodern Jukebox turned it into a really unique swing tune. It's really cool to listen to both the origional and this one, because they are so different.

Somethin' Stupid

26noahjones — 2024-02-05 20:01:34 UTC

Such A Night

26noahjones — 2024-02-05 20:02:34 UTC

Buble reamagined this rock n' roll Elvis tune as a swing piece, and boy, does it swing. The song itself is fantastic, but what really makes it special is Buble's commanding stage presence, not to mention the surprise dance number halfway through the piece.

Begin the Beguine

Ain't That a Kick in the Head

26noahjones — 2024-02-05 20:05:11 UTC

Mr. Sandman

26noahjones — 2024-02-22 19:36:38 UTC

Imagine Mr. Sandman, the popular be-bop tune, but jazzified. That's what the vocal group Flash Mob Jazz did to this classic. The way the create precussion with their voices and clapping is so creative, and they swing this piece by stretching certain notes is really unique. I feel like a good case could be made that this version is even better than the origional.

Celebrity

Charlie Parker's saxaphone solo is almost dizzying in its complexity- and yet this song still has a laid back feel, and Parker looks like he barely has to try to make the sounds he does. This piece feels a lot like scatting, because Parker takes a lot from scat solos, like running up and down the scales.

Cry Me A River

26noahjones — 2024-02-22 19:48:41 UTC

The legendary Ella Fitzgerald is at the top of her game in this bluesy tune. The way she warbles and trills certain notes is such a cool technique, and she makes lots of parts where she is singing words sounds like shes scatting. The tempo changes in this piece are also a really cool feature that contribute to this song's unique feel.

(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66

26noahjones — 2024-02-22 19:55:13 UTC

This is a fun blues swing tune from the effortlessly perfect voice of Nat "King" Cole. It's a real catchy tune, and I think its cool how each instrument is showcased with a solo.
