Repassez-moi l'standard... "Chelsea Bridge" composé par le pianiste Billy Strayhorn (1941)
"Billy Strayhorn compose ce thème en 1941, en référence à l’atmosphère brumeuse et mélancolique du Chelsea Bridge, célèbre pont qui surplombe la tamise à Londres. On dit volontiers que Ravel et Debussy ont influencé la composition de ce morceau à la tonalité impressionniste." Laurent Valero
"Chelsea Bridge, une des première grandes compostions deBilly Strayhorn,pianiste compositeur et arrangeur, recruté parDuke Ellingtonen 1939 et qui restera à ses côtés jusqu’à sa mort en 1967." Laurent Valero
1964, Ben Webster, sax. Stan Tracey, piano. Ricky Laird, basse & Jackie Doogan, batterie...

I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do, what to do, what to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue...
...But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
A foggy day, in London town
Had me low, had me down
I viewed the morning with much alarm
British museum had lost it's charm...

...How long I wondered
Could this thing last
But the age of miracles hadn't past
For, suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town
The sun was shining everywhere
For, suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town
The sun was shining everywhere
Everywhere Everywhere Everywhere.
