Ao Domingo Há Música

I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too

É esse cantar arrastado,  esmorecido , tumultuoso, melancólico  que faz do jazz um autêntico banquete de sons. Vozes que se perdem em lamentos ao Amor. Traído, partilhado, ardente, incerto, enlouquecido, incendiado, adormecido,  desenfreado, passional, inquieto, cego , sublime,  eis o Amor  do Jazz. 

Quatro registos de grandes vozes, em tempos diferentes,  ficam como desafio para um Domingo mais musical.

Billie Holiday , a  inolvidável Lady Day, desaparecida precocemente em 1959, em " I'm a fool to want you".

I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss the Devil has known

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I'll have to say

"I'm a fool to want you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along
Without you"

I can't get along
Without you

A incomparável e malograda Amy Winehouse, em " I love you more than you'll ever know"

A grande Nina Simone  na clássica canção You Don't Know What Love Is (1942) , com letra de  Don Raye e música  de Gene De Paul.

E uma notável voz da actualidade: Gregory Porter em " I fall in love too easily".
