Cleopatra Feelin' Jazzy is a jazz album recorded in 1963 by Paul Gonsalves.

Review by Stephen Cook

...Cleopatra -- Feelin' Jazzy finds the famed Ellington soloist in the prime company of hard boppers like pianist Hank Jones, organist Dick Hyman, guitarist Kenny Burrell, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Roy Haynes. The band shines throughout, with Hyman's organ adding exotic film theater ambience on the two North cuts that kick off the album.. Switching over to more straightforward fare, Gonsalves and company stretch out on Burrell's "Bluz for Liz" (read Elizabeth Taylor, one of the leads in the movie) and Ellington's "Action in Alexandria."..Gonsalves impresses with both complexly swinging solos and breathy ballad statements. A very fine effort by one of the unsung giants of jazz.

That's How I Love the Blues! is an album by American jazz vocalist Mark Murphy featuring tracks recorded in late 1962 for the Riverside label.

DownBeat awarded the album 4.5 stars. Don Nelsen, reviewing the album said, "What makes Murphy so impressive is his command of diction, dynamics, nuance, time, and phrasing...Cohn’s arrangements and the band he recruited to back Murphy are first rate".

MusicHound Jazz awarded the album 5 bones. Reviewer Andrew Gilbert calls the album "one of the widest ranging explorations of the blues ever put to record".[6] He singles out the "hip hard bop" of "Senor Blues", the Kansas City blues of "Goin' to Chicago Blues", and show tunes "Blues in the Night" calling the charts by Al Cohn "as witty and deep as Murphy's singing, making this one of the era's essential vocal albums". - Wikipedia

Cher, Nicolas Cage – “Moonstruck” (1987)

Ich begegne romantischen Komödien grundsätzlich mit Misstrauen – zu oft sind sie süßlich, affirmativ, geschlechterpolitisch ein Desaster. Dieser Film ist all das. Und dennoch liebe ich ihn in jedem Moment. Norman Jewisons New Yorker Operettenmärchen aus dem Jahr 1987 ist eine Ode an das Begehren im Alter, an die Lächerlichkeit des Herzens, an die Unlogik der Gefühle. Er ist altmodisch, glaubt an die große Geste, den Sturm und den Vollmond – und erlaubt seinen Figuren, komplett zu überziehen. Das ist einfach herrlich! (ARTE, OV)
