'The power of words & the human voice, to evoke emotionwhich helps us take in our own subjective musical experience.'A current day philosopher: (ME!!....chuckle, chuckle )said thisin trying to rationalize the mellifluous, & pleasing vocalese ofone Celine Berman, jazz vocalist extraordinaire. The all true frequent uncritical acceptance of a descriptive rendering of a song's lyric, tends to blind listeners to the true nature of a song.Celine's treatment of her covers 'opens one's eyes' as it wereto the infinite variety of emotional timbre that nature imposesinto the human voice. Celine conveys the actual meaning of her music & song by words alone. Isn't this the way it's supposed to be?
