The Story:

This is a live performance I did at Blues Alley July 2011, which is part of the Jazz Vocal Workshop taught by Chris Grasso.  This a great workshop if you want to gain some experience performing with jazz musicians.  This was the second time I participated in the workshop.  Prior to entering the workshop for the second time I started working with the vocal coach Anne Hurley-Cole.  I think the vocal lessons made a tremendous difference in my vocal delivery and confidence compared to my first jazz performance.  This song really reached out to me and I am considering creating my own musical and vocal interpretation of Summer Samba.



Summer Samba (So Nice)
Someone to hold me tight
That would be very nice
Someone to love me right
That would be very nice
Someone to understand
Each little dream in me
Someone to take my hand
And be a team with me

So nice, life would be so nice
If one day I'd find
Someone who would take my hand
And samba through life with me

Someone to cling to me
Stay with me right or wrong
Someone to sing to me
Some little samba song
Someone to take my heart
And give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to
Give love a start with me

Oh yeah, that would be so nice
Should it be you and me, I could see it would be nice
