Rita Reys Like Someone in Love
- 17 years ago
Like someone in love, Reys Rita 1960
(Europe's First Lady of Jazz)
Can jazz get any better? Here is singer Rita Reys with the Pim Jacobs Trio. Pim on piano, his brother Ruud on bass and guitarist Wim Overgaauw. An unbelievable hair raising performance. The emotion that Rita creates in probably for her in a natural manner but makes her in my mind one of the very best ever.
Maybe it is because I'm older now, but in my early jazz playing years in the Netherlands I didn't pay much attention to her talent.
Now I want to see if I can buy any CD's of Rita from the sixties with Pim's stunning trio.
Rita, born in 1924, is still performing. On my next trip to Holland I like to make it a point to see her perform.
Long live Europe's First Lady of Jazz ( officially since 1960)
