Beautiful Here in Vancouver, we ventured into a funky old building called the Ironworks down in Gastown tonight for jazz. The neighborhood was cloaked in heavy fog, making it feel like an old movie set. The buildings are very old and there is construction going on. There are homeless people living in this part of town and many shelters and services for them, and then there is this jazz club. It literally is an old ironworks building. Great sound in there, and the musicians were daring and didn't play it safe musically at all. The singer was Jeanette Lindstrom from Sweden, a jazz songstress and composer with a gorgeous clear voice and a variety of styles. She loves to scat sing, but she also did a Swedish hymn for us. Almost all of her songs were originals. Her lyrics are unusual, perhaps because English is not her language but she was singing them to us in English. She will write a whole song around a line: "My hands know how you feel"..."The world goes with me as I go"...phrases which we would not really say in English. Interesting. Her only cover song was a song by Horace Silver called "Peace." I can still hear it in my mind's ear. What did you do tonight? Was it foggy where you are?
