Wandering through music history: a November ballade by ‘the French Joan Baez’ – also called the ‘the voice of the repressed’ – the Dutch-French chansonnier Anne Vanderlove. She once said about her life and career, ‘I have always remained the little girl who kept believing in Father Christmas.’
More French influences – even with Louis Armstrong, and with percussionist Art Blakey and trumpet player Lee Morgan with music from ‘Des femmes disparaissent’.
Also French influences with tenor saxophone player Eddie Lockjaw Davis, who taught himself to play with an instrument from the pawnshop. And French influences with the big band singer (and nurse) Maxine Sullivan, and the obscure Mavis Rivers, who had Samoan roots en who created a sophisticated record oeuvre in the US.
From the Dutch national radio history, the A.V.R.O. Decibels with singer Eddy Meenk, and the orchestra of Klaas van Beeck.
Blues by Kansas City Kitty & Georgia Tom, and by Sonny Terry with Brownie McGhee
Further: Paul Robeson, John Kirby, Chris Connor, Fien de la Mar, Juliette Gréco, Jacques Brel and from Mexico, ‘the Nightingale of the Americas’, Pedro Vargas.
