The Kiss of Jazz!

1. Long Time!

I get together with some one from my old office after a long time. Doesn't like time, has passed by.

2. 'Touch'

I try out John Klemmer's Touch. It is smooooooth! He is a gifted saxophonist and Jazz composer. I plan to get more of his stuff.

3. Nat King




I get hold of his Tri Recordings Vol1. Wow!!
I am so so hooked on it. Got it on my player now, while writing this.


3. Besame Mucho

It means 'kiss me a lot'. It is a mexican song written in 1940 by Consuelo Velázquez before her sixteenth birthday. According to Velázquez, she wrote this song even though she had never been kissed yet at the time. It has since become an anthem sung by 100s of artists over decades. Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Nat King Cole (among the English versions). It was recently sung by Sanjaya Malakar in American Idol. Andrea Bocelli also has a famous version. I will post a few versions. Bocelli's version would be in Spanish.

Besame, besame mucho,
Each time I cling to your kiss, I hear music divine,
Besame mucho,
Hold me my darling and say that you'll always be mine.
This joy is something new, my arms enfolding you,
Never knew this thrill before.
Whoever thought I'll be holding you close to me,
Whispering it's you I adore.
Dearest one, if you should leave me,
Each little dream would take wing and my life would be through,
Besame mucho, love me forever and make all my dreams come true..
Besame, besame mucho,
Como si fuera esta noche la ultima vez.
Besame, besame mucho,
Que tengo miedo tenerte y perderte depues.
Quiero tenerte muy cerca mirarme en tus ojos estar junto de ti.
Pienso que tal vez ma¤ana estarte muy lejos  muy lejos de ti.
Besame, besame mucho,
Como si fuera esta noche la ultima vez.
Besame, besame mucho,
Que tengo miedo tenerte y perderte despues.
