As I am listening to Dexter Gordon’s pulchritudinous rendition of “Manha de Carnaval” from TTBlue, I keep hearing the mash-up between his band and Ngoc Lan’s sultry vocals. Damn, I must be hallucinating or something.
Ngoc Lan Meets Dexter Gordon
They Made Me Proud
The proverb, I am sure every Vietnamese knows by heart, is: “Mot cay lam chang nen non, ba cay chum lai nen hon nui cao.” Stone Phillips’s “Postcard from New Orleans” reports how the Vietnamese-American of New Orleans pulled together to turn the worse natural disaster in the US history into a success story.
Big up to my people in New Orleans!

Thuy Nga’s Potential Talent
If this and this video were submitted to Thuy Nga Production, Sassy Hang Nguyen would be hired on the spot for the next taping of Paris By Night. She can take off her clothes and she can lip-sync flawlessly. (via Khong Co Ai)

Lush Love
If Giant Steps is too fast for you to follow and A Love Supreme is too much for you to take, Lush Life maybe the right Coltrane’s album for you. Beside a virtuoso, Trane was also a balladeer. He could play standards exceptionally well. The melodic lines on “Like Someone In Love” are so damn gorgeous that Trane performed as if he was truly in love, and he could pull it off even without the support of the piano’s harmony since Red Garland didn’t show up for the recording. If I were allowed but one Coltrane to share with my lady, Lush Life would be it. “I Love You” could sound like a banal romantic ballad, but not in a Latin vibe.
