Video Friday (Eydie Gormet-"What Did I Have")

  • Apr. 25th, 2008 at 12:56 AM


There's something tremendous about Eydie Gormet's voice. It's a freight train. There's no question it's coming at you. But it's not just the power of it, although that's enough for me, Gormet has a clarity and a fluidness in her instrument. And she understands what she's singing. Her entire Shape changes as the song builds. Even the last grand Gesture she makes is completely believable because of what's come before it.

I've always loved this trumpet sound of hers. And for me, it can call me out of a dead sleep. This is an amazing performance.

I still like to hear "Blame It On the Bossa Nova" sometimes...
