Second-hand Songs

"What a difference a day makes, 24 little hours ... "

 

 Jamie Cullum's celebrated take on a song that's 90 years old this year.

Originally a Mexican tune, an English lyric gave birth to Dinah Washington's 1959 hit.

The outdoor setting is Blenheim Palace, the Churchill family estate in Oxfordshire, England.

Clip: Jamie Cullum - What A Difference A Day Makes - Live At Blenheim Palace 

Song:  Maria Grever, Stanley Adams  ( 1934 )

A modestly good talent is Cullem.

Here's a link from almost 30 years back to an under-known Canadian guy also doing an old song, Joe Coughlin. Jimmy Dale (film producer Jeremy's dad) at the piano and leading the band. In the trumpets are Guido Basso and one of the best-ever lead trumpeters, Arnie Chycoski. The sax solo is by Phil Dwyer, you'll see Brian Barlow (Emilie-Claire's dad) on percussion.
Search out a few of these, Dunf. Obviously Cullem doesn't need more acknowledgement.
