Feelings & Down in My Own Tears – The Monty Alexander Trio

Feelings

Song by Morris Albert

Feelings
Nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my feelings of love

Teardrops
Rolling down on my face
Trying to forget my feelings of love

Feelings
For all my life I’ll feel it
I wish I’ve never met you, girl
You’ll never come again

Feelings
Wo-o-o feelings
Wo-o-o feelings
Again in my arms

Feelings,
Feelings like I’ve never lost you
And feelings like I’ve never have you
Again in my heart

Feelings
For all my life I’ll feel it
I wish I’ve never met you, girl
You’ll never come again

Feelings
Feelings like I’ve never lost you
And feelings like I’ve never have you
Again in my life

Feelings
Wo-o-o feelings
Wo-o-o, feelings
Again in my arms

Feelings
Wo-o-o feelings
Wo-o-o, feelings
Wo-o-o, yeah

Drown in My Own Tears · The Monty Alexander Trio Montreux Alexander – The Monty Alexander Trio Live at the Montreux Festival (96 Khz) ℗ Edel Germany GmbH

Pianist Monty Alexander did some of his finest recordings for the German MPS label with this one maybe being his best. This live trio set recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in June 1976 with bassist John Clayton and drummer Jeff Hamilton, features Alexander playing his usual repertoire of the period with blues, standards ( “Satin Doll,” “Work Song” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic” ) and even a version of schmaltzy “Feelings”, so in vogue at the time, that uplifts the song quite a bit. The trio’s soulful approach and extended improvisations to the generally familiar melodies make them sound fresh and swinging like mad. Bill Evans at the Village Vanguard it might not be, but it sure is one of the swinginest live piano trio recordings in all of jazz for my money, if the enthusiastic audience response is any measure.
