yho3 - ... and then again

The front cover of the third edition of YHO had a still from the 1964 Jean Aurel film De L’Amour, and opened with a lovely John Buchan quote: “For those who worked in the shadows must know more than those in the daylight”.

There was very much a focus in this issue on people who were intent on putting together something more than simply a set of songs, people who liked working with ideas and themes, including:

Ø  Janelle Monáe and her Metropolis – The Chase Suite

Ø  The new wave of French conceptualists – Marc Collin, Olivier Libaux, Philippe Katerine

Ø  Nancy Harrow – from Atlantic jazz to conceptual interpretations of Willa Cather via Damon & Naomi

Ø  Gary McFarland – America The Beautiful and so on ...

Ø  Watertown – Frank Sinatra, Jake Holmes, Bob Gaudio and romance

The contents of this edition of YHO also included:

Ø  Johnny Hartman

Ø  Mark Perry

Ø  Slumber Party and Aliccia Berg Bollig

Ø  Tamba Trio

Ø  Phil Ochs

Ø  Cup of Tea – Bristol blues and roots

Ø  Muhsinah and Brittany Bosco – future soul sounds
