The latter celebrates her 83rd birthday in October. “She's just a fountain of youth," says Drozdziel, “and you know, in her career, she's played with Nina Simone, ...

Why put on the first-ever Polish Jazz Festival in London, and why now? After all, London is already well supplied with fine British-Polish jazzers like the guitarist Artie Zaitz and saxophonist Emma Rawicz. Not only that, but the West London venue Jazz Cafe Posk—based in the Polish cultural centre—has been running jazz gigs for years. But maybe it doesn't matter why: anything that brings pianist Marcin Wasilewski and his trio to this town is to be welcomed with ...

Julie London's Holiday Album (2024)
Source:
JazzWax by Marc Myers
It's Christmas Day and once again it's time for the Julie London Christmas album that never was. I started this tradition 10 years ago because, for whatever reason, the jazz vocalist never recorded an LP of holiday favorites. All we have is the B-side of a Liberty 45 released in 1957—I'd Like You for Christmas, written by her soon-to-be husband, Bobby Troup. Why she'd release a single side but not a full-blown LP remains puzzling, to say the least. [Publicity ...

Julie London Turns Winter to Summer

JazzWax by Marc Myers
JazzWax readers know I traditionally feature Julie London on Christmas Day, but today I wanted to take a beat to let you know what a great singer she is any time of year. To me, London is a consummate jazz singer—from her tone to her phrasing. Like Anita O'Day, London had an understated hipness built into her delivery along with a dry airiness that all but eliminated any trace of vibrato. I also love that she never quite fit in, ...

Julie London's Holiday Album, 2022

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Once again, it's time for Julie London's Christmas album that never was. I started this tradition eight years ago because, for whatever reason, the singer never recorded an album of holiday favorites, just one side of a Liberty 45 in 1957. Why she'd release a single side but not a full-blown LP remains puzzling, to say the least. So in 2014, I assembled all of her seasonal tracks for a faux streaming release of my own. As JazzWax readers know, ...
