Déjate Llevar-Juan Magan, Belinda, Manuel Turizo. Pásame la Botella-Mach & Daddy. Cómo Te Atreves-Morat. They’re old but they’re so evocative of summer for me.
1958 Newport Jazz Festival. Beautifully documented by fashion photographer Bert Stern. Ft. all of the jazz legends, crowds, outfits … and most importantly, Anita O’Day’s iconic performance of Sweet Georgia Brown and Tea for Two. After reading her autobiography I learned that she was high on heroin at the time. Her performance, specifically, is one of my comfort watches on YouTube.
Multiple reasons to visit NGA, but the free screenings are among the top for me. Thought provoking programming that is usually tied in some way to ongoing exhibitions. I don’t watch trailers so I love to go in there without any expectations. Shout out to the lush red velvet seating - so cozy.
