☆Lady in Satin Billie Holiday & Ray Ellis - For All We Know
(Columbia
(アップロード日: 2011/11/11)
【 "For All We Know" is a popular song published in 1934.
The music was written by J. Fred Coots and the lyrics
by Sam M. Lewis. The first charting versions in 1934
were by Hal Kemp. Lady in Satin is an album by jazz
singer Billie Holiday released in 1958 on Columbia
Records, catalogue CL 1157 in mono and CS 8048 in stereo.
It is the next to final album completed by the singer
and released in her lifetime (her final album, Billie
Holiday, being recorded in March 1959 and released just
after her death). The original album was produced by
Irving Townsend, and engineered by Fred Plaut. Unlike
the bulk of Holiday's recordings, rather than in the
setting of a jazz combo Holiday returns to the backdrop
of full orchestral arrangements as done during her Decca
years. The album consists of songs Holiday had never
recorded before. The arrangements were by bandleader
Ray Ellis. Soloists on the album included Mel Davis,
Urbie Green, and bebop trombone pioneer J.J. Johnson.
Billie's accompanied by Billy Butterfield, Mel Davis,
Bernie Glow (trumpet) Urbie Green (trombone) Gene Quill
(alto saxophone) Hank Jones (piano) Barry Galbraith
(guitar) Milt Hinton (bass) Osie Johnson (drums), Ray
Ellies (arranger, conductor) unidentified strings, harp,
vocal choir, and others. Recorded in New York City,
February 19, 1958. (Columbia Records)】

☆Shock Doctrine in Japan: Shinzo Abe's Rightward Shift to Militarism
(公開日: 2014/01/15)
《http://www.democracynow.org - Democracy Now! is
broadcasting from Tokyo, Japan, today in the first
of three special broadcasts. At a critical time for
Japan and the region, we begin our coverage looking
at the country's rightward political shift under
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was re-elected just
over a year ago. As head of the Liberal Democratic
Party, Abe is known as a conservative hawk who has
pushed nationalistic and pro-nuclear policies. In
December, he visited the controversial Yasukuni war
shrine, which honors Japanese soldiers who died in
battle, including several war criminals who were
tried by the International Military Tribunal after
World War II. The visit sparked outrage from China
and South Korea, who consider the shrine a symbol
of Japanese militarism, and its refusal to atone
for atrocities committed in the first half of the
20th century. We speak about Japan's increasingly
pro-nuclear, nationalistic stance with Koichi Nakano,
professor at Sophia University in Tokyo and director
of the Institute of Global Concern.
