L’auteur et compositeur Canadien Marc Jordan chante Coltrane en nous proposant un texte et une voix empreinte d’émotion et de vécu sur Coltrane Plays The Blues, un premier single de l’album Waiting For The Sun to Rise qui sera lancé le 21 avril 2023.
Marc Jordan est connu pour ses textes qu’il a écrit pour Rod Stewart, Manhattan Transfer, Natalie Cole, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Cocker, Diana Ross, Cher, Chicago, Bette Midler, et plusieurs autres.
Sur Waiting for the Sun to Rise l’auteur et parolier est dans un mode introspectif et témoigne d’une sagesse acquise au fil des années. Rio Grande – la pièce centrale de l’album – est un hymne à ce qu’il reste de notre monde sur un arrangement du producteur Lou Pomani bonifié d’un solo planant du trompettiste Randy Brecker. Voici qu’il nous propose un très beau texte sur le single de la pièce Coltrane Plays the Blues.
Coltrane Plays the Blues
One look and this street is rocking baby
Cool jam, black earth at my feet
Save yourself if you can find it, I don’t mind
Lie to me but don’t leave me here behind
Drove my car right out to Cherry Lane
Thought I saw Joe Louis standing in the rain
He was stuffing the morning paper down in the hole inside his shoes
And we danced all night while Coltrane played the blues
Your face is so fine like Nina on the waves
So soft, so sweet that I fall down on my knees
This old heart keeps calling out your name
Fifteen minutes of glamor and fame
Drove my car right out to Cherry Lane
Thought I saw Joe Louis standing in the rain
He was stuffing the morning paper down in the hole inside his shoes
And we danced all night while Coltrane played the blues
Played the blues
Some think it’s a miracle and some have faith
Some come in limousines and some come in drag
It’s the last train to Babylon, still up for grabs
Last train baby, oh yeah
Drove my car right out to Cherry Lane
Thought I saw Joe Louis standing in the rain
He was stuffing the morning paper down in the hole inside his shoes
And we danced all night while Coltrane played the blues
While Coltrane played the blues
Some think it’s a miracle, yeah
Some people have faith.
« Marc Jordan est synonyme d’une qualité sans compromis. Il a cette façon de faire ce qui ne saute pas aux yeux, et c’est ce qui en fait un grand compositeur : dire les choses ou les jouer comme nul autre. » David Foster
