What a mood piece! Beautiful and enigmatic.
I will surely add more Mark Hollis to my music list.
Thank you, Marquis.

A song of sartorial inspiration. Vecchio frack (Old tailcoat).

Ha il cilindro per cappello
due diamanti per gemelli
un bastone di cristallo
la gardenia nell'occhiello
e sul candido gilet
un papillon,
un papillon di seta blu
s'avvicina lentamente
con incedere elegante
ha l'aspetto trasognato
malinconico ed assente
non si sa da dove vien
ne dove và
chi mai sarà
quel'uomo in frack.

The Beautiful Voice, Renee Fleming: Mariettas Lied. Her voice is absolutely stunning.
A very simple tune that meant a lot for a whole generation 40 or 50 years ago.
Il ragazzo de la via Gluck (The boy from Gluck street).

Perfect for dressing up, getting ready and in the right mood on a Friday evening.

Reinhardt-Grappelli. It doesn't get much better than this. The music, not the title. (Audio is good, video belongs to something else)

I was fortunate to see/hear Grappelli perform several times. Check out his rare recordings playing piano. Beautiful. There are a couple of younger Grappelli's including Florin Niculescu
and Tim Kliphuis. I've seen Niculescu peform twice. There are a handful of Django emulators worthy of attention: Fapy Lafertin, Romane, Tchavallo Schmidt, to name only a few.
Take a look at some of Django's suits on some of the photos and videos. His double breasted suit jackets do not look out of place now.
