[ Drum intro playing ] [ Applause ] [ Applause ] [ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you.

Merci beaucoup.

[ "Give Me the Simple Life" plays ] I don't believe in frettin' or grievin' Why mess around with strife?

I never was cut out to step and strut out Give me the simple life Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant Those things roll off my knife Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes Give me the simple life A cottage small is all I'm after Not one that's spacious and wide A home that's full of joy and laughter And the ones you love inside Some like the high road, I'll take the low road Free from the grief and strife Sounds corny and seedy, but, yes, indeedy Give me the simple life Da da-day day-day I never was cut out to step and strut out Give me the simple life Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes Give me the simple life A cottage small is all I'm after Not one that's spacious and wide A home that's full of joy and laughter The ones you love inside Some like the high road, I'll take the low road Free from the grief and strife Sounds corny and seedy But, yes, indeedy Give me [ Scatting ] [ Scatting ] The simple life [ Cheers and applause ] Thank you.

We hope you'll enjoy our little part of the session.

We have some new songs and some old ones, and some we don't even know.

[ "This Girl's in Love With You" plays ] You see this girl This girl's in love with you Yes, I'm in love Who looks at you the way I do When you smile I can tell We know each other very well How can I show you I'm glad I got to know you 'Cause I've heard some talk They say you think I'm fine Yes, I'm in love And what I'd do to make you mine Tell me now is it so Don't let me be the last to know My hands are shakin' Don't let my heart keep breaking 'Cause I need your love I want your love Say you're in love In love with me, guy If not I'll just die I'll just die I'm gonna set myself right down And write myself a letter And make believe it came From you I'm gonna write words oh, so sweet They're gonna knock me off my feet A lot of kisses On the bottom I'll be glad I got 'em 'Cause I've heard some talk They say you think I'm fine Yes, I'm in love And what I'd do to make you mine Tell me now is it so Don't let me be the last to know My hands are shakin' Don't let my heart keep breaking 'Cause What my world needs now Is your sweet love, guy If not I'll just die Yes I'll just die If not I'll just die [ Cheers and applause ] Thank you.

[ "I Won't Dance" plays ] I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, mister, with you My heart won't let my feet do things they should do You know what, you're handsome And so what?

You're handsome But oh, what you do to me I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor When you dance you're charming and you're gentle Especially when you do the continental But this feeling isn't purely mental For heaven rest us!

I'm not asbestos And that's why I won't dance Why should I?

I won't dance How could I?

I won't dance, merci beaucoup I know that music leads the way to romance So if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance When you dance you're charming and you're gentle Especially when you do the continental But this feeling isn't purely mental For heaven rest us!

I'm not asbestos And that's why I won't dance Why should I?

Thank you so much.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you.

From a new picture, we'd like to sing the title song.

One we had the pleasure of recording from the picture with Marcello Mastroianni and Miss Faye Dunaway.

Come and walk with me I know a place that your eyes must see In hidden hills in trees of lace Where love is every place around There, where violets bloom We'll climb a stair to a quiet room No-one will see, no-one will know And there I'll love you so The sun will set And rise and set With you in this place for lovers What more would I ever need?

So come And take my hand I'll lead you there to this secret land Across the fields, beyond the quay It's just one step away And there with you I'll share with you My dreams [ Cheers and applause ] Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you.

That old black magics got me in its spell, yeah That old black magic that you weave so well Those icy fingers up and down my spine The same old tingle when your eyes meet mine The same old tingle that I feel inside And when that elevator starts its ride Darling down and down and down I go Round and round and round I go In the spin, ah I should stay away, but what can I do?

I hear your name and I'm aflame Aflame with such a burning desire That only your kiss can put out the fire You're the lover I have waited for The mate that fate had me created for And every time your lips meet mine Darling, down and down and down I go Round and round and round I go In the spin, I'm loving the spin I'm in I'm under that old black magic called love I should stay away, but what can I do?

I hear your name and I'm aflame Aflame with such a burning desire That only your kiss can put out the fire You're the lover, you're the lover, you're the lover You're the lover, you're the lover I have waited for The mate that fate had me created for And every time your lips meet mine Darling, down and down and down I go Round and round and round I go In the spin, loving the spin I'm in I'm under that o-o-o-old magic called love In a spin, loving the spin I'm in I'm under that old black magic called love In a spin, I'm loving the spin I'm in I'm under that o-o-old black magic called love Got me spinning, spinning, spinning around Like an elevator going down When this this magic Black magic [ Scatting ] [ Cheers and applause ] Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

[ Laughs ] Whoa!

[ Laughs ] Only that joke is on us.

We like to change the pace of something pretty and soft.

And we hope you like this.

We'll wake you back up, but right now we want to do a bossa nova.

And it's called "Useless Landscape," written by Jobim.

Jobim.

Pressure.

[ Laughter ] Look at the moon and look at the sea Don't it look lonesome, lonesome like me Without you It's nothing There's no use Of a moonlight glow Or the peaks where winter snows What's the use of the waves that will break In the cool of the evening What is the evening Without you?

It's nothing It may be You will never come If you never come to me What's the use of my wonderful dreams And why would they need me?

Where would they lead me Without you?

To nowhere [ Scatting ] [ Scatting continues ] [ Scatting continues ] Tommy Flanagan, ladies and gentlemen.

[ Applause ] [ Piano riff plays ] Play pretty for the people, Tommy.

Ah heh!

Huh!

What's the use of the waves that will break In the cool of the evening What is the evening Without you?

It's nothing Paisagem [ Scatting ] [ Scatting softly ] Without you it's nothing Without you it's nothing Absolutely nothing [ Scatting ] Without you [ Cheers and applause ] Thank you.

Tommy Flanagan.

[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you so much.

For the Duke Ellington fans.

[ "Love You Madly" plays ] Love you madly, right or wrong Sounds like a lyric to a song But since it's so, I thought you ought to know I love you, love you madly "Better fish are in the sea" Is not the theory for me And that's for sure, just like I said before I love you, love you madly If you could see the happy you and me I dream about so proudly You'd know the breath of spring that makes me sing My love song so loudly Good things come to those who wait So just relax and wait for fate To hear the day I'll hear you say to me "I love you, love you madly" This is the way we think they might sing it nowadays with the modern sounds.

[ Upbeat jazz plays ] Yeeeeeah Baby I love you madly, right or wrong Sounds like a lyric to a song And since it's so, I thought you ought to know I love you, love you madly "Better fish are in the sea" Is not the theory for me And that's for sure, just like I said before I love you I love you madly If you could see the happy you and me I dream about so proudly You'd know the breath of spring that makes me sing My love song so loudly Good things come to those who wait So just relax and wait for fate To hear the day I'll hear you say to me "I love you, love you madly" Good things come to those who wait So just relax and wait for fate To hear the day I'll hear you say to me "I love you, love you madly" [ Applause ] Thank you.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you so much.

We'd like to attempt to sing another balad.

And it's called... Well, you'll hear it.

But it's about a man, and it seems that whenever I sing this, the women applaud first.

A woman gets all the blame For everything that happens under the sun But when it comes to being bad A woman's not the only one Trouble is a man A man who loves me no more No more Trouble is a man A man I'll always adore Nothing good to say about him Still, I'd hate a day without him Why should he have to be My one, my only?

Trouble is a man A man who's handsome and tall So tall Trouble is a man Who's just for himself That's all After all the things we plan He didn't mean it Now I understand I should have seen it Trouble is a man Trouble is a man I love Who shall I run to?

How shall I sing?

How can I wish on a star, how Knowing the way that you are After all the things we plan, he didn't mean it Now I understand I should have seen it Trouble is a man Trouble is a man I love Trouble Trouble Trouble is a Man [ Applause ] Thank you.

Thank you very much Thank you so much.

Thank you.

A man And a woman A woman and a man A woman and a man Yah-ah-ah [ Scatting ] [ Scatting continues ] [ Scatting continues ] [ Scatting continues ] [ Scatting continues ] A woman, a woman and man And a man and a woman And a woman and a man And a woman and a man and a woman And a man woman and a man Whooo [ Scatting ] Woman woman man man Woman [ Applause ] Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you so much.

I have listened to so much beautiful jazz, and we thought that maybe some of the things we did were a little different.

But they were a little jazzy.

Anyway -- [ Laughs ] So we'd like to just do a little impromptu thing.

And thought maybe this would fit in a little with the theme.

Okay?

You know.

[ Scats ] Or would you rather do the blues?

Wanna do the blues?

Huh?

Oh, you don't know the blues?

Okay.

[ Laughs ] Alright.

[ Scatting ] [ Scatting continues ] [ Scatting continues ] [ Scatting continues ] [ Scatting continues ] [ Scatting continues ] [ Piano plays ] [ Scatting continues ] [ Applause ] [ Scatting continues ] [ Cheers and applause ] That's all you get [ Scatting ] [ Scatting continues ] Pretty baby Snap.

Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ] [ Encore clapping ] [ Chanting "Ella" ] [ Cheers and applause ] Thank you so much, ladies and gents.

You've made me very happy tonight.

You know, this has been -- I watched it yesternight and it was so wonderful, and it's so late that I -- [ Laughter ] Would you like to hear something pretty or something fast-- something pretty?

-Yeah!

-Tommy?

Would you like to hear something like, uh, "House Is Not a Home"?

[ Cheers and applause ] The Tommy Flanagan trio.

We'd like to do -- May we do one of our favorites for you?

It's not a jazzy tune.

It's Sunday night, so you must be quiet, you've had enough jazz and we thought you'd like something soft.

We'd like to do a Burt Bacharach tune.

Or would you like to hear "Old Devil Moon," which would you like to hear?

[ Indistinct shouts from crowd ] [ Intro to "A House Is Not a Home" plays ] No?

Alright.

I just want to see if you were listening.

Wanna do "Devil" or this one?

A chair is still a chair Even though there's no-one sitting there A chair is not a house And a house is not a home When there's no-one there to hold you tight And no-one there you can kiss goodnight A room is still a room Even when there's nothing there but gloom A room is not a house And a house is not a home When the two of us are far apart And one of us has a broken heart Now and then I call your name And suddenly your face appears But it's just a crazy game When it ends It ends in tears Darling, have a heart Don't let one mistake keep us apart I'm not meant to live alone Turn this house into a home When I climb the stairs And turn the key Oh, please be there Still in love with me It's so nice to have a man Around the house It's so nice to have a man around the house I'm not meant to live alone Turn this house into a home When I climb the stairs And turn the key Oh, please be there Still in love with Me A house is not a home A home is not a house A house is not a home and a home is not a house Without a man Without a man [ Cheers and applause ]
