    A warm greeting to the entire #Music community. I have the pleasure of performing on my trumpet «Tea For Two», a jazz standard composed by Vincent Youmans in 1925, with lyrics by Irving Caesar. The original key of C Major, in my case, I play it in Bb major. The harmony is based on a diatonic chord progression with a cheerful and optimistic character. I love the melody, it has short, repetitive phrases with occasional chromatic leaps. The rhythm is moderate and constant, I really like the swing pattern characteristic of jazz. The use of syncopations and accents in the rhythm is charming. The lyrics mix romanticism and complicity and invite us to reflect on the importance of human connections and the beauty of sharing simple moments with the people we love. My favorite versions are those by Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald. Without a doubt, it is a wonderful piece of music and I hope you enjoy my version.

    Un cordial saludo a toda la comunidad de #Music. Tengo el agrado de interpretar con mi trompeta «Tea For Two», un estándar del jazz compuesto por Vincent Youmans en 1925, con letra de Irving Caesar. La tonalidad original de C Mayor, en mi caso, la interpreto en Bb mayor. La armonía se basa en una progresión de acordes diatónicos con un carácter alegre y optimista. Me encanta la melodía, tiene frases cortas y repetitivas con ocasionales saltos cromáticos. El ritmo es moderado y constante, me gusta mucho el patrón de swing característico del jazz. El uso de síncopas y acentos en el ritmo es encantador. La letra es una mezcla de romanticismo y complicidad e invita a reflexionar sobre la importancia de las conexiones humanas y la belleza de compartir momentos simples con las personas que amamos. Mis versiones favoritas son las de Nat King Cole, y Ella Fitzgerald. Sin duda, es una pieza musical maravillosa y espero que disfruten de mi versión.

    When I was a child, I would lie in my room, eyes closed, immersed in the warm, enveloping sounds of Louis Armstrong's trumpet, the explosive energy of Dizzy Gillespie, or the emotional depth of Miles Davis. And then, switching cassettes, I would let myself be carried away by the sensual melodies of John Coltrane's saxophone and the velvety voice of Nina Simone. What a privilege to have had access to such musical wealth from such a young age! There was a store near the music school that was a true paradise. There I could explore such a wide repertoire, both rock and jazz. Those visits to the store became small rituals, in which I discovered new bands, and new albums and was able to expand my musical universe. Recently I searched through several boxes and found many records connected with pleasant memories.

    Cuando era un niño, me encontraba acostado en mi habitación, con los ojos cerrados, sumergido en los sonidos cálidos y envolventes de la trompeta de Louis Armstrong, la energía explosiva de Dizzy Gillespie o la profundidad emocional de Miles Davis. Y luego, cambiando de casete, me dejaba llevar por las melodías sensuales del saxofón de John Coltrane y la voz aterciopelada de Nina Simone. ¡Qué privilegio haber tenido acceso a esa riqueza musical desde tan joven! Había una tienda cerca de la escuela de música que era un verdadero paraíso. Allí podía explorar un repertorio tan amplio, tanto de rock como de jazz. Esas visitas a la tienda se convirtieron en pequeños rituales, en los cuales descubrí nuevas bandas, nuevos álbumes y pude ampliar mi universo musical. Hace poco busqué entre varias cajas y encontré muchos discos y me conecté con gratos recuerdos.

    Tea For Two

    I'm discontented
    With homes that are rented
    So I have invented
    My own
    Darling this place is
    A lover's oasis
    Where life's weary chase is
    Unknown

    Far from the cry of the city
    Where flowers pretty
    Caress the stream

    Cozy to hide in
    To live side by side in
    Don't let it abide in
    My dream

    Picture you
    Upon my knee
    Just tea for two
    And two for tea
    Just me for you
    And you for me
    Alone

    Nobody near us
    To see us or hear us
    No friends or relations
    On weekend vacations
    We won't have it known, dear
    That we own a telephone, dear

    Day will break
    And you'll awake
    And start to bake
    A sugar cake
    For me to take
    For all the boys to see

    We will raise a family
    A boy for you, a girl for me
    Can't you see how happy we will be
