about

Cherokee by Deelee Dubé and the Juan Galiardo Trio

Cherokee (Indian Love Song) is a jazz standard that was written and composed in 1938 by the English Jazz bandleader, radio host, arranger, and composer Ray Noble (Raymond Stanley Moore, 17 December 1903 - 2 April 1978). It is the first of five movements in Noble's "Indian Suite" (Cherokee, Comanche War Dance, Iroquois, Seminole, and Sioux Sue) and remains to be one of his most notable compositions, particularly among jazz instrumentalists.
This interpretation of Cherokee was arranged by Spanish Jazz pianist Juan Galiardo, with lyrics (written by Noble) delivered and performed by Deelee Dube.

“An unusual treatment of the Ray Noble song “Cherokee”, delivered here as a jazz ballad, with Dube singing the now rarely heard lyrics. Galiardo’s lyrical piano solo complemented her sensual and soulful vocals, it was so good to hear him on a ‘proper’ grand piano, and the sensitive backing of bass and drums, with Gomez’s deft brushwork a notable feature. I’m so used to hearing “Cherokee” played at breakneck speed in the bebop idiom by Clifford Brown and others that it was a bit of an eye and ear opener to hear it performed like this.” – Ian Mann (The Jazz Mann, Jazzwise)

“Most jazz folks can tell you what this track means to jazz lovers, especially those who collect music by lady jazz singers. Deelee has come up with a smashing rendition and added her own pizazz. Her relaxed voice fused with beautifully woven sharped pitched notes amid her delivery are mellifluous.” — It Has To Be Jazz (Sunday Standard)

Available on all digital Platforms on 16/12/22 #loveballads

This performance was commissioned as part of the Brecon Jazz Festival in August 2020.
