Silje Nergaard with Pat Metheny - Tell Me Where You're Going (Rio Version)

I met her through a very jazzy version of "This Is Not America" featured in an anthology series of records called "Ladies in Jazz," which I highly recommend to those who love women even if they don’t understand them; just as one doesn’t understand Jazz.

I wanted to share that piece - which perhaps someone has already heard, and in any case, it’s easily found on YouTube - but instead, I came across this that I didn't know about. The video quality is terrible and the sound is even worse, but oh well...

Ah, listen to her records: she’s amazing!

Betty Davis - They Say I'm Different (Full Album) HQ

In the early '70s, Betty Mabry was a unique figure in the landscape of "black music." She was not just a singer; she was also a songwriter, arranger, and producer, choosing, planning, and deciding everything independently and doing so in an extremely innovative way.

This is her most important album, a work that reshuffles the cards on the table, blending the lessons of Jimi Hendrix & Sly Stone.

She revolutionized funk just as Captain Beefheart did with blues.

Comparisons can only be made with men since, in that historical period, women were often relegated to the roles of background singers, vocalists, or at most, singer-songwriters; she, however, has a profile of an absolute protagonist.

Although she is commonly associated with being the wife of Miles Davis, when it comes to funk, it is Miles Dewey Davis III who should be remembered as Betty's husband.

In any case, more than half a century after its release, this album remains as exhilarating as it was in '74, not just a piece of cake!
