Feeling Orange But Sometimes Blue

I found another great color song — Feeling Orange But Sometimes Blue composed by Ledisi, featuring Pete Escovedo on timbales amd Karl Peraza on congas and bongos.




You can hear Ledisi singing with MSJO in "Ella," a ballet suite arranged by Marcus that was commissioned by Oakland Ballet, on the MSJO website. http://www.marcusshelby.com/discography.htm

Ledisi will be performing with the Count Basie Orchestra at the Blue Note in NYC from Sept.7-12 with her arranger/conductor Marcus Shelby. I can't help but think that this song references our favorite jazz man...
