Stuck on this.
for real though. and let me tell you why:
this was a reimagining of amy’s beloved song, and while it may have come too soon after her passing, jay-z sure as fuck captured and updated the basic polyrhythmic, swung-note pace of 1920’s trombone player charlie green by covering this song.
back to black seems to pay homage to the mentality and musical agility of ragtime jazz à la bessie smith’s “trombone cholly” — while charlie accompanies her on the trombone.
(seriously, you’ll want to hear this, so click.)
amy loved jazz. she was all ABOUT jazz. she was jazz.
i think that even though this rendition won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, she would have given a couple fucks about the process behind the reconstruction of the song and its context within the album.

“I don’t give a shit what the world thinks. I was born a bitch, I was born a painter, I was born fucked. But I was happy in my way. You did not understand what I am. I am love. I am pleasure, I am essence, I am an idiot, I am an alcoholic, I am tenacious. I am; simply I am…You are a shit.”
— Frida Kahlo, from an unsent letter to Diego Rivera (via c-ovet)
