Amy on this cut is a whole other level of jazz songstress.
Tony Bennett, Amy Winehouse – Body and Soul (from Duets II: The Great Performances)

Bennett poignantly said of her, “She had the voice of an angel: a being that works on a plane higher than the one most of us inhabit down here.”

Sinatra says hello. There is something specifically Ameri-
can in this music that makes you feel good immediately.

Irony of history, they’re singing in Hitler’s mic,
developled to spread anti-Jewish propaganda.

The creep, Blake Fielder-Civil, that turned her onto drugs and eventually destroyed her.
Don’t let that happen to someone you love! Do whatever is necessary to prevent and stop it or this will be their ending too. A tragedy!
She went from that to this:

My relationship to jazz music is hard to put into words. Although I like to listen to it so to say casually,
I still consider it kind of trivial. It creates a certain mood of serenity, thoughtfulness and confidence,
this music does not grab you, but leaves you in peace and respects the peculiarity of its listeners.

It remains shallow on the surface, although it may transport the most intimate texts, while other tones
and notes penetrate you, forcing you to show an emotional reaction. Jazz has never made me cry. This
is its strength, but also its weakness. Jazz is an expression of a specific American way of life. On the whole, Americans respect your freedom (those who don’t respect it are certainly only pretended Americans, like for example some morons here in the forum), but too much emotional participation is not to be expected from
them as Europeans, otherwise you might quickly be disappointed by this expectation. Personally, I find this attitude to life very accommodating, I would even prefer it to the intrusive, near “European” one, where
millions of people live in one spot, even if I would then be considered “superficial and disinterested”.

When you hear jazz music, you inevitably associate it with New York’s skyscrapers, in which thousands of people live. Everyone should unfold in a way that is in keeping with their nature.

While this whole multiculturalism in Europe seems completely forced and
unnatural to me, it has a completely different meaning in America. In the
end, everyone is a stranger, which in turn welds them together. America
is familiar – and anonymous. You can experience everything or nothing.

The dimensions alone are unimaginable to us. The houses, the cities,
the spaces between the cities. This is both impressive and frightening.

The social gradient there does not seem to lead to such distortions, because it
is regarded as natural: everyone is the blacksmith of his happiness. In contrast
to us, where there is an enormous pressure to adapt and group coercion. Howe-
ver, the poorest of us still live on a social level that the poor in America can only
dream of. Here everyone can rely on being caught by the social system. You re-
ally have to be a complete idiot to live in Western Europe like America’s losers.

Georg Stefan Troller, when he arrived in New York as a Jewish refugee from the Nazis, was ne-
ver able to make friend with American culture. These cities did not “speak” to him, they did not breathe history and culture, as it is so emminently important for Jews with a European influence.

(“with a European influence” = with European background)
Sometimes you have to travel very
far to see where your real home is.
