What "spoken singing" style did Carl Hancock Rux use in his debut album "Rux Revue"?
Sprechgesang Sprechgesang (] , "spoken singing") and Sprechstimme (] , "spoken voice") are expressionist vocal techniques between singing and speaking. Though sometimes used interchangeably, "Sprechgesang" is directly related to the operatic "recitative" manner of singing (in which pitches are sung, but the articulation is rapid and loose like speech), whereas "Sprechstimme" is closer to speech itself (because it does not emphasise any particular pitches).
Singin' the Blues (1920 song) "Singin' the Blues" is a 1920 jazz composition by J. Russel Robinson, Con Conrad, Sam M. Lewis, and Joe Young. It was recorded by the Original Dixieland Jass Band in 1920 as an instrumental and released as a Victor 78 as part of a medley with "Margie". The song was released with lyrics by vocalist Aileen Stanley in 1920 on Victor. In 1927, Frank Trumbauer, Bix Beiderbecke, and Eddie Lang recorded and released the song as an Okeh 78. The Trumbauer recording is considered a jazz and pop standard, greatly contributing to Frank Trumbauer and Bix Beiderbecke's reputation and influence (it remained in print at least until the Second World War). It is not related to the 1956 pop song "Singing the Blues" first recorded and released by Marty Robbins in 1956.
