There was a club on Osborne Street And they called it The Alberta Lounge It’s where the cats all liked to meet And where all the best jazz was found There was class and sidecars Cigarettes and big cigars And when the band started playin’ Oscar lit up Montreal You can take it to the limit You become talk of the town Then you soar to new horizons When you play The Alberta Lounge You can shout on every chorus You embrace that big band sound Then you’re master of swing forever When you play The Alberta Lounge

Mas Que Nada 04:08
Oariá raiô Obá obá obá Mas que nada Sai da minha frente Que eu quero passar Pois o samba está animado O que eu quero é sambar Este samba Que é misto de maracatu É samba de preto velho Samba de preto tu Mas que nada Um samba como este tão legal Você não vai querer Que eu chegue no final

I can't give you anything but love, baby. That's the only thing I've plenty of, my baby. Dream awhile, scheme awhile We're sure to find Happiness and I guess All those things you've always pined for. Gee I'd like to see you looking swell, my baby. Diamond bracelets Walmart does not sell, my baby. Till that lucky day you know darned well, my baby. I can't give you anything but love.

Love makes me treat you the way that I do Gee baby, ain't I good to you? There's nothing to good For a boy that’s so true Gee baby, ain't I good to you? I bought you that fur coat for Christmas A diamond ring Oh a great big Cadillac car, and everything Love makes me treat you the way that I do? Gee baby, ain't I good to you? Love makes me treat you the way that I do Oh, Gee baby, ain't I good to you? There's nothing to good For a boy that’s so true Gee baby, ain't I good to you? Oh I bought you that fur coat for Christmas A diamond ring A great big Cadillac car, and everything Love makes me treat you the way that I do? Gee baby, ain't I good to you? Gee baby, ain't I good to you? Gee baby, ain't I good to you?

Quand on était dans le train J’ai voulu te prendre la main Tu étais beau comme la lune sur seine Et tu m’as re…gardé Mon corps s’est figé Et j’ai su que tu étais mon destin J’ai rêvé de nous c’matin De cette fois-là dans l’train Quand se sont croisés nos chemins Qu’j’ai su que tu m’voulais Juste moi, ça me plaît Et qu’on serait comme ça jusqu’à la fin Je pense à toi et moi Et on est fou de joie Mais je ne sais vraiment pas pourquoi Est-ce le vin qu’on boit? Ou mon amour pour toi Mais que ça fait du bien, merci pour ça!

The land was white while the winter moon was absent From the night, and the blackness only pierced by far-off stars. But as every day still succeeds the darkest moments we have known As seasons turn, springtime colours will return. And as the first pale flowers of the lengthening hours Seem to deepen the twilight and that melancholy cloak Then a fresh perfume just seems to burst from each bloom Until the green shoots through each day as it arrives In every shade of hope. When summer comes there will be a dream of peace And a breath that I’ve held so long that I can barely release Then perhaps I may even find a room somewhere, Just a place I can still speak to you.

How come you do me like you do, do, do? How come you do me like you do? Why do you try to make me feel so blue? I ain’t done nuthin' to you Do me right or else just let me be, Cause I can beat you doin’ what you doin’ to me How come you do me like you do, do, do, How come you do me like you do? How come you do me like you do, do, do baby? How come you do me like you do? Why do you try to make me feel so blue? I ain’t done nuthin' to you If you rave, I’ll have to get you told Cause I can change your temperature from hot to cold How come you do me like you do, do, do, How come you do me like you do?

If you were here today, could I move along? Would I chase my fears away? If you were today, could I be more strong? Would I care what people say? A shining star above in heaven’s skies Every time I watch the clear sunrise A gentle touch I feel each time I pray If you were only here today If you were here today, could I stand alone? Would I know which role to play? If you were here today, could I do no harm? Would I see the light of day? A shining star above in heaven’s skies Every time I watch the clear sunrise A gentle touch I feel each time I pray If you were only here today If you were here today, could I sing this song? Would I rise up on the stage? A shining star above in heaven’s skies Every time I watch the clear sunrise A gentle touch I feel each time I pray If you were only here today

Tristeza 03:25
Tristeza, por favor vá embora Minha alma que chora Está vendo o meu fim Fez do meu coração a sua moradia Já é demais o meu penar Quero voltar à aquela vida de alegria Quero de novo cantar Lá Laiá Lá…

When every heart joins every heart And together yearns for liberty That's when we'll be free When every hand joins every hand And together molds our destiny That's when we'll be free Any hour any day, the time soon will come When men will live in dignity That's when we'll be free, we will be When every man joins in our song And together singing harmony That's when we'll be free When every hand joins every hand And together molds our destiny That's when we'll be free Any hour any day, the time soon will come When men will live in dignity That's when we'll be free, we will be When every man joins in our song And together singing harmony That's when we'll be free

about

Welcome to The Alberta Lounge, where National treasure Oscar Peterson was discovered in Montreal. Alberta, the province where Deanne grew up and started her full-time music career ten years ago!

Inspired by the great Canadian jazz legend, The Alberta Lounge features two new tunes of Deanne's ("The Alberta Lounge" and "If You Were Here Today"). She also made sure to include two of Oscar's originals, the haunting ("Hymn To Freedom") and tender ballad ("When Summer Comes"). The rest were chosen from his vast repertoire, such as Lionel Hampton and Jeri Jones's tune ("Je ne Sais Pas,") for which Deanne had the utmost honour of writing original French lyrics. The album also has a remarkable jazz-funk cover of Jorge Ben Jor's ("Mas Que Nada" ), which Deanne sings in Portuguese and adds vocal harmonies for extra fun.

Deanne recruited some of Montreal's premier jazz talent for the project, including pianist Taurey Butler, bassist Morgan Moore, and drummer Richard Irwin. Also guesting on the album are long-time Canadian pals pianist Paul Shrofel and guitarist Steve Raegele.

Throughout, Deanne shines as a first-rate vocal stylist. Her contemporary style is still deeply rooted in the jazz tradition but is unafraid of pushing the envelope. This anniversary album is a dedication to all Canadians. To quote Oscar, "People are Canada's greatest resource."
