Music: Aaron Neville and the Neville Brothers

Here are three songs – the first two from the group the Neville Brothers and the third from an Aaron Neville solo album.
You may know Aaron Neville from the song Tell it like it is, which was a hit in 1967 (here’s a YouTube version). The Neville Brothers are a New Orleans band that’s been around since the 1950s. They’ve never received as much acclaim as their fans feel they deserve.
See the first music post for details on the playbar, Amazon, and iTunes.

The Neville Brothers – Little Piece of Heaven

From the album: Valence Street
Warm Up Two (5:08)

This is a sweet, gentle song. It’s just right for Warm Up Two in a Rosen Movement class.

The Neville Brothers – Dancin’ Jones

From the album: The Neville Brothers
Circle Two (3:15)
This could be a Warm Up Two song, but I usually save music with this much energy and enthusiasm for Circle Two.

Aaron Neville – Summertime

From the album: Nature Boy: The Standards Album
(3:41)
This song is an example of learning what not to use in a movement class. When I first heard this song, I was sitting in my car. The rhythm seemed strong enough, but it’s deceptive.
