Elana, I was first exposed to your amazing singing talent in Israel nearly 20 years ago with your participation in a documentary video project I was working on. Loved your voice then, and even more now. I'm not normally a blues fan, but this song converted me! Keep writing and singing! The world needs you!

Hello Elana, you have a nice timbre to your voice. I have some arranging suggestions that could help the listeners stay compelled by your performance. I have to say, this is one of my favorite songs and lyric. I've had the pleasure of touring with the great singer Diane Reeves, and listening to her interpretations nightly was very inspiring. Anyways, for the intro, what could be cool is for you to start your wordless vocal acapella and then have the piano come in. I would do this rubato, even maybe when you sing the first A. When you're in a tempo from the very beginning of a ballad, instead of letting it evolve into a tempo, it doesn't sound as organic as it could. I would suggest that the A section be a little simpler in the melody and chord changes. It is such a dramatic lyric that if you perform it simply, it would have a bigger impact. This would also make your inflections and deviations on the bridge much more effective. This also applies to the harmonic movement of the chords. This note is for your rhythm section. When you come out of the melody into the solo, it needs more of a shift than just adding the ride cymbal. I'd try a slow swinging 4/4. Or breaking it down dynamically and letting it grow. The solo section stays at the same dynamic as your melody. The bridge out sounds good, but you will need to agree on the ending. Stretching out the last phrase and ending it there would be fine. If you're going to set up a vamp, it needs to be distinguished and more thought out with the rhythm section. It all sounds really good and it was really nice to listen to you. All the best, -Ted

There’s a rich, dark and bitter sweet feeling in the surreal mood the performers are creating. It’s tasty and brushes the emotion with a heavy gentle wave. Beautiful and sad, sensible, melancholy.

My jazz knowledge comes from family members like my grandmother and all of her children. Jazz for Black Americans is our only music which was created from Black Folk's and in today's time it's a lot of people who don't have a clue. I admire you for making jazz. What all instruments do you have or play currently? Do you read and write music? Have you been to America? If your interested in coming to Las Vegas NV to perform Infront of hundreds passing through, let me know? I have a street performers permit to display your talent

This interpretation is so gorgeous and profound that it really gave me the idea of ​​what actually cannot know what love is. The swinging and rhythm "trascinato" not only transcends the musical idea but above all transmits the soul of this song to the listener. The voice is very particular and ranges from a deep melancholy dictated by a pronounced and present timbre in the initial improvisation and in the exposition of the theme to then give an idea of ​​opening in the finale. The great harmony of the group and the empathy and mutual listening makes this song very pleasant and engaging to listen to.

Love this see song, the smooth way it is delivered and performed. Will be coming back to listen to more of the songs here at numberone music. Keep it going Elana you are doing a great job. Go listen to some of mine. Maybe a duet is in order, or something like that.

Gran bella voce…calda al punto giusto,perfetta per gli standard degli anni sessanta….ma anche 30/40…si sente il profumo dei sottoscala di new york,l’odore dei sigari e del whisky di marca …buona musica!

from the scatting in the beginning of the song, it takes on a secular tone when we notice that Elana is from Jerusalem, Israel. Her voice is very forceful, strong and pure (in the jazz sense). Her backing instrumentation of piano, bass and drums is very subtile, capable and fluid as a backing unit with a bonus of free improvisation. It harkens back to the early female torch vocalists of the 30's and 40's. I recommend this.

bravissimi complimenti e buona musica Antonio bravissimi complimenti e buona musica Antonio bravissimi complimenti e buona musica Antonio bravissimi complimenti e buona musica Antonio bravissimi complimenti e buona musica Antonio

Really good composition. Its a Song with a deep message behind, that touches something by the listener. Keep on doing you' re Kind of music, expression you want to. I wish you really all the best for the new beginning year - 2022- Stay healthy and happy as well! Hope you'll get in a creative process to create more songs, music can heal and gives us hope all over the planet! That is what I think about it. Hope you'll understand the mean conetent ?!

besides the interesting voice, the rest, including the arrange is quite ordinary... besides the interesting voice, the rest, including the arrange is quite ordinary... besides the interesting voice, the rest, including the arrange is quite ordinary...

One of my favorite songs! "You Don't Know What Love Is" continues to express the bewilderment of lovers who stray. I first heard this song in the late 70's. I was instantly drawn to the story. Elana's version is true to the melody and she has a sweet band. If you love trad jazz this one is for you!! With a voice like a candy cane, Ms. Watson makes it clear she understands what love is and sings with clarity and panache. A terrific version, and add it to your collection. Excellent soloing by the band and great ensemble work.

I was feeling this. From the introduction to the end it had my full attention. Wow music was awesome and smooth and really had a relaxing atmosphere. Song writing was Amazing as well as the vocals. A+ song
