This week's episode of Rock N Roll Fashionistas is an open letter of love to Diane Keaton who passed over into the ether of the unknown this past week...

Avidly opposed to cosmetic surgery, Keaton was quoted in 2004 as saying, "I'm stuck in this idea that I need to be authentic, My face needs to look the way I feel."
Portions of this episode let Keaton's work speak for itself, as heard from films
Annie Hall 1977
Manhattan 1979
Interiors 1978
Also in this episode we pay homage to our favorite Bronx born, New Yorker, Kiss member, lead guitarist, vocalist and songwriter extraordinaire Ace Frehley who followed through Keaton's footsteps into heaven this past week...
All of this AND MORE! in the latest episode of Rock N Roll Fashionistas where we find ourselves, just like old times, back in a New York groove and made for loving you!
OPENING TRACK: Annie Ross's original recording of her 1952 vocalese composition Twisted based on an original composition of the same name written and recorded in 1949 by American bebop tenor saxophonist Wardell Gray. https://music.apple.com/ca/album/twisted-remastered/889725994?i=889726241 Woody Allen opened his 1997 film Deconstructing Harry with this exact same Annie Ross original recording of the song. Over the years, both as a member of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross and also as a solo artist, Annie Ross would go on to record countless versions of this song but none ever matched the urgency, depth and power of her original recording heard here as well as Allen's film.
CLOSING TRACK: American bebop tenor saxophonist Wardell Gray and his original 1949 New Jazz Record Company recording of his composition Twisted https://music.apple.com/ca/album/twisted-11-11-49/305738553?i=305739465 accompanied by Al Haig piano, Tommy Potter bass and Roy Haynes drums, reinterpreted three years later in a vocalese variation by singer Annie Ross in 1952 and once again 22 years later by Joni Mitchell on her 1974 album Court And Spark.
