SWEET LORRAINE (I)just found joy I'm as happy as a baby boy, baby boy With another brand new choo-choo toy When I met my sweet Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine. A pair of eyes That are brighter than the summer skies When you see them, you'll realize Why I love my sweet Lorraine. Now when it's rainin', I don't miss the sun Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho And to think that I'm the lucky one That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho Each night I pray That no one will steal her heart away I can't wait until that lucky day When I marry sweet Lorraine. ~interlude~ Now when it's rainin' I don't miss the sun Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho And to think that I'm the lucky one That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho Each night I pray That no one will steal her heart away I can't wait until that lucky day When I marry sweet Lorraine.

Wave 03:03
WAVE So close your eyes, for thats a lovely way to be Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together You can't deny, don't try to fight the rising sea Don't fight the moon, the stars above and don't fight me The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together When I saw you first the time was half past three, When your eyes met mine it was eternity By now we know the wave is on its way to be Just catch that wave don't be afraid of loving me The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together When I saw you first the time was half past three When your eyes met mine it was eternity By now we know the wave is on its way to be Just catch that wave, don't be afraid of loving me The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together

HONEYSUCKLE ROSE Every honeybee.... fills with jealousy When they see you out with me I dont blame them....goodness knows Honeysuckle rose When youre passin by....flowers drop and sigh And I know the reason why Youre much sweeter....goodness knows Honeysuckle rose Dont buy sugar....you just have to touch my cup Youre my sugar....its so sweet when you stir it up When Im taking sips...from your tasty lips Seems the honey fairly drips Youre confection.....goodness knows Honeysuckle rose. (instrumental break) Dont buy sugar....you just have to touch my cup Youre my sugar....its so sweet when you stir it up When Im taking sips...from your tasty lips Seems the honey fairly drips Youre confection.....goodness knows Honeysuckle rose. I said youre confection.....goodness knows Honeysuckle rose.

CHEEK TO CHEEK Heaven, Im in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When were out together dancing cheek to cheek Heaven, Im in heaven And the cares that hung around me through the week Seem to vanish like a gamblers lucky streak When were out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek Oh I love to climb a mountain And reach the highest peak But it doesnt thrill (boot) me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Oh I love to go out fishing In a river or a creek But I dont enjoy it half as much As dancing cheek to cheek (come on and) dance with me I want my arm(s) about you That (those) charm(s) about you Will carry me through... (right up) to heaven, Im in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When were out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging) Out together dancing cheek to cheek
5.
THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC That old black magic has me in its spell That old black magic that you weave so well Icy fingers up And down my spine The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine The same old tingle that I feel Inside When that elevator starts its ride Down and down I go, round and round I go Like a leaf thats Caught in the tide I should stay away but what can I do I hear your name, and Im aflame Aflame with Such a burning desire That only your kiss can put out the fire You are the lover that Ive waited for The mate that fate had me created for And every time your lips meet mine Baby down and down I go, All around I go In a spin, loving the spin that Im in Under that old black magic called love

MOODY’s MOOD FOR LOVE (He:) There I go, there I go, there I go There I go.. Pretty baby, you are the soul who snaps my control Such a funny thing but every time you’re near me I never can behave You give me a smile and then I’m wrapped up in your magic There’s music all around me, crazy music Music that keeps calling me so very close to you Turns me your slave Come and do with me any little thing you want to Anything baby, just let me get next to you Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes? Bright as stars that shine up above you in the clear blue skies How I worry about you Just can’t live my life without you Baby come here, don’t have no fear Oh, is there a wonder why I’m really feeling in the mood for love? So tell me why stop to think About this weather, my dear? This little dream might fade away There I go talking out of my head again, oh baby Won’t you come and put our two hearts together? That would make me strong and brave Oh when we are one, I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid If there’s a cloud up above us Go on and let it rain I’m sure our love together will endure a hurricane Oh my baby Won’t you please let me love you And give a relief from this awful misery? (She:) What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet? I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before Can’t you understand me? Now baby, please pull yourself together, do it soon My soul’s on fire, come on and take me I’ll be what you make me, my darling, my sweet (He:) Oh baby, you make me feel so good Let me take you by the hand Come let us visit out there In that new promised land Maybe there we can find A good place to use a loving state of mind I’m so tired of being without And never knowing what love’s about... James Moody, you can come on in man And you can blow now if you want to (Both:) We’re through.

Skylark 07:22
SKYLARK Skylark Have you anything to say to me Won't you tell me where my love can be Is there a meadow in the mist Where someone's waiting to be kissed Oh skylark Have you seen a valley green with spring Where my heart can go a-journeying Over the shadows and the rain To a blossom-covered lane And in your lonely flight Haven't you heard the music in the night Wonderful music Faint as a will o' the wisp Crazy as a loon Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon Oh skylark I don't know if you can find these things But my heart is riding on your wings So if you see them anywhere Won't you lead me there Oh skylark Won't you lead me there
8.
I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN Ive got you under my skin Ive got you deep in the heart of me So deep in my heart, that youre really a part of me Ive got you under my skin Ive tried so not to give in Ive said to myself this affair never will go so well But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know than well That Ive got you under my skin Id sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of having you near In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night And repeats, repeats in my ear Dont you know you fool, you never can win Use your mentality, wake up to reality But each time I do, just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin cause Ive got you under my skin
9.
A Foggy Day 05:40
A FOGGY DAY I was a stranger in the city Out of town were the people I knew I had that feeling of self-pity What to do, what to do, what to do The outlook was decidedly blue But as I walked through the foggy streets alone It turned out to be the luckiest day Ive known A foggy day, in london town Had me low, had me down I viewed the morning, with much alarm British museum, had lost its charm How long I wondered, Could this thing last But the age of miracles, hadnt past For suddenly, I saw you there And through foggy london town, The sun was shining everywhere For suddenly, I saw you there And through foggy london town, The sun was shining everywhere
10.
THE NEARNESS OF YOU Its not the pale moon that excites me That thrills and delights me, oh no Its just the nearness of you It isnt your sweet conversation That brings this sensation, oh no Its just the nearness of you When youre in my arms and I feel you so close to me All my wildest dreams come true I need no soft lights to enchant me If youll only grant me the right To hold you ever so tight And to feel in the night the nearness of you
11.
Spain 06:46
SPAIN Yesterday, just a photograph of yesterday... And all it's edges folded and the corners faded sleepy brown. And yet it's all I have of our past love, A post script to it's ending. Brighter days, I can see such brighter days. When every song we sang is sung again. And now we know, we know this time it's for good. And we're lovers once again...and you're near me. I can remember the rain in December, the leaves of brown, on the ground... In Spain I did love and adore you! The nights filled with joy were our yesterdays And tomorrow will bring you near me. I can recall my desire Every reverie is on fire And I get a picture of all my yesterdays, Yesterday I can say. I get a kick every time they play...that spain again! I can remember the rain in December, the leaves of brown, on the ground... Our love was a spanish fiesta The bright lights and songs were our joy each day! And the nights were the heat of yearning. I can recall my desire Every reverie is on fire And I get a picture of all my yesterdays, Yesterday I can say. I get a kick every time I see...you gaze at me I see moments of history Your eyes meet mine and they dance to the melody And we live again, as if dreaming The sound of our hearts beat like castenettes And forever we'll know their meaning. You gaze at me...I see moments of history. Your eyes meet mine and they dance to the melody. And we live again, as if dreaming The sound of our hearts beat like castenettes And forever we'll know their meaning.

about

Hanjin “Raw Jazz”

Here's one of those rare multi-disciplinary musicians who is at that stage in his career where you know he's brilliant but you can't quite put a finger on what he's exactly about just yet. Arguably, the best Jazz singer in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, he sings straight from the heart but if you listen closely, there lies some immaculate technique and maturity under all that unchecked emotion. He's dabbled in a myriad of genres from rock to chinese pop music and now he's put out a back-to-basics jazz album. You just can't help but wonder what he's gonna do next.
Hanjin is a “Jack of all trades”, and there are only a few in Asia. He is an award-winning record producer and songwriter, a trend-setting arranger and mixer, as well as an acclaimed singer. An absolute show-stealer.
Born and educated in Singapore, Hanjin debuted as a songwriter on Hong Kong artist Jacky Cheung ‘s “No Regrets” in 1998, and has made more than 400 songs since. He is popular for his work in creating edgy songs and developing album concepts for Chinese records in the region of South East Asia and China. In 2004, he formed a music production team known as The Invisible Men with a small group of devoted producers and arrangers including Alex Fung, Kenneth Tse, and Tim Ngoh. In 2007, he produced a song for international sensation Christina Aguilera and Korean pop idol, Rain, for a Pepsi Campaign.
Hanjin currently serves as an ambassador for Diesel:U:Music founded by renowned fashion brand Diesel.
In “Raw Jazz”, Hanjin sings eleven Jazz standards in the album with a three piece band, Jason Cheng (piano), Paul Candelaria (bass) and Skip Moy (guitar). All songs were recorded in one take, in the form of live recording sessions.

Track listing:
1. Sweet Lorraine (4:06)
2. Wave (3:04)
3. Honeysuckle Rose (3:36)
4. Cheek to Cheek (3:08)
5. That Old Black Magic (3:29)
6. Moody’s Mood For Love (3:55)
7. Skylark (7:24)
8. I’ve Got You Under My Skin (4:52)
9. A Foggy Day (5:40)
10. The Nearness Of You (7:03)
11. Spain (6:46)

“Standout tracks include a jive-worthy version of "Honeysuckle Rose" and "That Old Black Magic," in which Candelaria's bass grounds Tan's larger-than-life channeling of the already larger-than-life Sammy Davis Jr. Exuberant and unexpected, this album reveals a little-known side to a town that clearly knows how to swing,” reviewed by TIME MAGAZINE (April 6, 2009 Issue).

“Hanjin is a technically accomplished vocalist. He has been compared to Michael Buble, but these small group recordings are far removed from the Canadian singer's big-band performances, and his phrasing in the upper area of his register is closer to Aaron Neville's,” reviewed by Robin Lynam on South China Morning Post (March 15, 2009).

“Raw Jazz” is currently available on itunes, amazon.com and is out in stores in Hong Kong and Singapore.
