another tune from the book, this time a beautiful ballad by Jimmy Van Heusen. for me the definitive recording is by Bill Evans. i learned so much about solo piano from studying that recording. so i shamelessly borrowed his choice of key signatures and reharmonization. sometimes i think you just can't improve on the work of the master

Very fine interpretation of one of my favourite pieces. Beautiful work! Great harmony! Like the ”arrangement”.
I listened to Evans version and, I think you have refined/renewed the piece. You like Evans’ version, you learned from studying, borrowed his reharmonization…..these are parts of ways to refine an interpretation. You got fresh insight and the result is amazing. So, I like you version more than Evans
I love how your playing ebbs and flows so wonderfully in the 2 first minutes! Enjoyed, enjoyed! Then I stopped analyzing / writing and closed my eyes and just listened, forgot time, space and place, hunger, today's problems ... and woke up and was pleasantly surprised by the end 5.20 - end - how your playing again ebbs and flows like in the beginning.
Wonderful, Master budo!
Thank you again for posting and sharing your skills and talent! This was a piece again where I can hear that you really like it and enjoy yourself playing. Well, this is how I really feel. Waiting for next.

thank you so much for listening and your kind comments. indeed i really enjoy playing this tune. the melody is so simple yet beautiful and the chord progression is really fantastic. i appreciate the comment about Bill Evans, but to be completely honest i like his better it's hard to beat ...
Yeah! As others have commented, really beautiful, expressive playing... Sounds like you're in the same room with you, playing.
