Topic: But Not For Me (Pianoteq)

here's one of the great tunes by the Gershwins, "But Not For Me."  i've always really enjoyed this tune.  it's so simple but still there's so much to it.  i think the jumping up to high G in the second ending is one of the great melodic ideas of all time.  it's such a great idea!

I really enjoyed the expressiveness, perfect to sit back with and just listen with eyes closed. Very well done!

Nice ”going up” ending! Bravo. Like it. Surprisingly beautiful given how simple it was.
Amazing impro, have a lot of things…I like the speed and flow throughout the piece.
And I always like your playing and music, nice to listen to, because I can't play that style myself.

Thank you budo. Keep going!

Always my best to you,

Stig

A perfect one ! Almost like a piano's duet. The vibe reminds me (a bit) of Liza, played by Hancock and Corea in 1978.

thank you!  i had to go back and listen to this recording (i wore that record out as a kid ... one of my favorite recordings).  i see what you mean!  there is another recording from that tour that was originally released on Polydor that is also great.
