Love the bridge. Pizzarelli does a great job in interpretation and does a better rendition than any one I've heard here on YT, for one, he slows it down to a mildly swingin' ballad with great harmony. Song's composer - Benny Carter - wrote this in '36. But he plays it too fast. John Pizzarelli brought this song to a whole new level making it beautiful. I worked it out on the piano (Db) I think... keeping it about the same tempo.
+Edad Martin I love the Rockies. But it's hard to find good jazz, either there or in the Ozarks region from which I come. Appalachia is probably similar. Lots of bluegrass and country music, however. It's a good thing I'm an eclectic kind of guy.
amazing group, only great musicians. i am becoming a real fan of John Pizzarelli. He and Joe Pass are my favorites. Probably has something to do with the italian blood
Love his version of “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” Combining Wes Montgomery and Allman Brothers. The upbeat tempo is great cruising music to me. I appreciate John bringing back so many classics of several genres. Thank you John! Keep it up!
Drum machines are often good for pop and rock songs, but most of those machines suck when it comes to the kind of play heard here, with soft brushes. I wish more companies would address that flaw --- but I suppose that their failure to do so opens up a lot of opportunities for REAL drummers.
