Lovely. Kind of in a toe tapping rhythm . Ray Charles has a version that's so " languid " that you almost fall out of your chair waiting for the next note . He has the discipline to wait that extra 1/10 of a second in spite of the melody pushing the song forwatd . Thanks for your beautiful playjng of a great song .
I was just going to say that sounds an awful lot like "Don't Dream of Anybody But Me," so I looked up "Li'l Darin'" to make sure I wasn't crazy. I was today years old when I learned that the former was adapted from the latter. All thanks to your excellent rendition here. PS: Caught your act last week at Cliff Dwellers. You were aces.
Thank you, Kevin! I was unaware that there were lyrics written to "'Lil Darlin'". I looked up Ella Fitzgerald's version. Glad you enjoyed the Cliff Dwellers performance!
Yeah, that Ella Fitzgerald side is how I first heard the tune (though I'm a HUGE Basie fan). The first time it debuted with lyrics was when Basie and Mel Torme did it on the Judy Garland Show in 1963. There's also a pretty good Bobby Darrin version I've been listening to since high school, lol. Anyway, thanks again for such a great show. I was gonna come by and say congratulations, but I got caught up talking with Lindsay and some folks. Hopefully next time. @@PamelaYork
not easy to emulate and entire orchestral arrangement........nice work.... i do this on guitar, it's sometimes difficult to know where to play the solo notes, and still try to keep the back up going as well....
Always sooo good to hear you, Pamela! I have such fond memories of our stint at Pala Casino w/Chris Conner (R.I.H.). That was such a wonderful grrowth gig for me! Happy New Year and I hope you and your family are well!
Nice playd. I playd that in a smaal bigband in denmark in eyarly 90´tis. In the 1980´is we playd copy from america. Bud later i was komposing my own music and local languiqe on text. People cot scared. They never heard that before on this remote island. I playd the piano and instrumental, so that was now fun. To day i work and play music as a hobby. Do some sheep and play flute 🙂
