Some notes about the composition as found on
www.jazzguitar...
Composer: Horace Silver
Year: 1959
Origin: Introduced on the album Blowin' the Blues Away.
Style: Ballad
Form: A-B-C (10 Bars) [4-4-2]
A remarkably short form, the head is commonly played twice on the way in and out.
Key: Bb Major
Harmony/Overview: The harmony of this composition is functional, made up almost entirely of II-V-I's. Despite the frequent use of tri-tone substitution the piece never ceases to lose its sense of tranquility, and in just the 6th bar it reaches its climax with an ingenious maneuver of contrary motion between the bass and melody.
Recordings: This song has been recorded over 150 times to date. The first recording comes from Horace Silver's 1959 album Blowin' the Blues Away. Although Horace Silver was mostly known for his catchy groove-based tunes, he managed to compose one of the most beloved jazz ballads in the repertoire. Doug Carn's later addition of lyrics also helped to open up the piece to many vocalists.
