Warming up with a few notes from Rachmaninoff's Prelude Op 3 n°2, Beethoven's Für Elise and Norwegian Christian Sinding's Frühlingsrauschen (Rustle of Spring). She must have studied classical piano.
many people dont know she was a piano player for the church choir back in Jersey and was the piano player for the Billy Eckstine big band,and she also read music,
@@msx68k Well, a tritone used to be called "The Devil's Interval", but she was a Bopper, so it's called a #11. (A over an Eb 7 chord; Ab, as a perfect fourth, would be a dissonance.) The very next time, she supports the #11 with a b9. These notes, E and A natural, help the transition to to the A minor 7th that comes next. Sarah Vaughan knew EXACTLY what she was doing here. Your bleeding ears need to be updated to the late 19th /early 20th Century French Impressionists.
Magnificent, first time I ever heard this. can someone tell me the name of the song at 1:19, or is it an intro, going in to, tea for two. excellent pianist. What a legend!
