Luckily for me, I was able to pull it off (barely), but now, I'll NEVER forget this jazz standard. Funny how certain songs like this can conjure up such a lasting lifetime memory. By the way, this music professor, Mr. ( Elvo S. D'Amante ) remains among my most cherished & respected music professors I've ever the opportunity to study with. I often wonder whatever happened to him. He was equally at home with classical & jazz, and shared many fasinating stories (from studying privately with legendary French Composer Darius Milhaud , to playing in famous jazz bands in the 40's & 50's) with us, his students.

Mr. Elvo S. D'Amante:


My apologies for digressing.
