Thanks for posting this beautiful tune, Chas. It’s been along time since I heard it and I’m thinking maybe I played it many years in high school or college jazz band.
Anyways after listening to this I was inspired to get out my real book and play through it. There a lot of great little harmonic and melodic gems to be found for sure. Very nice ii V I phrases with some blue notes thrown. I had fun playing through those in several keys. I think I’ll steal those- playing melodic phrases in all keys is a fun exercise that should keep me busy for awhile! Thanks for some much needed inspiration. So sorry about your friends. Listening to beautiful song such as this can help you deal with the grief.
