“My Ideal” - One of my favorite songs composed in 1930 and played by one of my favorite pianists, Art Tatum. Art recorded it with Ben Webster as well as Coleman Hawkins.

Here's a beautifuk version of "When you wish upon a Star", by master ballad singer, Martina
Bárta. We recorded our rehearsal today.

Hi All,

"Samba e Amor" - a beautiful song by Brazilian composer Chico Buarque. Here's a simple version of the song played with an AAB form. Here's the lead sheet:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1okuOrqEVQlzHTDoxafJjD9V_K71rP8ag/view?…

I was inspired by Tony's rendition of "Joy Spring" so I decided to try a a couple of choruses, concentrating on keeping the time, experimenting with different voicings, rhythmic comping and ultimately trying to swing! VERY Challenging with any solo bebop version. The reason I faded the track out is simply because I didn't like what I played towards the end. :-) Not terribly mysterious (Ha ha!)

That's not for jazz purists, but it's just fun.
