This song was made "famous" by Bill Evans (so to speak-it's not famous at all), but it is not his own composition. The composer is Denny Zeitlin.
Amy has been a huge supporter of this complex ballad ever since I started working on it in high school. Thanks!
And finally, last year at the Siena Hotel, I closed the night with this number, and André Watts tipped me $20 when I was done.
I'm SO EXCITED that you posted this!! I've been dying for a recording of YOU playing this, because as much as I love Bill Evans, it's not the same.
ReplyDeleteGlad this tune has stood your test of time. And glad to hear that I know how to pick the money makers!
But I want to hear more about this André Watts encounter...
