One of the famous composition by Cole Porter.
In this my "version" there are many "Changes and Notes" of the melody, that does not exist on the original, even though I've learned that you should never change the melody, at least in the first verses.....this time I ignored the theory :-)

More informations:
"Night and Day" (Jazz Standard) is a popular song by Cole Porter. It was written for the 1932 musical play Gay Divorce, and is perhaps Porter's most popular contribution to the Great American Songbook.
Fred Astaire introduced "Night and Day" on stage, and his recording of the song was a #1 hit. He performed it again in the 1934 film version of the show, renamed The Gay Divorcee, and it became one of his signature pieces. The song itself became an American standard and has been recorded by dozens of artists.
Porter was known to claim that the Islamic call to worship he heard on a trip to Morocco inspired the song.[1]
The song was so associated with Porter that when Hollywood first filmed his life story in 1946, the movie was entitled Night and Day.
"Night and Day" has been recorded many times, notably by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and U2.
Sinatra recorded the song five times; with Axel Stordahl in his first solo session in 1942 and again with him in 1947; with Nelson Riddle in 1956 for A Swingin' Affair!, with Don Costa in 1961 for Sinatra and Strings (considered by many to be the best version)[citation needed], and even a disco version with Joe Beck in 1977.
Fitzgerald's most celebrated recording of the song occurred on her 1956 album Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook. The song was recorded by Ringo Starr in 1970 for its first solo album "Sentimental Journey". It was then recorded in 1982 as a one-off collaboration between Tracey Thorn with student friend Ben Watt as Everything But The Girl; subsequently the duo became a well established pop act.
The song was recorded by U2 in 1990 and appeared on the Red Hot + Blue compilation album. Thomas Anders (of Modern Talking fame) recorded his version in 1997 on the album Live Concert. Rod Stewart recorded a version for his 2004 album Stardust: the Great American Songbook 3. A rendition was recorded by The Temptations and the version is features in and on the soundtrack for the 2000 movie What Women Want.
"Night and Day" also reappeared on the American pop charts in 1967 done by Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66.
In 2004, a version of "Night and Day" was included in the biographical film about Cole Porter, De-Lovely, sung by John Barrowman and Kevin Kline. The song was also recorded in 2005 by Sondre Lerche on his album Duper Sessions. In 2007 it was recorded by Bebel Gilberto with a bossa nova approach on her album Memento.
The Colts Drum and Bugle Corps is using "Night and Day" for their 2008 show.

I still listen to this 10 years later. What a lovely piece
Thank you so much!
I was recently diagnosed with severe ADHD and today is my first day taking meds for it. My wjole life has been a constsnr barrage of thoughts and clutter in my head and this moment, just now, was the first time in my life i've ever been 100% at peace and I shed teats while listening to this with not a care in my mind. Thank you stranger, for this wonderful memory.
Hope you’re doing good
Dont get the ADHD stigma into your mind, everyone of us has a little bit of these kind of struggles everyday, my suggestion take 2-3 hours everyday cut internet iphone from your life and do just one little thing that makes you smile.
I know it's quite off topic but does anyone know of a good site to stream new series online ?
@Willie Zayn i dunno I'd suggest flixportal. Just google after it:P -alexander
@Alexander Wells thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it !!
i am in awe. absolutely fantastic. smooth and elegant. black and white background made it even more settling. perfecta
14 listeners were either envious mediocre jazz pianists or just plain mean-spirited....
This is pure heavenly music. Thank you.
Ive been playing drums for 45 years. I am 54 now and play in the Detroit area. I started playing piano a few years ago to expand my musicianship. It has mad a big difference in my drumming being more musical. Your improv is beautiful as well as your touch. If I could start over I would choose piano. Now I still practice drums everyday and have become proficient but I would love to play piano like you. Great job.
There are no words to describe how beautiful this is. I wish people in my high school could appreciate this.
Damn, 11 years ago
i really love this video. i grew up on this music. My father exposed me to this genre and I love him for it. I have a 17 yr old daughter into hip hop and we have our moments and I would play this for her. I want her to be exposed to all of it.
I've listened to many versions of this song, but this version has a cool and classy feeling.
Thank you Terry for sending me this video. It is an amazing piece of music and very smooth played. Thank you for posting Pianistaltaliano
Posted in 2007! My!
I have been looking for a rendition of Night and Day that feels as good as the version in the movie Now Voyager. That was played as background to a party in the second half of the movie.
This rendition exceeds that. Bravo
Many Thanks!
ciao pianista!
Today I found you on youtube, and I have to confess how glad I got to listen to your awesome piano solos. God bless ya my dear friend! I used to play too, but I haven't practiced for a while now, but listening to a real piano player like you are, made me fell like starting over.

Love it. Fluent and deep.
this is simply exquisite. thank you for posting it.
Thanks for the inspirational response, really appreciate it. Music has been something that has always dragged me in. Perhaps it's my calling, despite being a late bloomer. I've always half-assed majority of things in life to this point. Really want to change that and have something in my life that I can say, "I'm proud of what I achieved."
love your touch... gentle but nice energy! very sensitive, reminds me of the great McPartland. Thanks for sharing
this is such a relaxed solo. I could just sit here and listen to it. it really calms me down. I love it! wonderful music.

Beautiful
sounds amazing, bro. awesome job.
This is, quite honestly, an incredible video! I'm glad you have more of your work posted on youtube, I think you're going to become my new muse for writing
I am convinced that it is never too late, because learning a musical instrument should be available for first-line for personal enjoyment, therefore, to give joy to the soul. Then if one wants to learn just to prove to the listener to be a good musician, I think that music then takes a materialist form of listening, so with little or almost nothing of the soul ..... So I say, if you love music and play instruments, do not hesitate, take the liberty to get started right away without stopping age.
Amaziinng... just so beautiful...
I love it!
It's make me calm down.
Every time I listen to this I feel like everything on earth stops and I take a sigh of relief and drift into the night sky
one word amazing
WONDERFUL!
Fantastico, poche volte ho visto suonare il piano con tanta leggerezza.
this is so relaxing
I LOVE how you play!
excellent - nice changes... love it.
beautiful. this has a spot on my piano playlist, along with many of the other jazz pieces you perform. if i feel the stress of the outside world, it's comforting to be able to close off everything for a few moments and sink into my bed to the most relaxing of compositions. thanks for this wonderful interpretation.
Molto molto bravo. Musicalità stupenda. Piacevole da ascoltare. Si sentono le emozioni. Complimenti.
Fantastic!
exactly what im feeling right now. i wanna be lost in new york at night and stumble into a place like this. not sad, just melancholic. just me, alone... with jazz...
this is so lovely
I want to cheer loud when i hear this! Its absolutely wonderful!
I love this song, it reminds me of the good times. I like to just kick back outside stare up at the clouds and smoke a cig while listening to it. most relaxing day you could ever have.
Nothing like listening to some amazingly soothing jazz whilst doing homework...ahhh...
I've been teaching myself piano for about 3 years now and have tried to learn nothing but classical. A few days ago I decided to take a look into jazz so I typed in "jazz piano" and came across this video. I'm so glad I did, you play this so beautifully and I can only try and hope to be as talented as you someday.
Amazing Jazz pianist - very fluid.
Thanks for providing the histories of your pieces. I've watched several of your uploads. Very informative and your playing is wonderful. Lovely chordal progressions. Thanks.
