Love your videos, especially the real book series. Your stories and background information on these songs and even the chapter notes are all really interesting and helpful to me.
you're thinking art tatum-ish but man Harold Arlen actually wrote the piano score in Eb and published it. Can't see that you've actually learned that yet, i'll keep watching
Forgive an honest listener, but this betrays not a single speck of understanding of Harold Arlen's masterpiece. The pianist has omitted the very emotional heart of the song, which of course is in Eb, a key that he wishes to avoid somehow. The tune that goes with the lyric, this moment, this minute, and each second in it: that's the Eb key to the song. Instead we get a bit of Charlie Brown's Christmas swerving into the carousel at Rye Playland. I've practiced the Arlen songbook on piano for years and its challenging, don't make a mockery of what you haven't shown you've mastered.

thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed this!
Arlen is a unique composer...."Out of this world" ....need I say more?
i agree, and yes, that's another great song!
Really swinging! Like how you put the melody in the left-hand for a bit.
Thanks mudbone - that's fun to do!

Masterful! what a great swing feel. The complete jazz pianist!
Thanks - that a very nice thing to say!
@@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453 welcome😊
Never knew about Harold Arlen til now, great video! Do you think you'll ever do a video on "but not for me"?
That's a great song too! For now, I'm sticking with the Real Book but perhaps in the future. Have you heard Ahmad Jamal's version?
@@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453 not yet, but now I know what tune and album I'll be listening to today! Thanks
@@TheSuperdragon64 Enjoy - it was a big radio hit at the time.

Post your own version of you playing it if you're such a "master". Otherwise go pound sand.
