I heard this track in your album for the first time a couple of weeks ago, I was instantly mesmerized, beautiful arrangement! Thank you for sharing this version.

Thank you so much Antonio!

wow what a beautiful intro my friend

[@robertodetree1049]

Wonderful Maarten! you found a beautiful way of playing this tune on solo guitar. The Jazz Messengers version you mentioned - with Benny Golson, I heard it so many times! I'm glad it was your inspiration for making your guitar arrangement.

[@mvanderg]

Thank you so much Roberto!

Hi Marteen, wonderful playing! and a great choice of tunes like Along Came Betty or You've Changed as I heard on another video. By the way, did you hear Joni Mitchel's version? - I love it!

[@mvanderg]

🙏🏻 Roberto, yeah that entire Joni record is one of my favorites! I play also Answer Me in the solo project, her version with Shorter😵

Geef je ook les? Ik ben heel nieuwsgierig hoe je die reharmonisaties/arrangementen opzet. Ik zou graag eens een kijkje in de keuken hebben zogezegd. Ben een groot fan van Overgaauw en zijn leerlingen: Jesse van Ruller, Martijn van Iterson, en jij zelf natuurlijk.
