- Sorry for the scrappy video. This was a quick video capture that was done spur of the moment. This is a song by Burt Bacharach, which I have loved from the first time I heard it. My version of this song borders on being overly sentimental, but that is what came to me when I recorded it late Saturday night after midnight, reflecting my mood at the time, I guess. This is not a jazz piece per se, but Bill Evans covered it on one of his albums. In fact, I borrowed heavily from him on this piece. I do improvise for most of it. My approach to this piece is an attempt to balance intimacy against the grand gesture. Pull back too much and it gets sloggy, push the runs too much and it gets bombastic. Runs (arppegios) are a guilty pleasure of mine, takes me back to my gospel days. I hope you enjoy this piece. I enjoyed playing it.

It's been more than ten years and every now and then I still come back to listen. Still a beautiful rendition.
Words can not express my gratitude! Simply sublime!
greatly enjoyed and greatly admired, Thanks so much!
This moves me no matter how many times I watch this video
Your phrasing is so nice man. Your endings, such a mellow sound. Excellent.
I might have commented on this a year or so ago, but I always seem to come back to it. By far, the best rendition of this song I've seen. So sweet and full of passion. The last low grace note sends it home perfectly.
forty years ago, I played professionally as a base player in a 6 piece band. By far this is the best rendition of this song I have ever heard. Thanks for sharing.
One of my all time favorite songs. I was afraid it would sound hokey and lose the flavor of what makes it great. I was WRONG. You took it to a whole new level. I stopped trying to sing along and just savor your delicious interpretation. Thank you so much for a beautiful end to an already fantastic evening. You have a new fan in California.
I rarely make comments on videos but I had to in this case. I've heard a lot of different renditions of this song, and this one is by far the best I've heard. I've listened to this a hundred times at least. Your execution is flawless. The styles I hear are implemented perfectly and very fitting. The distinct changes in intensity and volume are genius in my opinion. I sincerely appreciate you sharing your talents. Bravo!!
So much Soul, so much passion, so much understanding. Never played or interpreted better and probably never will be ! A pianist at the top of the tree...
I agree.
