Thanks ever so much for the clear and concise lesson and both downloads alto / tenor! Researching this song, some songfacts are - 'After Joel recorded this, he didn't think much of it, considering it a "gloppy ballad" that would only get played at weddings. He credits his producer, Phil Ramone, with convincing him that it was a great song. Ramone brought Linda Ronstadt and Phoebe Snow into the recording studio to hear the song, and of course they loved it, which was good enough for Billy. On Australian TV in 2006, Joel confirmed: "We almost didn't put it on an album. We were sitting around listening to it going naaah, that's a chick song."
Nice bit of info there Mark 😃 I do know that Phil Woods didn’t like the fact that he was known more for this solo than any of his amazing jazz material.
