Let’s add The Girl From Ipanema to the list.
I agree we should play what our audiences want to hear and I try to do that, but there must be limits.
I hope we don’t just cover these hackneyed songs verbatim. We should put our own spin on them.
For instance, I play Hotel California with jazz chord substitutions to a Latin beat.
How about Cat's Cradle as a rumba, or Yesterday as a minuet?
How about With A Little Help From My Friends as a swing tune? Oh wait, it already is.
