Hi Dani,

Flawlessly? Such a kind response. But, really, if you want to hear flawless, you must listen to the definitive version of this rarely performed song as done by Johnny Hartman, may his soul rest in peace. He has nothing to fear from me. Many people hearing this tune for the first time find it difficult to listen to, and actually don't like it regardless of who sings it. You know, there are two types of geniuses: The first you could call a "conventional" genius: this person is like you or me, except much, much stronger - but at least we can understand, possibly with a lot of work, where their ideas come from. Then there is the genius that we might call a "magician." His or her ideas seem to drop out of the sky without a return address. One sees the brilliance of their creations, but their insights have no past, nothing to go back to for clarification. Billy Strayhorn was such a genius. The harmonic logic of Lush Life cannot be anticipated in advance. It unfolds with surprise after surprise. Yes, Billy Strayhorn was a magician.
