Cool. Love this song. Guess since it was composed in 1930 it's not in the public domain yet. Godd version here, Nigel. Heard nearly all you mentioned, but my favorite is Dizzy --he actually sings it (after a lengthy hormn intro wink )


Enjoy whatever happens!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Finely aged jazz not infirm by a long shot. I'm a little envious of the alto sax because all of the samples I've tried haven't been good enough for what I've been doing, whereas tenors always have been.

#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Classic jazz at its best.
Great vocal and instrumentation.
Great mix.

Nigel, a very joyful take on this wondrous standard. Love your vocals as always, and particularly nice job on the solo on this one. Super mix, too. Just...jazzy, man!

Nigel,

Excellent version of this classic tune! Your vocal works really well with this and that alto sax solo is wonderful. Terrific production on this to boot! I'm plus one to all the accolades above. Well done!

All my best.
