Beautiful work Shigeki! I listened carefully because I love the jazz waltz genre and I’m a big fan of Bil Evans. I liked both versions. I can see how your demo version would be so helpful for the live performance—it gives everything that’s needed to shape the recording and guide the vocalist and players. Excellent!!
I’m wondering—I heard the phrase at the end of the bridge and I immediately recognized it as close to the phrase at the end of if bridge of “Emily”, one of Bill Evan’s best solo pieces—did you intend that?
Great to hear your work again, always inspirational for me!
