Thanks for your replies

John - What I want is kind of a meditation. Checked out your style suggestion - too much swing, I'm afraid :-(
I will be playing the melody on an Akai EWI with Samplemodellings Mr.Sax.T software, working in Logic Studio on a Mac. (Biab is an important reason for me to keep the PC :-)
Since the EWI also transpose well - the key is actually no issue. I stick to the original :-)

Jazzmadan - I really liked your version, but it's not the way I want to do it :-)

Trax - Your suggestion is closest to what I want - however, I feel that the style of the Nat King Cole recording is even - not swing.

I've not been able to find an even slow ballad style with acoustic bass :-(
I haven't bought the 2010.05 upgrade, so I don't know if there is one there - or if we can hope for something in the 2011 version.

Again - thanks a lot all 3 of you - and a very nice version Jazzmadan!

By the way - should this have been posted in the Off-Topic section, rather than here???
