I'm certain that every Forum members knows the classic Sunny, originally done in the mid 60's by Bobby Hebb. But some of you may have missed the news that Bobby Hebb passed away a couple of weeks ago.

Dean,
we have a saying here in North Carolina: "DAYum!"
OK, so that's not a saying... it's more of an exclamation... but I'm sayin' it anyway!
I wish you lived around here, because if you did I'd be pestering all the time for us to form a band and hit the vineyard jazz circuit. But, you don't. Bummer.
As always, I enjoy your interpretations of both classic jazz numbers as well as songs like Sunny that worked in the realm of pop. If it is true that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (and I think it *IS* true) you should be flattered to know that your playing never fails to excite my musical sensibilities in the direction of Jazz. Stay tuned to a music forum near you. You may get to hear some alarmingly inept attempts at jazz that have exactly the opposite effect on everyone else's music sensibilities.
As always, I bow to the master.. to Sensei... to the great teacher
Thanks for keeping us in the loop!

This is probably my favorite version of this song. Excellent across the board.

Way cool the way you and Martin jazzed it up and still kept the essence of the original song. Fab guitar licks in there. Hats off to Lance and the dark too.  Josie

Pat!
Up heah we say it: day-YUM!
But here is a Southerism that I wonder if they have "up" where you are: "cheah," as on a trash barrel next to a park bench that says, "Put your trash right cheah."
And you can bet my eyes are peeled in the direction of all Forums. I feel like Long John Silver with his spyglass scanning the horizon for any tell-tale signs: Ha-harr ... Marr.
Thank you my friend.
Dean

Dean,
We played it in the band a million times (well, nearly). A great number, and a fantastic tribute from you, and a really top arrangement. Especially loved the solo. Really nice...
Thanks for your tribute

Hi again Dean
For me is a problem to write in english correctly, normaly i makit with the help of google translate.
What i was triyng to tell you with "all your instruments you play sounds terrific" is that you play exellent all the instrments.
You and me we are veterans, we know that the instruments are not so important, what make the y sound good is the player.
YOU sound terrific!!

Hi Dean,
what a great arrangement! Really interesting chord structure compared with the original. Your playing is stunning.
You even managed to make the rather boring HornSectionBackground sound interesting. Wonder how you did that.
My regards to Martin Jones and Lance and the Dark.

I well remember the song and did not
know that he had passed.
The song has a great sentiment and
this tribute more than does it justice.
Great arrangement and wonderful picking.
We both enjoyed it.

One of my favorite song. One of those that I sing "under my breath" all the time - like humming..
Y'all did a good job all around. An interesting arrangement. Nice guitar work. (and bass and keys...)
I enjoyed it.
However... it will now be weeks before I get it out my head...

Aleck.... this is my favorite cover song I've heard you do....
From the cool jazz stuff to the very "George Benson" like guitar octave's solo.....
very well done musically.
My nit...and this is more a matter of taste.... is that the vocal sounds so far back in the room and has lots of room sound in it. I'd have preferred to hear the voice closer, more intimate, less roomy sounding. But again, it's just my personal taste.
Yeah... the best I've heard from you yet
