I had heard of it...and it's not too shabby (thanks for getting me to listen to it closely)...but there are So many good and interesting versions of the song that this could be a daily feature for a year.
ReplyDeleteOf those all, I'll take the Miles. Of course.
ReplyDeleteGil Evans sure knew how to put together a project.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick a favorite among these, it'd be Real close, but I might give a nod to the Fitzgerald and Armstrong. And, of course, the Lambert, Hendricks and Ross recording was their adaptation of the Evans/Davis, and the Berklee Students slightly rearrange the L, H & R....
