It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
That's absolutely creative! I play that lick all the time with this tune and who would have thought you could do that!
Thanks Jazzwee! I was just so very tired of playing so many notes, also, there's so many note played in the guys and gals flicks that I felt enough is enough. Hence going all Philip Marlowe . . .
You dont know what love is, Lament, Stella, Giant Steps, several Jarrett's ballads (can never remember what they're called), a couple of Steve Swallow's compositions . . . ahh ballads so many,
I've always been partial to Blame It On My Youth and Here's That Rainy Day. Lately I've also really enjoyed taking more "up" tunes and pulling them down to ballads. (Even without a singer) this can often seem to put a fresh sort of spin on the lyrics, such as with When The Saints Go Marching In.

Just as we are talking ballads. What great selection this week. Black Orpheus. A very beautiful one with gorgeous harmonies that don't need to be touched. That should be a ball for all pianists.
I know this is a piano forum, but I think you guys would dig to have a listen at these tunes. They're three of the tunes I was proofing (and notating) this last autumn.
Hey Chris I love Monica's exquisite solo at 5:00 in Ballad for Herbie and Wayne. Also the brightness of the Yamaha contrasts wells with the mellowness of the bass.
