What a weird offbeat Jerome Kern offering! I think this was his last published composition? I wonder if he knew the end was near before his brain hemorrhage since this is such an offbeat harmonically song? Jimmy Wyble sent me his arrangement of this which I could send you if you like. I love how you flowed through this arrangement!
Hello James! Thanks for the info and kind words. Kern was very clever. This is the only standard tune I can think of that modulates down a half step. If you can send a digital copy of Wyble's arrangement, I'd love to take a look at it (fredfried@comcast.net). BTW- it was good to "see" you last month at Peter's wonderful online concert.
Fred Fried, masterful and beautiful.
Wow, Andy, I just uploaded that about 10 minutes ago. Thanks so much! Would love to see you sometime and do some playing. Best to you and Debra!
Nice groove!
Thanks, Tom!
