Dear Beegie: “Are you teaching piano now? 😀 Wherever I go, I feel and hear your music.
I want to drink your music and fall down at your feet in prayer! - How golden are your hands! - Dreamy beauty and longing is your piano playing.
When I hear the sound of your voice, it’s just like your music. Thank you 💋❤🎶🤴

I know this is about Jazz , but this lady could play ANYTHING . I remember her as one of the best country Nashville session back up players. She held her own no problem with the best country musicians of the time.

Harry Warren's "At Last" is a good example of use of the "blue" notes, but George Gershwin really started the trend with Rhapsody in Blue and many of his songs.

Winning the lottery or getting piano lessons from Beegie Adair.....I would have to take the piano lessons! I would get a lot more pleasure out of playing the piano like Beegie does versus any amount of money.

1:24 - that's the moment I knew I can use the Dorian scale over my average 12-bar blues.
