One of the famous composition by Cole Porter.
In this my "version" there are many "Changes and Notes" of the melody, that does not exist on the original, even though I've learned that you should never change the melody, at least in the first verses.....this time I ignored the theory :-)

More informations:
"Night and Day" (Jazz Standard) is a popular song by Cole Porter. It was written for the 1932 musical play Gay Divorce, and is perhaps Porter's most popular contribution to the Great American Songbook.
Fred Astaire introduced "Night and Day" on stage, and his recording of the song was a #1 hit. He performed it again in the 1934 film version of the show, renamed The Gay Divorcee, and it became one of his signature pieces. The song itself became an American standard and has been recorded by dozens of artists.
Porter was known to claim that the Islamic call to worship he heard on a trip to Morocco inspired the song.[1]
The song was so associated with Porter that when Hollywood first filmed his life story in 1946, the movie was entitled Night and Day.
"Night and Day" has been recorded many times, notably by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and U2.
Sinatra recorded the song five times; with Axel Stordahl in his first solo session in 1942 and again with him in 1947; with Nelson Riddle in 1956 for A Swingin' Affair!, with Don Costa in 1961 for Sinatra and Strings (considered by many to be the best version)[citation needed], and even a disco version with Joe Beck in 1977.
Fitzgerald's most celebrated recording of the song occurred on her 1956 album Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook. The song was recorded by Ringo Starr in 1970 for its first solo album "Sentimental Journey". It was then recorded in 1982 as a one-off collaboration between Tracey Thorn with student friend Ben Watt as Everything But The Girl; subsequently the duo became a well established pop act.
The song was recorded by U2 in 1990 and appeared on the Red Hot + Blue compilation album. Thomas Anders (of Modern Talking fame) recorded his version in 1997 on the album Live Concert. Rod Stewart recorded a version for his 2004 album Stardust: the Great American Songbook 3. A rendition was recorded by The Temptations and the version is features in and on the soundtrack for the 2000 movie What Women Want.
"Night and Day" also reappeared on the American pop charts in 1967 done by Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66.
In 2004, a version of "Night and Day" was included in the biographical film about Cole Porter, De-Lovely, sung by John Barrowman and Kevin Kline. The song was also recorded in 2005 by Sondre Lerche on his album Duper Sessions. In 2007 it was recorded by Bebel Gilberto with a bossa nova approach on her album Memento.
The Colts Drum and Bugle Corps is using "Night and Day" for their 2008 show. - เพลง
I was recently diagnosed with severe ADHD and today is my first day taking meds for it. My wjole life has been a constsnr barrage of thoughts and clutter in my head and this moment, just now, was the first time in my life i've ever been 100% at peace and I shed teats while listening to this with not a care in my mind. Thank you stranger, for this wonderful memory.
Hope you’re doing good
Dont get the ADHD stigma into your mind, everyone of us has a little bit of these kind of struggles everyday, my suggestion take 2-3 hours everyday cut internet iphone from your life and do just one little thing that makes you smile.
I know it's quite off topic but does anyone know of a good site to stream new series online ?
@Willie Zayn i dunno I'd suggest flixportal. Just google after it:P -alexander
@Alexander Wells thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it !!
I still listen to this 10 years later. What a lovely piece
Thank you so much!
14 listeners were either envious mediocre jazz pianists or just plain mean-spirited....
This is pure heavenly music. Thank you.
There are no words to describe how beautiful this is. I wish people in my high school could appreciate this.
Damn, 11 years ago
Ive been playing drums for 45 years. I am 54 now and play in the Detroit area. I started playing piano a few years ago to expand my musicianship. It has mad a big difference in my drumming being more musical. Your improv is beautiful as well as your touch. If I could start over I would choose piano. Now I still practice drums everyday and have become proficient but I would love to play piano like you. Great job.
I am convinced that it is never too late, because learning a musical instrument should be available for first-line for personal enjoyment, therefore, to give joy to the soul. Then if one wants to learn just to prove to the listener to be a good musician, I think that music then takes a materialist form of listening, so with little or almost nothing of the soul ..... So I say, if you love music and play instruments, do not hesitate, take the liberty to get started right away without stopping age.
You are what a quiet, midnight pub needs. Single man slouched over a double Scotch whiskey at the bar, white-haired bartender drying a wine glass three chairs down, and you on the piano - sitting there and playing your soul out on an old, upright Steinway. Play on, man.
i really love this video. i grew up on this music. My father exposed me to this genre and I love him for it. I have a 17 yr old daughter into hip hop and we have our moments and I would play this for her. I want her to be exposed to all of it.
i am in awe. absolutely fantastic. smooth and elegant. black and white background made it even more settling. perfecta
I probably listen to this everyday, it just cheers me up if i have a bad day.
Gotta love the jazz masters with the flying fingers but this is the best and most satisfying kind of playing. Oh to be able to sit down and play like this. Great stuff.
No it is never too late. My old piano teacher started playing piano at 15 years of age, and managed to get his grade 5 within roughly 6-7 months!! That teacher was awesome too! He played at top hotels including the Ritz, and got an Honours in music.

I've listened to many versions of this song, but this version has a cool and classy feeling.
Thanks for the inspirational response, really appreciate it. Music has been something that has always dragged me in. Perhaps it's my calling, despite being a late bloomer. I've always half-assed majority of things in life to this point. Really want to change that and have something in my life that I can say, "I'm proud of what I achieved."
Posted in 2007! My!
I have been looking for a rendition of Night and Day that feels as good as the version in the movie Now Voyager. That was played as background to a party in the second half of the movie.
This rendition exceeds that. Bravo
Many Thanks!
I'm now 52, and started all over at 49 and never touch a piano during 30 years and you should see what am playing now. My friends aare impress by my improvement.
exactly what im feeling right now. i wanna be lost in new york at night and stumble into a place like this. not sad, just melancholic. just me, alone... with jazz...
listening to this with RAINY MOOD in the background.
I am at my Zen.
Found this when I was 15. Still listening. I remember you gave me feedback on a piano improv I posted. Thank you. So good to see you still here. ❤️
Hi, nice to see you again! Thanks
@@AlfonsoGugliucci good to see you again too
Every time I listen to this I feel like everything on earth stops and I take a sigh of relief and drift into the night sky
inspiration is often hard to find in these times we live in... with that being said thank you.
Che sublime poesia! Grazie Pianistaitaliano per averci offerto questa perla di Cole Porter!!!!
This is extremely relaxing. Not in that cliche way people call jazz relaxing though. It's just so natural, and the sound really puts you at peace.
I started with 29 years and it is making a lot of fun! never to late!
Jazz and Classical demonstrate the same amount of talent and beauty, but in different Genres. Sometimes I wish we could break the boundaries of music and just call it all "Beauty" so there's no imperfection of the Genre, only beauty remains. In a sense, both are amazing because they demonstrate talent and challenges the player to be able to read and hear it right. Playing piano for 2 years and having a musical family, I am knowing of this. Continue with your good works and play on!
Nothing like listening to some amazingly soothing jazz whilst doing homework...ahhh...
I can relax with this music very well.
Thanks! :-)
playing songs like this, improvised, DOES take a lifetime.. beautiful
ciao pianista!
Today I found you on youtube, and I have to confess how glad I got to listen to your awesome piano solos. God bless ya my dear friend! I used to play too, but I haven't practiced for a while now, but listening to a real piano player like you are, made me fell like starting over.
Tchüss!
I love this song, it reminds me of the good times. I like to just kick back outside stare up at the clouds and smoke a cig while listening to it. most relaxing day you could ever have.
only 1 problem with this...it ends. Great music, such a nice piece
BEST night and day i've been listened!
this is a great display that my Cole Porter's favorites will last for all times. I love this.
this could turn away anyones stresses or sorrows. Absolutely love it .
Thank you Terry for sending me this video. It is an amazing piece of music and very smooth played. Thank you for posting Pianistaltaliano
This is excellent...shows great technical ability...some day i'll get my hands to move like that and stop feeling like they're gettin in their own way!!
I just learned to like jazz.
i'm a hard-rocker in general so it's something new for me. its a welcome change to all the strong beats, the hectic guitar solos and those things.
its nice to have something like this to relax in the evening.
just wonderful
beautiful. this has a spot on my piano playlist, along with many of the other jazz pieces you perform. if i feel the stress of the outside world, it's comforting to be able to close off everything for a few moments and sink into my bed to the most relaxing of compositions. thanks for this wonderful interpretation.
Where has this been all my life?!
You can't go wrong with "The Jazz Piano Book by Mark Levine" it is a classic, I'm two years into it and I feel i have just scratched the surface of this great book. While not aimed at a beginner if you have studied harmony you will have no problems.
No matter how old you become you will never stop learning. So it is not to late for you start learning to play and read music.
It relaxes me and makes me think of better things!
Listening to this and sitting on my fire escape, watching the snow fall. Perfect.
those diminished always killing me softly.
a truly beautiful piece of music, it shall be going on my chillout playlist
Very beautiful song ... makes me feel like I am floating ...
Perfektní a jedno z nej...Za tuto volnou improvizaci velmi děkuji!
I so thoroughly enjoyed that...❤
I glad for that! Thank you!!
I've been teaching myself piano for about 3 years now and have tried to learn nothing but classical. A few days ago I decided to take a look into jazz so I typed in "jazz piano" and came across this video. I'm so glad I did, you play this so beautifully and I can only try and hope to be as talented as you someday.
Absolutely the best version of this song I've heard. Harmonically rich, sensitive playing. Wonderful section from 1:24 - 1:40 and the chromatics at 2:25 - 2:31. It just doesn't get any better than this.
Your really good, I've been playing piano since I was six now I'm 15 and to me it's really easy to play when your sad.
Speechless and goosebumbs...I don't think there are any words to say more.
Amazing Jazz pianist - very fluid.
Still learning this by ear, its not easy but fantastic.
Before listening this song I used to hate jazz, now I really appreciate it. Thank you Cole
I'm also a musician. I like this piano jazz music.
You are really GREAT....you Reaharmonizations are really very nice and modern....you are the Best amateur Jazz pianist....here in youtube!....Really wonderfull!
Wonderful.Cole Porter still alive and for ever.
Fantastico, poche volte ho visto suonare il piano con tanta leggerezza.
Your Libertango piano interpretation here was great! Well done! You are one of the best! All the best for You in Munich, MAESTRO!
I like this song, and this was a wonderful interpretation!
***** Many Thanks!

You made me fly away and dream for 5' 03''...something i really love doing and doesnt happen as much as i wish. Thank you!
Sometimes I put a playlist of all your videos Sunday afternoons, the jazz mood makes me peaceful. So good when you worked hard all the week ;) keep it up.

Thank you mate, and thank you for sharing your passion! I needed to brush up my jazz.
Pure awesomeness! I'm speechless and I WILL learn how 2 play dat by sumtime in my lifetime.
I play Piano myself and I like improvising Jazz, but this I what I want to sound like! there is some thing special about the chords and progressions in Jazz and when its played sweet it sounds like a dream, this is exceptional playing! It just chills me out! great stuff PianistaItaliano!
Aw You made me cry. so beautiful..
this is such a relaxed solo. I could just sit here and listen to it. it really calms me down. I love it! wonderful music.
Anyone trying to learn this song, try slowing down the song and carefully decide which keys are being played at a specific time. That's how I learned
love your touch... gentle but nice energy! very sensitive, reminds me of the great McPartland. Thanks for sharing
This is amazing ! Wonderful playing ! awesome , I watched all of your videos...you are obviously blessed ! really touching .
I'm sure I'm not the only one to ask this, but could you please do tutorials, because all the tutorials today are for pop or other only... My biggest wish is to be able to play jazz. You put so much heart into it.
I could sleep listening to your magic songs. Thanks for making such amazing performances, I'm a huge fan.
beyond beautiful
Oh my jesus.....This is amazing.
hey now I got it in my cellphone so I can listen it on the train nice. job thanks
Perfectas melodías, después de un largo día en la oficina
I started playing exactly one year ago at 20 and still love it.
You need to pick an instrument that you absolutely love. I played clarinet, drums, and trumpet before landing on the piano.
In those 12 months, I can play "Never Forget" and "Epilogue/Ghosts and Glass" from Halo, The "Red Army theme" from World At War, "My Heart Will go on " from Titanic, and "River Flows in You" from twilight.
We're talking a couple of hours a week, all self-taught.
If you love it, there is no minimum age.
@PianistaItaliano True right? music is about understanding. When you start to understand a piano, that is when you can play with your heart and it gets fun. That goes for all instruments.
i cried. its so beautiful :')
Wow,such a beautiful melody...
Wow... Simply beautiful. Thank you.
Love this version. I love the subtle changes that create depth to this timeless melody. Thank you so much!
Beautiful.
I love listening to this!
Love it. Fluent and deep.
this is so relaxing
