A true master of story telling, especially with English lyrics by two of the best in the business, Alan and Marilyn Bergman. Freddy possesses such depth of emotion, intelligent phrasing, class and cool all wrapped up into one. The treat here besides Freddy is a masterful compliment of players. The great Grover Washington Jr. on soprano like we don't usually hear him. Cyrus Chestnut, piano, George Mraz, bass, Yoron Israel, drums, Sanford Allen, Lisa Terry, violins, Eileen Folson, cello, and Al Brown on viola. Just one of the best arrangements and renditions of this song! Arranged by Tom McIntosh
Thank you for sharing this...saw Freddie many times. he had that warmth of expression and completely relaxed with the meaning of the lyric always coming forward.
