Any idea what version this is based off of? Billie Holiday doesn't sing the melody the way it's transcribed here in any recordings I could find. Especially measures 5 and 6.
Yeah, she changed the melody to most if not all of the songs she sang. I think this is probably based off the original published sheet music. Listen to how much she changes All of Me.
@@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453thanks for that historical context. Yes Billie's melodies never match up with the real book. And thank god for that "limited range" eh?
🙄🙄 He's actually providing alot of historical content that you won't get anywhere else. Just take what you need and discard what you don't. And dont bite the hand that feeds you man.
The analogy of a kaleidoscope to musical styles is dead on and a great delineation of how many of us experience music. Thank you for all you do!
Much appreciated - good luck with your music :)
Thank you so much for this lesson!
Good luck with your music!
So beautiful! Thanks for the video 🎹
Thanks!!!
This is really beautiful and evocative.
Thanks!!!
Beautiful. Also, I'm jealous that you can hit the Eb to G 10th with your 4th and thumb!
Yes, but not in every key!

Do you have the sheet music available online ?
The lead sheet for this tune is in The Real Book, 6th Edition, published by Hal Leonard. Enjoy playing it :)
You look exactly like mark ruffalo
3 minutes intro? why do americans like talking so much - is it because the country is so big and you have to talk al lot to feel relevant?

@@Ayo.Ajisafe I’d have to discard sa lot - not a big fan of JK Rowling either… conversely you could take my comment or leave it?
Would have been nice if you played it first before all the talking.
Or just a little intro
For the rest it's great to hear you play
