Thanks, Paul, always great content and insight beyond the theory of it all. That insight from experience is valuable and appreciated.

very interesting video thank you very much. it's a shame you didn't continue recording the improv to give us ideas

[@vincewizz8534]

Thank you so much for that clear analysis! It also clarifies many other standards that use those unresolved 2 5 … Thank you!

Not an easy standard to analyze, yet you did it 👍Great job on a great song. Keep it up 🙂

Thanks very much!

[@WillisWills]

This is excellent, as are all of your tutorials, and deserves many more views! I wonder if you would consider a tutorial on Tadd Dameron's 'If You Could See Me Now'? I don't believe a tutorial exists on youtube yet and I think it's a fairly popular tune.

[@TheJazzPursuit]

Thanks very much! And great idea, I love that tune!

[@mothra87]

Some of why this song is so unusual can be understood in that it was written as a theme song for a ghost movie.
