Product Description

This song was composed in 1930 by John Green for British actress and singer Gertrude Lawrence. It was first performed in the US by Libby Holman in the Broadway revue 'Three's a Crowd'. It was also the them tune for the boxing film noir drama 'Body and Soul' . It has been recorded by multitudes most notably by Frank Sinatra, Coleman Hawkins, Paul Whiteman and was the final recording of Amy Whitehouse as a duet with Tony Bennett.
I started arranging this piece in my trademark stride piano style and then got the idea of doing a Chopin-esque waltz version and alternating the two. It goes through 3 keys at various times - Db major, D major and Eb major with sudden changes in tempo. These are not written in stone and the performer should feel free to pick any tempo they feel comfortable with.
I do not include fingering, pedal or dynamics as no two teachers would agree on these and I prefer to leave it to the individual pianist to decide on such interpretation.
Please note it is a piano solo only and doesn't include other instruments that may feature on my YouTube videos. I write all my arrangements and compositions as piano solos first so they always have a full sound as such.
I hope you have as much fun playing it as I did arranging it. It's a lovely tune and rightly one of the most popular jazz standards.
