“Flash! Bam! Alakazam!” Vocal jazzers will love the fall-offs, slides, tight harmonies, and rapid fire triplets in Kirby's arrangement of this Great American Songbook standard. Two brief notated solos sound improvised over the hip changes at the turnaround. Recommended listening: study the style with the 1950 recording by Nat King Cole.
SoundPax includes B-flat trumpet, B-flat Tenor Saxophone, Guitar, Bass, and Drumset.

Real deal a cappella jazz writing with great attention paid to phrasing, dynamics, expressive rhythms that sound unmetered, and bringing the emotional words to life. Be prepared to put in the time and feel the satisfaction of singing a lush and lovely ballad. The song has been recorded by a host of artists including Billie Holiday, Doris Day, Aretha Franklin, and Bette Midler, but Kirby's arrangement is inspired by soul artist Donny Hathaway's heart-wrenching performance.
