    A classic if ever there was one, beautifully revoiced. Really well done, Michael.

    Perhaps my favorite version, done by a different Michael… https://music.apple.com/us/album/my-one-and-only-love/1444171168?i=1444171854

    Thank you @shmotown. You’re right, there have been several great renderings of this one. My fave is the Hartman/Coltrane version. I look forward to listening to yours.

    Everything about the Coltrane + Hartman album is sublime. Such great musicians… https://music.apple.com/us/album/john-coltrane-and-johnny-hartman/1440640282

    Fine music to chill with, impeccably played.

  • DavDav

    Nice one! Beautiful standard. Love all the movement you gave it.

  • Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredrWrlds2ndBstGeoshredr

    One of my favorite standards. Johnny Hartman--what a voice.

  • LinearLinemanLinearLineman

    Thx @MadeofWax @Dav @Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr. It’s all about the melody.

    It’s a humdinger !

    Artfully played, and the bass accompaniment is wholly convincing. I wondered about the staccato of the piano, though - is that a feature of the Ravenscroft voice, or an artistic choice? I found myself wanting the discrete notes to ring out and blend a little more, (more sustain pedal, maybe?) the rhythms to relax and swing a little - but that’s just me. You have to play really, really well before such an observation can even be made, after all… And you do play really, really well! If I could play so much as a single chord convincingly on my own piano I’d be better situated to criticise… :) Backseat driver, signing off.

    Thanks @GeoTony have a beautiful weekend.
    @Svetlovska i think it’s a combination of both. I played an unadorned staccato feel. Very little pedal at times, but Ravenscroft can add to the percussive part. Here’s a remix with Kleverb and other effects. Any difference?

    It’s subtle.Can’t hear much difference in takes 2 and 3. FWIW I think I prefer take 3. Guess it must be more a matter of phrasing than production. Don’t get me wrong - both are good. With repeated listening, they are growing on me.

    Beautiful work mate as usual. You never cease to satisfy my ears. :)

  • LinearLinemanLinearLineman

    Thanks @Svetlovska i guess reverb on Staccato doesn’t turn it into legato.
    Glad you enjoyed it @jwmmakerofmusic, have a good one!

  • yellow_eyezyellow_eyez

    Another great one. (You are making me miss my chops man.after over a year of practically no playing I gotta get practicing again !)

  • LinearLinemanLinearLineman

    That sounds good @yellow_eyez. Thanks for listening!

  • michael_mmichael_m

    It’s great to listen to your interpretations - I have a Real Book that I pick songs from, but mostly play them as-written (just not as good as you, so I have to practice a lot to get any improvisation sounding good). What I’m hearing here is what I aspire to, but it’s still some way off.

  • LinearLinemanLinearLineman

    Thx @michael_m. My teacher, Connie Crothers, taught me how to improvise from a cosmic place, but her exercises were very earthbound. If you haven’t read this essay I wrote several yrs ago it might be of interest to you.

    My teacher is actually a jazz guitarist, but his piano skills are very good. He’s definitely rooted in the Real Book, and a lot of what he teaches is around learning the piece then continuing to learn (and practice , practice, practice) arpeggios and scales and then just see what works and change things up until it feels right. Left hand is very chord-based, but we work on good voice leading and breaking up the chords across each measure.

    I have a feeling you linked to that post before as it seems familiar, but I’ll give it another read through and sit at the piano later with that in mind.

    @michael_m i’ve reposted it several times over the yrs. The good thing about this exercise is that it’s not thinking based. In conjunction with a theory based approach you’re covering all the bases.
