Stardust! without a doubt! Maybe "Embraceable You" a distant second? Wait, would "Danny Boy" count? If so, that's My number 2.

I just wanted to say that I love this thread. It's been an occasion for me to learn some new, beautiful ballads, and to revisit some old favorites I haven't looked at in ages. Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions.

Wanted to resurrect this old thread to say how much I've enjoyed playing Ellington's "Warm Valley" lately. Written as a vehicle for the great Johnny Hodges, I fell in love with it because of Ellington's recording on "Money Jungle."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uiAN4_8ihw
On my lead sheet for the tune, I have written up at the top, "Take It To Church!!" Yeah. Spiritual.

One more, the entire album by Roy Hargrove, Moment to Moment. Do yourself a favor and listen. That is some smooth playing on some great arrangments.

"Like Soneone in Love"
I always really enjoy playing it. Such a pretty melody.
-Bill Evans solo recording is one of my favorite recordings of it.
-Chet Baker's recording is my favorite vocal recording |

over the rainbow. nice enough tune on its own, it is emotionally devastating as time moves on. it encapsulates the spirit of prewar america. yip harburg harold arlen and so forth. you can take the jew out of the shtetl but you can't take the shtetl out of the jew. no matter. the raw emotional message had broad appeal.
thanks for this thread. |

I'm working on September Song, It Never Entered My Mind, and My Funny Valentine. Just purchased the Chet Baker Collection transcriptions.Enjoying it.
Just got off of a stint of Latin jazz. Desafinado, The Girl from Ipanema and One note Samba. My instructor is keeping it interesting. |

Stardust. I've never heard a bad version. Its one of the sweetest songs ever written. I would like to hear Louis Dowdeswell's version someday.

I Remember Clifford, Lee Morgan, Roy Hargrove, Arturo Sandoval
Stardust especially by Clark Terry
Recently I have been loving In Your Quiet Place by Keith Jarrett and played by Gary Burton.
There are so many great ones.
Somewhere over the Rainbow always gives me goosebumps. Even that version on the Theremin that is on YouTube.
