Hello Folks !
@nigeld was kind enough to offer me the choice of Ballad of the Month for April.
There are so many Jazz ballads I truly love, but I actually have chosen a song which seems to have been covered quite rarely; and one which I had hoped someday to actually arrange into a small combo ballad myself......"Beautiful Things" ....from the movie/play "Dr. Dolittle" (performed in the film by Anthony Newly).
Now...interesting thing here is we were both debating as to whether this should actually be a BOTM or SOTM...simply because while the original recordings seem to be ballad-esque, when actually put to a metronome they are somewhat faster tempo'd than they initially seem.
So, @nigeld was kind enough to produce & provide backing tracks at 2 different tempos...so the choice is yours, or try both. 😎
