BOTM BOTM - July 2018 Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered

[Sue]

So many lovely versions of this tune. I looked at the Pal Joey soundtrack as I've never seen the show or film. Lots of great tunes Pal Joey (1957) - Soundtracks - IMDb

Where does the time go ?

To celebrate the first rain I have seen for weeks and weeks, here is an alto version I just recorded. It includes the verse a capella and then uses the Hal Leonard backing track from their excellent Rodgers and Hart book.

Lovely relaxing take @rhysonsax - the perfect antedote to today's fierce weather. The backing track is almost as good as yours 🙂

I have had a great time dusting off my alto and getting to know this tune inside and out. I have listened to Paul Desmond a lot and also Art Pepper. The practice of inserting a "quote" of another song into a solo is something Paul Desmond is noted as doing. At the end having run out of ideas I have taken the practice to outright "plagiarism". 🙂

You were channeling your inner Paul Desmond without a doubt. I enjoyed it very much thank you.
