BOTM Nov 2018 - Nature Boy

[Nick Wyver]

Before the end of the month I thought I would do a version on soprano. It starts a capella and finishes not.

Nature Boy - Dm Rhys sop V1a.mp3 - Box

Nice one Rhys.

There seems to have been quite a lot of variations in style this month - all to the good. Some jolly nice versions.
Thanks to all who contributed.

The month is nearly over, but there is still time for a last-minute entry, and the thread will remain open for latecomers.

Many thanks to Nick for hosting and to everyone who has contributed.

I found this version by Archie Shepp yesterday, I didn't know he had recorded a version and it was a very nice accidental find.

For those still interested, I just spotted that Podcast from "Repassez-moi l'Standard*..."

* In french it means "Transfer me back to the switchboard" as well as "Play this standard over again".

This is a paraschos neck. 99.9% these are necks made of wood

My favourite version without a doubt, I’m sure it was on post #7 but the link has gone !

 

[BillyGreece]

No doubt Art Pepper's version on alto sax, is a signature-edition of the tune!! He's my favourite sax player, along with Bird and Sonny Stitt!

It's been quite a while since I shared any of my playing on here, so here goes:

Nature Boy as a Bossa on bari. Head and one chorus of solo. Recorded on my ipad with backing from iRealPro, so not the best quality but its so easy to set up.
