Oscar Peterson plays Greensleeves - audio - jazz - album: fly me to the moon

[pvelectric]

this "Greensleeves" one by peterson is the last straw, i give up; so many unbelievably fantastic sets by oscar peterson on the Tube.

so rather than lennie tristano, Mr. P. I now think is the greatest piano player in modern jazz history.

cool thanks. I've been playing a version in E minor, but this sounds a lot lighter and happier.

[estutzer]

Does anyone know what key this is in?

[pouzarot]

The basic key is A minor, but the progressions pass from minor to major and back, quite modern , considering that tradition has it that this tune was written by Henry VIII at the end of the 16th century.
