  • =) gorgeous

  • Beautiful ! Love the song ! Thanks for posting this video!

  • Fantastic musician. And a living legend!

  • Mr. Wess beautifully braids his sound with the informed poignancy of the music ... Ronny Whyte, Bob Stewart and Tony Bennet serve up wonderful vocal versions -- each one, perhaps, a valid anthem to a failed romance. Mr. Wess, here, is profund.

  • Amazing post...thanx

  • Was it good? Well, the guys in the band applauded - as well they might. Just beautiful.

  • Eddie Daniels has a wonderful rendition of this, too. Hard to find, but worth it.

  • Frank is fantastic. ♫♫♫♫♫

  • Who wrote this gorgeous tune, anybody?

  • Written by Ronny Whyte/Ettore Stratta

  • Wow!

    That IS news - I know and admire them both.

    I'm delighted to learn this. Thank-you very much.

  • I'm the first viewer:D Thanks for posting, this is really moving ballad...

  • Thank you for leaving the comment. Yes, he is a good player. I also like his flute.

  • Heh, I'm watching this again... He's got such a "haunting" tone... It reminds me of Ben Webster's sound... I really like this!:)

  • @c4rv3r Yeah, I see what you mean about Webster, but to me his sound is closer to Coleman Hawkins' on ballads; both Hawk and Big Ben had a similar breathy tone quality with a lot of subtoning; but Webster put a little extra sweetness on top which I think went over the top in some cases in terms of sentiment. To me, Hawk's approach was more effective--masculine yet still vulnerable (and without getting too sentimental).
