What a rendition! The voice and piano are as one with great sensitivity in each. This is the sort of performance that brings out the richness and originality of the Strayhorn oeuvre. Beautiful job!
@NunzioAdorato Thank you for your kind words. The voice/piano duo is a very special setting in jazz. My favorite collaborations in this tradition are Ella Fitzgerald/Ellis Larkins, Carmen McRae/George Shearing, and Tony Bennett/Bill Evans. It is clear to me that all these wonderful artists enjoyed working with each other, a prerequisite for any intimate music making. It also helps when both artists feel they are musical partners as compared to the idea of singer and accompanist.
Lovely.
