It's hard to hear the words, so I can't say whether they're good or bad, but generally jazz lyrics are nothing special. She has a beautiful voice, though, and I do appreciate the attempt to make such a variation on the song. However, the bassist is definitely not living up to this piece, and I'm confused by the cuts to still shots of random studio sessions.
a nice effort to interpret a zawinul classic, however, the snare is too loud, the camera editing is off-time (when we need focus, it's not there) and those lyrics, oh baby.... why do female vocalists always need to write those damn bad ass lyrics to instrumentals? shame!
Great song, and nice rendition! Also check out the Birds of Flame version of this classic on you tube:

beautiful vocals a few adjustments here and there but what a challenge this is for a vocalist.
Nice comforting sultry voice
I agree about the loud snare not so great.

the singfer misses the clean long tones.
she has a strong voice but adjusts from a quarter tone down to the tone intended
some chords were missing herer and there but nice piano.
And personally i dont like hard snare hitting on a very delicate piece of music.

Sorry, but some songs are simply conceived and meant to be instrumental!
Adding any kind of lyrics to such a beautifully profound melody is an abomination to start with!!
