Isn't it wonderful when the Human Spirit shines through? It's great when the combination of words and notes is combined with Inspiration and produces things like this. This is what LIVE JAZZ performances are and why live jazz should be supported. It's not someone standing on the sidewalk with a battery powered black box that sounds like the Tonight Show band.
Thank you for recognizing and appreciating that this an interpretation of the Original. The more traditional performance is found with Joni James (found on and with Mr Itscalang Posts).
I want to thank You, Itscalang, and others that have made this Cal Poly Jazz Band's Highest Rated video to date (over 5 ratings) and fastest to 500 views (should do it this week).
Considering that this video is not from a Big Jazz Festival (like the UNC Greeley Festival, CO) or have a Big Celebrity Artist draw (like Bill Churchville, Stockton Helbing, Jeff Clayton, etc.) it is an example of GRASSROOTS GROWTH.
Again, I want to thank Itscalang and the Many Others that continue to make this Video one of the highest viewed Cal Poly Jazz Band videos WITHOUT one of the Big Stars like Jamie Findlay, Jeff Clayton, Stockton Helbing, Zac Matthews, or from one of the Big Jazz Festivals like the UNC Greeley Colorado. AGAIN, an example of Video of the PEOPLE, for the PEOPLE.

Excellent performance. I love Ms. Brown's voice. Johnny Mercer's lyrics are jazz oriented and fit well with this nice arrangement.
