Another great post, Roger. Every time I find a favorite on YouTube, it's usually from you! Bless you, my friend - Phil

This is definitely my favourite version of this song. Perfect, perfect... Perfect!

The swing by all here is so effortless, mmmmmmm:-)

Wow - talk about an "up-tempo version" of a smooth jazz standard!

I had no luck at all finding out who wrote this arrangement, but I'll keep on trying. SOMEBODY gots ta know, and the thing just plain blows me away!

Maybe it's just too obvious, and it's just good ol' Mr. Shorter - I'll take that for now, since he just might be up to doing this sort of thing (just for fun!), and the solos follow the usual order for his own tunes: himself, trumpet, piano, drums.

Sound about right, Roger?
