My Ship - (Ira Gershwin and Kurt Weill) - jazz piano lesson

[MALP1231]

Very pretty arrangement!

I loved Doug's version of MY SHIP, and used it as an accompaniment to my singing of the song. At Doug's suggestion I posted this version above. Hope all of you who love this beautiful song enjoy! - Terry (terrynyc)

A wonderful laid-back playing of this great standard. Congrats to you and thanks to You Tube.

Fab!

This is one of the greatest songs ever written, IMHO--enormously poignant music and even more poignant lyrics...very nice version of it here, although I have yet to hear the ultimate, the version that gets out of it everything that it has in it.

[Eivob]

Margery Cohen you've tried?

[harveyardman]

Haven't heard her version, although I've figured out that it's on the Berlin to Broadway with Weil album. Trying to find it on line so I can hear it. Thanks for the suggestion!

Are you on SLSK? I'll hook ya up ^.^

@harveyardman: ultimate versions only ever exist in the imagination. Who's ever seen the ultimate performance of 'The Cherry Orchard'?

[harveyardman]

@RHutton2710 -- That's certainly an interesting thought...but I'm not sure it's correct. After all, Gene Kelly singing and dancing "Singing in the Rain" is the ultimate version. It is unimprovable, I think. But now we're getting into Plato's territory. I think he was the guy who said that images of perfection existed in the mind--but it's been a long time since Philosophy 101.

Great video. Nice animations. Will you be interested in piano tutorials? I have many on my channel.

Brillhant!

[urbster1]

Thanks, this is great! I was wondering if in a future lesson you could cover some of the voicings you use and how they resolve/voice lead into each other? This is something I'd like to work on. Thank you again for the great lessons as always!

[Lot2learn]

I'd say the "file import" was a complete success!

Terrific, indeed. ;-)

[RainMan34]

This was just what I NEEDED to hear. Thanks for the upload

[mindbodylightsound10]

Good choice. This really is one of the most excellent jazz songs that you never hear.

[joeholtsnotes]

Great, as always! Interesting the juxtaposition of the solo track with the "bass player". On occasion, an inadvertent reference to Basie, perhaps (stride vs bass) :)
