@pianoplaylist They are not obtrusive, but anybody with some practice can arpeggiate over chord tones, one after each other from begining to end. But, have they really something to say? I'll try to upload the Bill Evans version one of this days but check the Hank Jones version, it's completely inspired in Bill Evans.

BTW, Michel Legrands version is also overloaded with arpeggios. He destroys his own song!!! Legrand has been always an inspired composer but not very subtile jazzman.

@dragontooth81 Check the Hank Jones version, is his last recording and uploaded in YT: Completely inspired in Bill Evans 75 version. Not a single arpeggio, grabs all the feeling of the song and the film

@noidelaplatja I didn't hear any big, hairy, ol' obtrusive arpeggios in this piece. I thought the ones he added were well-placed, not overly done, and not an excessive amount of them. Maybe someone can share Bill Evans's Summer of '42 with us. His jazz is soothing.

@dragontooth81 I can't find it either and I used different search engines. Since Google owns YT, they probably don't return results for YT's biggest competitors. Bill Evans plays from the soul. His music is simple and very heartfelt. I go for the more spectacularly dazzling style. To each his or her own, I guess. Cheers to all.

@noidelaplatja Except, I cant find a Bill Evans verson of this on youtube

@noidelaplatja This version wasnt that bad, but I know what you mean... People like to prove something and ruin songs by running up and down the keyboard like a jack rabbit on crack. With a song like this, less is more and simplicity wins every time. Its a simple, romantic tune and should be simply played... I'm looking for a nice version of this piece to play but this one aint it.. I will check out Bill Evans next.. thanks

This is exactly what would make me HATE MUSIC, these kind of players "Liberace style", destroying songs with all those arppeggios up and down the keyboard constantly. Makes you think how they can sell millions of copies. Are people deaf??

Listen Bill Evans version and music turns to be lovely.
