"Gran Torino" (Solo Piano)

I finally saw Clint Eastwood's "Gran Torino" last night. While I have some issues with the film, I really liked the main musical theme, so I decided to work up a quick version of it. I highly recommend Jamie Cullum's excellent recording of this piece.

I have uploaded a simple lead sheet for this piece on Scribd: http://www.scribd.com/doc/25350826/Gran-Torino . Enjoy working with the piece! I'd love to hear your versions of this great tune.

UPDATE: I see that there is now a "proper" piece of sheet music for this song, which is available here: http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtdVPE.asp?ppn=mn0078956 .

Great movie...I'm an Eastwood fan from way back--him as an actor but also musician. Thanks sharing this lovely piece.

"Gentle now the tender breeze blows

whispers through my Gran Torino

whistling another tired song"

Superb rendition of this beautiful tune. While listening to this I remember Walt´s labrador laying under the porch, whimpering, for his master won´t never come back. It´s like it conveys the life through its path, smouldering, spending each second that passes by.

I have copied the whole sheet, let´s hope that more renditions of this tune will emerge, just I wished I could play it so stylish as you do. My most sincere congratulations
