This is driving me nuts! WHAT IS THIS SONG!???

About 5 years ago a friend of mine played this piano accompanyment for me (I recorded it on a midi-enabled acoustic piano). Today, neither of us cant think for the life of us what the song is! Ryan says it might be one of the more obscure Billy Holiday tunes, but if so, I can't think of which one - beautiful chords, though... played brilliantly as always by young jazz pianist Ryan Larson, of Vero Beach, FL. (Listen especially to the bluesy piano solo in the middle section...)

OK, awesome, what that means is: you'll be driving down the street one day, and all of a sudden, the name of the song will flash into your consciousness.... and when that day comes, i would appreciate it if you would pull over, write it down, and email it to me!!! =D

[pignanelli]

@lovefan18 That would be super-cool if you could think about it and tell me later... I've been trying to figure it out for over a year! =oD

@pignanelli have u tried to copy it onto like a music website? i did tht once and it scans the stuff and finds the match so it tells u the artist,cd it can be found on, when the song was made, and stuff like tht

@lovefan18 My friend Ryan Larson is a great local jazz pianist who played this expressly for me - and I recorded it - some years ago. It is a one-off recording, and unlikely to exactly match the chord structure in a database because of the way jazz pianists play fills and chord substitutions, but I will try the iPhone app that names a song - although again, I think that works best with fingerprinting popular (and well-circulated) recordings.

Theme from 'Chess'

by Newell Oler?

Interesting guess! - I doubt seriously that that's it because it's not something that we would think to do, but would love to hear it if you have a link!
