As most jazz officianado's know by now. composer Billy Strayhorn was only 16 when he penned this great standard. One begs the question, how on earth did he conjure up those lyrics? What life experience could he have drawn from? Just another great story from jazz lore to tell future generations! Natalie's delivery is pure magic and is raised to even greater heights with Johnny Mandel's sweeping string arrangement as backing. I'm sure Billy would have been proud.

Beautiful, simply beautiful. This song takes me back to Cafe 290 in Atlanta with a glass of bourbon and a cigar with a beautiful intelligent woman beside me. Mmmmm.

i studied jazz music, and i once sang this song on my exam, i got an 8,5 wich is a pretty high score :) but it just feels like i wrote this song .. great lyrics! this is a nice version, but not very original. i mean, its to 'original' , she could have made it more her own. but kuddo's to her =D

@SantaElisa I'm wondering if you've heard her dads version of this song. I heard his version first which was in the mid 1980's. My grandma was a jazz junkie to the max, lol. Anyway..., her version is definitely original compared to her dads. The songs "Smile" and "That Sunday, That Summer", just to name a few more I like her versions of those much better than her dads.

Wow, what a great "modern" version of this classic. Amazingly intimate - I feel like I'm all alone in an underground jazz bar... in a good way. :-)
