Great, as usual. And the tune is nice as a waltz. Jazz can always use another waltz.

This song makes me cry a little inside because of how perfect it is

[pbasswil]

It works so well as a waltz that I was second-guessing myself: "Was that actually written in 3 ??" Nope. But the surgeon amputated a beat so brilliantly that it's seamless.

I bet K Jarrett could perform the song's missing beat just as well as the 3 per bar that he kept in this version. :^D

this is the perfect sweetness to recreate the innocence of a child

so deadly serious but so beautiful. just awesome

@Navonodo No, this song originally was in 4/4. See the movie, or go to the column on the right side of this page and click on the Cliff Edwards version. He sang it in the movie and it's in 4/4.

The two other songs are in 3/4, but not this one.

f* yeah - this is not awesome - this is unbelievable !

:-) !

[Navonodo]

to the guy who said it was nice a waltz...you know it was always in 3/4? it's still nice as a jazz waltz, mind you, just like Alice in Wonderland as done by the Bill Evans Trio, or Someday My Prince Will Come as done by the Miles Davis with Bill Evans on piano. There's a history of this...
