I love the slow tempo Bird chooses for this song. Normally it is taken at a much faster tempo. This allows for a more lyrical and laid back approach. Thanks for the post.

@Startac2007 I know I am late but a gentleman by the name of Johnny Greene wrote and composed this. Probably decades before any of us were born, like in the '30s maybe. It's funny how beautiful this simple song is. It's interpreted so many different ways. You should hear Mr. Bird when he does it with strings....as if the start is someone lovely walking towards you...so lovely, so dramatic. : )

One of pianist Duke Jordan's best recorded solo's with Parker. At the group's studio sessions, most of the solo time went to Bird and Miles, for obvious reasons. Duke gets Miles' solo space here and he delivers a really fine statement. Bird later records this tune with Strings and on the1949 Royal Roost club broadcasts. In all three recordings - each at three distinct tempos - he quotes the same phase heard here bet the :44-:56 marks. Regardless of tempo, Bird could fit anything in

This is beautiful. OMG. Mr. Parker also does it on his album with 'Strings". Haunting. The song itself is awesome so I thank Mr. Green for writing one of my all-time favorites and the brilliance if Mr. Parker, Miles Davis and all the others who have done this song great justice as it deserves. I'm happy blue now.

Is it not more fair to say that Bird composed it while playing as he is improvising on the cord changes of OUT OF NOWHERE

Thank you very much dear friend
Hey anyone know who is the author of this beautiful melody and the year that was composed

@Startac2007; Johnny Green composed this tune, lyrics by Edward Heyman. It was composed in 1931, Bing Crosby recording it the same year(:
