The Very Thought of You / Isn't it Romantic

Two tunes that segue neatly. A track by Jessica Williams gave me the idea to do this. The intention again is to use these often played jazz standards to demonstrate some jazz piano techniques that might be interesting to other jazz pianists. If you have trouble seeing exactly which notes are played, go to http://web.newsguy.com/dougmck and download the midi. This can be slowed down, or played in a midi playing or notation program to see either the notes played, or the music in standard notation. Vanbasco's Karaoke player (free) has a good keyboard display to watch.
If you have a fast connection and want to see this in high quality video to see the notes clearly (and improved audio), add the letters &fmt=18 straight after the existing internet address line above.

I got your MIDI file a while back; I loved and still love listening to this. I am seriously considering a duet using a similar arrangement. Thank you so much for offering both your talent and take on both songs.

Very nice, can you play these tunes for a vocalist? That would be nice.

What an awesome interpretation of the two songs. Thanks for posting!

Would love to hear you play this on a grand piano! Well done!
