Body and Soul is a popular song written in 1930 by Edward Heyman, Robert Sour, Frank Eyton and Johnny Green. Rising quickly to popularity, Libby Holman introduced it in the revue Three's a Crowd and it was used as the theme to the 1947 film, Body and Soul.[1] Like many pop songs of the time, it became a jazz standard, with hundreds of versions performed and recorded by dozens of artists.
Last month I saw the original movie on cable TV. This piece was rendered by a choir. Wow, how different and simply beautiful you have made this into. I'm very, very impressed. You are gifted, thank you.

The title should be "Out of Body and Soul" improvisation using the "out sound".

This is "outside playing" as its best! I would say this is the modern jazz standard! Not many on youtube can do this!
