Somewhere Over the Rainbow -- piano solo

I thought I would throw my hat in the ring with Somewhere Over the Rainbow. This iconic Harold Arlen tune has been done many different ways. The challenge for me is to find something new in something very familiar. Of course, Jarrett's performance is foundational. I believe nobody did it better than Judy Garland herself. She captured perfectly a sense of reflective hopefulness and a yearning for something better. She produced one of the purest and most true performances ever recorded.

Magnifiques harmonies et très intéressantes, même si personnellement je préfère la version de Jarrett, plus sobre et aussi au niveau émotions. Mais, très très intéressant votre version harmoniquement parlant.

@Passageredenotes je préfère la version de Jarrett aussi. :-)

Dear 7Note guy: You're becoming a problem & an obsession. though not always in that order. Every time I have to leave for work, YouTube feeds me one of your beautiful piano solo arrangements!! I tell you, the computer guys are trying to program us, but they won't get me! There's more, but I'm nearly late for work and have to leave. Wait! Is that LAURA I hear you playing? OMG, I need to learn that bridge! I'll have to call in late for work. Don't let the computer guys get you, 7Note guy!
