Thanks - it's such a great tune to play!

Very well done. This has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it more than forty years ago. When I was a kid I didn't have any friends who played jazz and had never even heard of a fake book (or "Real Book" if they were even around yet) so I just learned songs, including this one, off my Dad's albums. I (unintentionally) ended up harmonizing this one with different chords under the same melody (played the B- C D E part as E- F Gsus4 G: try it, it sounds awesome!). Always been a go-to for me but I need to breathe some fresh twists into it so I'm going over the "Real Book" chart and trying to figure out how I want to play this. Anyway I thought I'd check out some KZbin tutorials to sort of give me a check and balance so I came on your version. I've never really felt like I had what I'll call the B-section down in a way I liked it, and I think seeing how you played this will help. Thanks for sharing!

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

I'm glad this helped, especially with the B section. And believe it or not, I've used those same chords you've used but on the ending to Black Orpheus. It sounds awesome there too!
