[@chadjariya1108]

Nothing better than listening to this with a nice bottle of wine.

[@kingusmcgee]

Have to give Hoagy Carmichael the highest praise for writing this Melody in '38. Great accompanist on piano, also.

[@gailmichaelwhitesides4533]

I'm certain Agustin Lara, the original composer, would have been flattered by the treatment

& Capitol Records' Johnny Mercer's poignant lyrics

Absolutely great performance👍👍👍😘

[@GenX071Guy]

That pianist...wow!

[@DevonDandy]

Ohhhyes, good singer, nice rendition of this lovely sentimental melody, good bass solo and the drummer is good nice understated touches, and what a joy to watch via a locked off camera position, the same as being sat in the front row with no distracting editing

[@johnwatson2887]

Very elegant performance. Plus -- I know this should be beside the point, but - she is wearing the most beautiful dress I've ever seen!

It's not the pale moon that excites me That thrills and delights me Oh no It's just the nearness of you It isn't your sweet conversation That brings this sensation Oh no It's just the nearness of you When you're in my arms And I feel you so close to me All my wildest dreams come true I need no soft light to enchant me If you'll only grant me The right to hold you ever-so-tight And to feel in the night The nearness of you

[@luzialeao6252]

Que lindo!

[@hiramyawikramasinghe8330]

You sing so beautifully. The band compliments your singing.

[@Slrama888]

"The Nearness Of You" Its not the pale moon that excites me That thrills and delights me, oh no Its just the nearness of you It isnt your sweet conversation That brings this sensation, oh no Its just the nearness of you When youre in my arms and I feel you so close to me All my wildest dreams come true I need no soft lights to enchant me If youll only grant me the right To hold you ever so tight And to feel in the night the nearness of you

[@johnwatson2887]

Wish they had included the verse, which is lovely: Why do I just wither, and forget all resistance When you and your magic pass by? My heart's in a dither, dear, When you're at a distance, But when you are near... Oh my!

[@rjenellwomack4512]

Lovely Performance ~ 🌹I miss the “ Romantic Music” ~ thanks for reintroducing ~ this almost lost Art! ~ @Seoullocks

[@tylerlordhamilton252]

Very professional. I wish they were in beautiful Los Angeles, so I may contribute and collaborate because this is where I con-currently reside. Well, they have the musical chemistry that sells records. Excellent arrangement and jazz all the way. This band is the best with the spirit of Heidi's Golden Age Jazz Quartet. Her voice resonates lovely in her head. Bravo and Grand. Period. Love, Tyler Lord Hamilton

[@tylerlordhamilton252]

Very grand venue and evening dress/gown. Chic gal. Tyler Lord Hamilton

[@heidiraemusic]

Hi Tyler, thank you so much for your kind feedback!! It was really a pleasure to play with these amazing musicians in Shanghai. Now all of us are spread out in different parts of the world, as it goes! Would love to come to LA one day for some jazz collaboration!

[@roberthelms1737]

China?

[@jedbaillie-davies6413]

Needs to phrase the words better. Stops at the end of the musical l phrase instead of continuing the sentence to where it has continuity to convey the sense of the lyrics.

[@heidiraemusic]

Thanks for the feedback Jed, noted :)

[@Syndie702]

Disagree, musical phrasing is more important than lyrics.

[@johnwatson2887]

@@Syndie702 Agreed. melody over lyrics, but the best singers can combine both. (No criticism of THIS singer implied!)

[@tiffsaver]

Average voice, pedestrian arrangement and delivery.
