Jazz Ballades Kern, Raksin, Ellington, van Heusen, Green, Carmichael, Rodgers, Haggart, Garner

Arrangements of wellknown Jazz balades by Yury Chugunov. The lyrics for the standards you can google easily. They re all new to me I m normally not listening to Jazz, but I think it s good to start to get to know these pieces. I wanted to include links of good performances of these pieces, but then we have a big list of links, and that s always a bit worrying perhaps. So here s just the list of pieces (all as mentioned arr. Chugunov): Jerome Kern Yesterdays 0:00 David Raksin Laura 1:47 Duke Ellington Sophisticated Lady 3:44 J. van Heusen Here s that rainy day 6:12 Johnny Green Body and Soul 8:03 Hoagy Carmichael The nearness of you 10:50 J. van Heusen Like Someone in Love 13:23 Richard Rodgers My funny Valentine 14:50 Bob Haggart What s New 17:18 Erroll Garner Misty 19:44 Check out the fantastic performance by him (directly on youtube) donations help me to keep investing
