Bravo Tyreek!! 👏 👏 👏
Johnny Hartman would be very proud!

This tune is a bear. Even Sinatra put it down and walked away from its complexity. You folks had fun with it. Way cool. Thank you.

[Scopolamine]

Tyreek is a unique and wonderful male vocalist and Emmet reigns supreme on the piano.

[Mabesakald]

Excelente versión, extraordinaria voz y trío. Gracias!

That's right; this is the great Billy Strayhorn; one piece the great Ellington didn't take credit for. Very authentic version and feeling for what Billy had in mind. the jazzy blues while downing those cocktails. Emmet's smile and playing say it all. He really gets authenticity and the spirit of the blues. Nice work by all players. Such restraint with underlying tension building. Strayhorn revealing who he was; Tyreek getting us in the mood. His voice is rich in all registers. Nice falsetto treat at the end. Top shelf stuff. This is what it's about.

Tyreek has a truly gifted voice.

Sensational accompaniment by Emmett.

[JesseBlueEads]

Tyreek is so extraordinary. I think it was right after we had both auditioned at SFCM or something like that, I was about to pack up and walked into a room where he was doing some amazing soloing in a jam; great to hear him with Emmet and co!

Emmet's masterful accompaniment to Tyreek's sumptuous vocal has made my day.

[Whydidtheychangeittohandlesnow]

This is the first time I’m hearing this song. It’s absolutely gorgeous and perfect for my Sunday morning right now.

This is how the song was meant to be sung. Great job.

[connorbrien]

This is such a touching rendition of this depressingly beautiful piece. I say depressing because of the meaning behind the song...

[dotmarker]

So many have interpreted this, Emmet's is breathtaking.

Emmet makes everything look easy. So incredible

[cardanoana]

What a perfect way to start this sunny Sunday morning! Where is Mr. Russell Hall? 😊

[zivapalmer]

Johnny Hartman - Joe Williams kinda vibe. SO good.

[nancyreyes]

I love this song and this wonderful voice and graceful pianist is pure magic!

[martinbreslow]

I just heard Samara Joy's single titled Lush Life which is very good. Tyreek was super.

[DanFeinman-xduf]

Simply beautiful. Tyreek's vocals are Lush, sumptuous and have such a melancholy vibe; so apropos for this classic. Emmett's accompaniment is exquisite..

[arturopg]

incredible rendition of a complex song, written by a then 16 year-old B. Strayhorn. Emmet and the rest do it justice, such deep lyrics and mixed chords. If anyone has time, I also recommend Natalie Cole's version. No one ever mentions that one, and it is also brilliant. Thank you Emmet and Tyreek!!!

This has always been my number one favourite jazz song. And I am not particularly fond of vibrato in this genre. BUT! this is the best rendition I have heard so far! What a voice. What a depth. What a great, loving, silent power… Thank you Emmett, for this and all those other great artists you invite!
