Moonlight in Vermont

Back

Pretty tune...love the Sinatra version. One of the swingest versions is by Mulgrew Miller on the Contemporary Piano Ensemble album 'Four Pianos for Phineas'. He is a perfect blend of taste, space and light virtuosity. Check out the block chords he does! Phineas also does a lovely version on While My Lady Sleeps which is an album featuring him with strings. James Williams told me that Phineas just turned up at the studio and sight-read all the arrangements with no prior practice. After every tune they did, the orchestra tapped their bows on the music stands and have him a standing ovation...A sign that there were in the presence of a genius. Anyway, hope you like my version - its as subtle as I could make it. :-)
