Miscellanies

My version of the rather melancholy yet inspirational tune from Snow Patrol.

When I Dream

Will It Go Round In Circles?

My take on the one and only George Harrison.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I Wish

Everything's Alright

The song was written by Micheal Legrand and first appeared in the 1969 movie "The Happy Ending". I arranged this for a saxophone quintet and added a counter melody which is heard throughout most of the piece. Thank you for listening please like and follow and leave me a comment.

What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life

"......a place or time I Was and still may be Someone Else...."

The song, written by Jeffrey J Allison in 2022,  begins with alto sax introducing the main theme then a duet with tenor and alto introducing a second melody followed by a Big Band feel and soprano playing a third melody giving it a fun ending.

I Was Someone Else

Dedicated to Cheryl O.

The song was written in 1962 by Antonio Carlos. This Brazilian bossa nova was a worldwide hit in the mid-1960s and won a Grammy for Record of the Year in 1965. It is believed to be the second most recorded pop song in history.
I was fortunate again to use the incredible talent of Patrick Piper to sing this classic basso nova not only in English but a very special verse in Portuguese as well. Let me know your thoughts in the comments and please like and follow. Thank you for listening.

Olha que coisa mais linda        
Mais cheia de graça
É ela menina
Que vem e que passa
Seu doce balanço, a caminho do mar
 
Moça do corpo dourado
Do sol de Ipanema
O seu balançado é mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar
 
Ah, porque estou tão sozinho
Ah, porque tudo é tão triste
Ah, a beleza que existe
A beleza que não é só minha
Que também passa sozinha
 
Ah, se ela soubesse
Que quando ela passa
O mundo inteirinho se enche de graça
E fica mais lindo
por causa do amor
