I don't think there's a big conflict between mechanics and feel. We only get one shot at "natural" learning and that's childhood. After that, we learn mechanics until we internalize the rules, we use the rules until we develop a repertoire of musical language, we listen and absorb (like doing research) until we have something to say, and finally we start playing out of feel. I don't think we can play "by feel" stuff we have never worked out the mechanics on unless we learned it maybe by rote somewhere. I find the language learning experience to parallel my jazz experience very closely.
I'm going to drop my tempo to see what I can do with more expressive playing.

Funny, all this talk of slow playing. I listened to Frank Sinatra's version in order to learn the tune. Very up tempo compared to what I now have learned is a more standard take. I guess since I have some extra time maybe I can try a different interpretation.

after listening to a couple other versions I've tried a couple of new things. 1st thing is rubato, which is really hard because it always sounds like taking time to form a voicing or to think about where to go rather than a musical choice. 2nd thing is the melody down lower which i really like. 3rd is keeping an F bass note through the B section until getting to the A- then I went back to playing the roots. 4th thing was trying to split up the A and B sections by playing less harmonic stuff in the A and playing softer.
-
If any version would be considered "canonic" it would have to be Mancini himself conducting his own orchestra. The tempo is about 85 bpm.

And hey: here is HERB ELLIS doing it solo, rubato, lots of fills and stuff, including a blues passage!

The recording and uploading took me hours! And I thought I had it edited but couldn't save it! I need some training!
I was hoping I'd have this memorized before posting to avoid a few errors, but what the heck!! I get nervous as heck when the recording starts!

Paul,
Beautiful playing - and some real nice tone. You seem to be playing the guitar effortlessly.
I just love the clarity of the Lee Ritenour.
