    Last night when we were young

    THough the tune was a hit once (I am not Sinatra's fan but this he made a very good version and Tony Bennett did it too)..

    I actually never heard it... first time I heard it a week or so ago in very beautiful and touching solo guitar version by Joel Fass

    You can check it by this link

    SoundClick artist: Joel Fass - Jazz Guitarist/Composer/Arranger


    There's also Kenny Burrell version on nylon string... it's goo. But I love Joel's better.

    Great version by Joel for sure. That's real rubato playing, the likes of which you don't hear enough from guitarists. Rubato, but not completely out of time. Obviously a lot of time spent playing with real musicians.

    and much less of a "standard" but a tune/performance that stunned me 35 years ago when I first heard it, and still does every time I hear it.

    If every song mentioned was also a vocal standard, I must say I've got a lot of listening to do.

    Yes, indeed - one of my favorite torch songs . Frank Sinatra nails this one perfectly and you can't go wrong emulating his timing and phrasing if you plan on playing it as an instrumental.

    I love this tune (and lyric). This was the first standard I learned and I still play (and sing) it. Don't do anything special with it, just love to play it. (Take it a bit more up than Anita O'Day does here, but she gives the lyric its due.)



    Here's Norah Jones playing it with Marian McPartland.

    I love that one. I associate with a very young Sarah Vaughan with Bird and Diz.

    I am really digging Nat King Cole's album "Tell Me All About Yourself". Almost every tune on there is a not so well known standard. My favorites are:

    The Best Thing For You (probably the most played tune on the album)
    Crazy, She Calls Me (really beautiful ballad)
    Dedicated To You
    Until The Real Thing Comes Along

    great arrangements, swinging band, and a master singing some great material. What more can you want?

    Those are some nice tunes. Crazy He Calls Me was covered by Linda Ronstadt on one of her standards albums with Nelson Riddle. If you want to hear standards sung by a great voice, as they were written, that whole series is essential. It's tragic that Linda can no longer sing.

    Well, two Beatles songs that should have been done by these people:

    Stan Getz "Michelle"

    Tom Waits "For No One"

    I just heard this song on Facebook. It does not have vocals but it called "Savage". It is by a British Rock Group from the early sixties (I believe it was 1961). Very pre British Invasion sounding. Twangy Strats and matching suits.

    I always liked Blue Moon, nice bridge.

    Moon River is one I'll medley that with when I play it.

    If Ever I Would Leave You
    ...

    Those are some tunes I really enjoy playing that I can never call at a jam, but for those who learn them, they're great to play.

    I love all three of those. "If Ever..." is a long form, but fun to play, works well as a medium swing tune.

    I rediscovered A World Without Love, originally by Peter and Gordon (actually, a Paul McCartney tune).

    You can even swing it, and it would be in OK taste. Planning to try it on some gig...
