This is a great Jazz Standard, with very accessible changes, that has been performed by Jazz Manouche greats like Stochelo Rosenberg and Angelo Debarre, among others. Its inclusion in this year’s Tier 2 repertoire is inspired by Paulus Schäfer and Dominique Paats recording of this waltz, on their CD ‘Rocky’. Once again Paulus and Dominique use a fun, alternate set of changes, which is included along with a more standard set, on our DiJ chart for this tune. Check out the video below to see and hear it!
