    A beautiful Jazz Standard Tune by Jimmy Van Heusen.
    I changed software, I found on web a really good Free program that is called: Debut Video Capture Software, and this time it seems that the Keys are synchronized well, and it seems that also took all the notes played, however this is much better than the other software that I used in previous videos.
    You can also visit my other new channel:

    There I just start to make some tutorials for Jazz musicians beginners, and more :-)
    Jimmy Van Heusen (January 26, 1913 - February 7, 1990), was an American composer. Writing songs for films and television, he won four Academy Awards for Best Original Song, and an Emmy
    BIOGRAPHY:
    Christened Edward Chester Babcock in Syracuse, New York, he began writing music while at high school, and renamed himself at age 15, to use as his on-air name during a local radio show.
    Studying at Cazenovia Seminary and Syracuse University, he became friends with Jerry Arlen, the younger brother of Harold Arlen. With the elder Arlen's help, Van Heusen wrote songs for the Cotton Club revue, including "Harlem Hospitality."
    He then became a staff pianist for some of the Tin Pan Alley publishers, and wrote "It's the Dreamer in Me" (1938) with lyrics by Tommy Dorsey.
    Collaborating with lyricist Eddie DeLange, on songs such as "Heaven Can Wait", "So Help Me", and "Darn That Dream", his work became more prolific, writing over 60 songs in 1940 alone. It was in 1940 that he teamed up with the lyricist Johnny Burke. Burke and Van Heusen moved to Hollywood writing for stage musicals and films throughout the '40s and early '50s, winning an Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Swinging on a Star" (1944). Their songs were also featured in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949).
    He also worked as a part time test pilot for Lockheed Corporation in World War II.
    Van Heusen then teamed up with lyricist Sammy Cahn. Their three Academy Awards for Best Song were won for "All the Way" (1957) from The Joker Is Wild, "High Hopes" (1959) from A Hole in the Head, and "Call Me Irresponsible" (1963) from Papa's Delicate Condition. Their songs were also featured in Rear Window (1954) and Ocean's Eleven (1960).
    Cahn and Van Heusen also wrote "Love and Marriage" (1955), "To Love and Be Loved", "Come Fly with Me", "Only the Lonely", and "Come Dance with Me" with many of their compositions being the title songs for Frank Sinatra's albums of the late 50's.
    Van Heusen wrote a musical in 1965 entitled Skyscraper, and the 1966 musical Walking Happy. He became an inductee of the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1971.
    Van Heusen retired in the late 1970s, and died in Rancho Mirage, California in 1990, at the age of 77

    Hi xNoirex, the scales that I mostley use are the "major and minor "scales, but often I use that for more embellishment and unless for improvisations.
    However depends on what I'm playing. For example in this song I used almost nothing scales, only a short "whole tone scale" but most use "Voicings"

    Pianistataliano-
    Thanks for welcoming me back. The reason wny I have not been communicating is because I moved to another state and I am moving again to my original state. I should be back in the scheme of things soon.

    Jimmy, is there anywhere you can purchase your sheet music arrangement of Here's That Rainy Day Again? and if so, where?
    Undoubtedly the mellowest and relaxing version ever!

    • @AlfonsoGugliucci
      @AlfonsoGugliucci  Před 6 lety

      Unfortunately there are no sheet music of this arrangement. This is an improvisation based on the "The Real Book" Fifth Edition. However, Thanks for your interest. PS.: I am not " Jimmy" (Van Heusen) he was the composer, and unfortunately, Jimmy left us 1990

    What kind of chord do you play at the end of your improvisations? It's about to end in a regular major and then... something wonderful happens.

    Alfonso, what´s the midi note software you use to show the midi notes as notes on the little keyboard?

  • @AlfonsoGugliucci
    @AlfonsoGugliucci  Před 13 lety

    @linzdancer Thanks,first you need to learn the harmony and its functions, after I think that the choice of the chords is a personal thing, in other words a matter of taste.
