Pretty tune...love the Sinatra version. One of the swingest versions is by Mulgrew Miller on the Contemporary Piano Ensemble album 'Four Pianos for Phineas'. He is a perfect blend of taste, space and light virtuosity. Check out the block chords he does!

James Williams told me that Phineas just turned up at the studio and sight-read all the arrangements with no prior practice. After every ...
