Whisper Not - Benny Golson

#med (Music.Every.Day)

Day 342 of my daily video posting project. I have been working on this project since November 2023--learning and posting a video of new piano music every day!

Today's video is "Whisper Not" by Benny Golson. This arrangement can be found in the collection Jazz Club Piano Solos - Volume 3.

Benny Golson was a jazz saxophonist, composer and arranger. I was sad to see that he had passed away just last month. He played with the likes of Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Earl Bostic and Art Blakey.

This piece has been recorded by many jazz artists. Leonard Feather later added lyrics to the piece. Benny Golson said: "I wrote it in Boston at George Wein's Storyville club when I was with Dizzy Gillespie's big band. I wrote that tune in 20 minutes."

Tune in tomorrow for more of my #music.every.day experiment!
