I Thought About You - Jimmy Van Heusen & Johnny Mercer

#med (Music.Every.Day)

This is video 475 of my video posting project. I have been working on this project since November 2023--learning and posting a video of new piano music (almost) every day! (I'm counting videos instead of days now!)

Today's piece is "I Thought About You" written by Jimmy Van Heusen & Johnny Mercer. This arrangement can be found in Jazz Piano Solos: Jazz for Lovers.

I have SUCH a hard time with this style of jazz-the stride piano and octave work is a bane to those with small hands. I end up having to roll everything. I would have loved to have been able to play this at a slightly faster pace, but when I tried that, the accuracy would fall apart. If I wasn't doing the video-a-day project, I would definitely spend more time working on this one. It was a pretty difficult one for me to learn because of the jumping around. Very fun arrangement and definitely challenging!

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