hmmm...is this your homework assignment?  If so, you need to do the work so you'll learn from it:)

I don't know any applications of those polychords.  What's a polychord?

I already did, but he said the car was in the garage and wouldn't be ready before tea-time.

in the song softly, how do u stretch from b to g octave plus and make it sound smooth if u can't stretch that far, if your right hand is busy?  quickly?

John Lewis Version
I have a 'Modern Jazz Quartet' recording of this song that is yet
another take on how beautiful such a simple chart can be.

thank you, thank you
I am grateful that you wrote this section.  It is probably greedy, but more like this would be wonderful.  I'm relatively new to the piano, but was taking group piano lessons from a teacher who played jazz piano.  I wasn't approaching a new song in the step by stop approach that you suggest.  Now I will.  The midi links are also very useful.

This is a great lesson. Lot's of good information here to work with. OUt of curiosity, what are youre views on writing down these sorts of exercises? I have found it helpful to write them out at the different stages and then maybe even write out variations on them, but I have come across people that are strongly opposed to it. Any thoughts?
