I think that the Stan Getz kenny Barron version is the best of this timeless classic, what do you guys think? Kenny Barron's Technique and facility with this song is amazing. To be honest I don't even think Oscar could play this song as well as kenny... JV'

Well, Kenny is one of my all-time favs. Is that on "People Time"?

I don't know this particular version. But I discover an album of Stan Getz/Kenny Barron from a friend of mine which plays tenor saxophone. I like their sound. We tried to play "Voyage", a very beautiful theme.

Yeah is on people time, that particular version was what got me into playing more solo piano, kennys solo is so good, it sounds like he has 3 hands!

Oh btw the piano solo starts right @ 3:27. And its out of this world too! I didn't know he could play like this, he's a superb virtuoso! JV'

He is a pianist's pianist. He has great control, like a classical player.
