On a long care ride that took me through NYC yesterday I heard an iconic piece of music Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquín Rodrigo II. I couldn't immediately place it, and realized eventually that I was hearing the original and orchestral version of a song that my father had introduced me to: Jim Halls jazz interpretation. The way the song descends into itself after a faithful interpretation of the opening motif is an absolute delight. That it's Ron Carter on bass only deepens my gratitude. Thanks Dad.
Song here.
