Ástor Piazzolla spent most of his childhood with his family in New York City, where he was exposed to both jazz and the music of JS Bach at an early age. While there, he acquired fluency in four languages: Spanish, English, French, and Italian. He began to play the bandoneon after his father, nostalgic for his homeland, spotted one in a New York pawn shop.

Here my version of this beautiful Tune. The first time I heard this song from Bill Evans was played in “A”, so I tried in the same tonality. “My Foolish Heart” is an Academy Award-nominated popular song that was published in 1949. The music was written by Victor Young and the lyrics by Ned Washington. The song was introduced by the singer Martha Mears in the 1949 film of the same name. The song failed to escape critics’ general laceration of the film; Time wrote in its review that “nothing offsets the blight of such tear-splashed excesses as the bloop-bleep-bloop of a sentimental ballad on the sound track.”[1] Nevertheless, the song was nominated for an Oscar, losing out to “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” by Frank Loesser. The song was also a popular success, with two recordings of the song listed among the top 30 on the Billboard charts in 1950. Gordon Jenkins’s recording of “My Foolish Heart” reached #22 and Billy Eckstine’s version reached #28. Later recordings were made of this standard by numerous artists, including Bill Evans, Joe Williams with George Shearing, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Carmen mcrae, Astrud Gilberto and Mel Tormé. More recently, “My Foolish Heart” has been covered by pianists Liz Story and Keith Jarrett, guitarists John mclaughlin and John Abercrombie, Charlie Haden’s Quartet West, singers Kurt Elling, Al Jarreau, Jane Monheit and Ann Hampton Callaway, and a capella quartet The Idea of North. The song also featured in “The Body in the …

It was introduced by Libby Holman in the revue Three’s A Crowd and used as a soundtrack theme in the 1947 film named for the song. “Body and Soul” became a jazz standard, with hundreds of versions performed and recorded by dozens of artists. The most famous of these is the take recorded by Coleman Hawkins and His Orchestra on October 11, 1939 at their only recording session for Bluebird, a subsidiary of RCA Victor. Hawkins’ solo on this take is considered to be “one of the finest examples of pure, spontaneous creative artistry in the history of jazz.”[citation needed] It was one of the first straight jazz records (as against swing) to become a commercial hit. This was unusual, as the song’s melody is never directly stated in the recording; saxophonist Hawkins two-choruses’ worth of improvisation on the tune’s chord progression constitute almost the entire take.[1] In 2004, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the …
