#med (Music.Every.Day)

This is video #751 of my video posting project. I have been working on this project since November 2023--learning and posting a video of NEW piano music every. single. day!

Today's piece is "Alright, Okay, You Win" by Sid Wyche & Mayme Watts. This arrangement can be found in Hal Leonard's collection of Jazz Piano Solos in the volume called "Big Band Era". This collection of jazz arrangements was written by Brent Edstrom.

Well, every piece of good music sounds like a conversation to me, and I bet this one has an interesting back story!! I can only imagine what the situation was to bring about this song. The piece was covered by Ella Johnson, The Modernaires, Bill Farrell, and Count Basie, as well as Peggie Lee in 1958.

Paul McCartney sang the lyrics to it while preparing to record a take of the song "You Never Give Me Your Money". I wonder what prompted that? Haha. The recording shows up in the Anniversary edition of Abbey Road.

This piece is a workout (like most of this style for me). It's fun though!

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