Mike Reed plays "Misty" on the Hammond Organ

"Misty" is a sweet jazz standard written in 1954 by pianist Erroll Garner. He composed it as an instrumental in the traditional 32-bar format and recorded it for the album Contrasts (1955). Lyrics were added later by Johnny Burke. It became the signature song of Johnny Mathis, appearing on his 1959 album Heavenly. Erroll Garner was inspired to write "Misty" on a flight from San Francisco to Chicago which passed through a thunderstorm: as the plane descended into O'Hare, Garner looked through the window to see a rainbow glowing through a haze and was moved to begin composing "Misty" on the spot. How he "wrote" it out is an interesting question..... he could not read or write music. God works in mysterious ways..... No mystery as to the way I play it here. Just "Hammondized" for harmonious and melodious pleasure. 3/23/2022. "Life is Good". 😎🎹🌴
