Jeff Franzel - "Days Of WIne And Roses" (Live Studio Session)

Описание: This week on the @thePENYCSessions we bring you master pianist Jeff Franzel's take on the classic Johnny Mercer/Henry Mancini song "Days Of Wine And Roses."

This Academy Award®-winning song from the 1962 film of the same name was likely best known for its recordings by Billy Eckstine (1961) and Andy Williams (1963) but countless artists have recorded it over the years including Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass, Bill Evans, Dick And Dee Dee, Shirley Bassey, Frank Sinatra, Julie London, Perry Como, Wes Montgomery, McCoy Tyner, and Jaco Pastorious among many others.

Mercer's lyric to the song is notable for consisting of just two complex sentences, each of which forms one of the song's two stanzas.

Jeff Franzel is a multi-talented songwriter and composer with over 35 years’ experience in the music business. He began his career as a jazz pianist and toured with many groups, including big band legend Les Brown and The Hues Corporation (Rock The Boat). During that time he accompanied such artists as Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Mel Tormé. Jeff has been a Yamaha artist since 2011, and has recorded 3 solo piano albums and Taken By Surprise with his jazz quintet. For more info please go to www.jeffranzel.com.
