Don is one of my biggest musical influences, along with Herbie. I am so amazed by Don's voice every time I hear him, but it's also the same with his piano playing. He clearly had all his chops down when he recorded this classic album, but what makes him stand apart from nearly every other pianist is how lyrical he is. Don sings through the piano man! What strikes me about Don's playing in this track, is how hip his voicings are - loads of bunched notes in the LH. It was a stroke of genius to do a scat solo along with the piano; one of those things that was just perfectly judged - I have no idea whether this was Don's original idea or an idea that came up during recording / production. I didn't quite nail the phrasing throughout the solo (along with the singer), but I tried really hard! I've had quite a few people ask me to do more transcriptions of Don's music - 'Holding You, Loving You' is in the pipeline! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one for now; most importantly, listening to Don's album inspires me to keep trying to write my own music. Please go and support Don and the other great musicians he works with, by buying his work. Everybody should own a copy of his 1982 LP, whether it's on vinyl, CD or from iTunes!
