"Stella By Starlight" is without question one of the most commonly performed jazz standards today. It was composed by Victor Young for the 1944 film "The Uninvited". It has a very unique harmonic structure, starting out a tritone away from the main key center and gradually working it's way through several unexpected tonalities. The original version from the movie was not in Bb, but most people perform it in Bb now - this is how it's written in most "real books" and I believe that's the key the Chet Baker played it in as well.
This was the second song in our 60+ minute set, coming directly after "My Foolish Heart". The concert venue is a really large hall with a great stage (as you can see in the video). There were about 50 people in the audience, and they were all distanced properly according to the current regulations of 2020. It was a pleasure to play for them.
LET ME PLEASE APOLOGIZE for the sound quality. You can see in the video that I had the Zoom H4n and condenser mics set up to record. However, my power cord was defective and the Zoom shut off in the first 5 minutes of this concert (about an hour before this tune). I was absolutely livid when I realized this because I had spent the entire afternoon testing everything, making sure it all worked... and everything did - until the concert (of course). So what you are actually listening to is the sound from the GoPro cameras - one was attached to the piano, and the other was attached to my vibes. The rattling sound is coming from my vibes... I did some mixing of the two tracks and really tried to get rid of all the annoying background noises. I felt that the concert was too good to throw away just because of the sound problems.. so here it is, warts and all. I can still listen to it and enjoy the fun moments that we had, so hopefully you can too.
As always, thank you for listening! If you enjoyed this video, please subscribe or check out the stuff listed below.
