Mary Lou Williams wrote a number of warm, intimate, beautiful waltzes, this is one of them. She is reputed to have been offered marriage by Jack Teagarden and Bud Powell and turned down both of them. How many of us could say that?
And here's my absolute favorite waltz in any genre and for all time.
With Don Byas
And my favorite version of it, incredibly passionate.
