How To Play Fly Me To The Moon

Listening

1. Frank Sinatra
2. Beegie Adair Trio
3. Bijan Taghavi Trio

1. Of course, ol' Blue Eyes!
2. I remember listening to Beegie's rendition of Fly Me as my first true listening experience of jazz and it dazzled me! She swings hard and takes a relaxed tempo, I recommend this listening for all my beginner jazz students!
3. I always try to put a performance of mine so you can see me practicing what I preach.
