“A Time for Love” composed by Johnny Mandel – one of the great ballads by a wonderful composer. Legendary pianist Bill Evans plays a superb version of this song.
A few thoughts on solo playing as featured on this clip:
here´s some more music i wrote for the detective novel...this time a simple 7/8 bass vamp with various themes played by the malletkat and sax.
this will be during a chase in the story...you get the picture?

I've always loved this tune but never learned it because I thought it was so difficult, especially after hearing so many gorgeous versions by Bill Evans. It's not only about playing the chords, but moreover about CONNECTING them and phrasing the melody; always a tremendous challenge on the vibes! So, I started working on it about a month ago, never satisfied with the way I was playing it. (I'm still not, by the way!)
So, here's a work in progress. Comments from the community are welcome!
