I have a wonderful Mother-In-Law and her name is Jean so I thought I would do this for her. Also, last Saturday I played with a small group and I was impressed with the way the keyboard player played it so that’s another reason to do it. It starts with “My Cup Runneth Over” and the “Jean” section takes over. At the third quarter of the piece, the two are played at the same time. You may choose to play it faster but I thought it would give the resolutional chords more time to resolve at this tempo. Let me know which way you think it should be played. I’d be interested to know others opinions.
