Roy Futaba Quartet Plays Standards
"Tenderly"
(by Walter Gross and lyrics by Jack Lawrence, 1946))
Noah MacNeil - Piano
Ale Gressel - bass
Goh Izawa - drums
Roy Futaba - saxophone
This is the song that I have been wanting to feature to internalize an authentic groove and develop rhythmical integrities based on the lyrics. Instead of covering the song along with a backing track, I arranged it based on Bobby Caldwell's original to retain the actual vibe and groove he created on the record, and I added a little bit of my own essence. I hope you like it.
