Today, Chaam let us know they liked "In the Autum Years" well enough to add it to their curator effort. https://x.com/Chaam35445192jh/status/1854220503885787514

Maybe you will like it too. A wedding song for sure. We hope you check it out.

Recently, Edna came across this cherished family heirloom.

You can see the date, Sept. 4, 1953 (I was born July 7, 1954.) I'll say what my dad used to say often: "Go figure."

Anyway, the dedication reads:

"This song I dedicate to my wife, my love. The only song I've written that expresses my feelings. My love for you shall always be an April love. Your husband, forever. Charles."

In the second picture, you can see the other side of the dedication, which is a leadsheet to "In the Autumn Years."

Charles and Tonie were married for seventy years.

Now, over seventy years after 1953, ITAY is released for the first time. Over all of that time, there was no one to keep Nat King Cole's promise to sing ITAY.

However, you can't keep a great work of art under wraps forever. The best SMP could do was make Charles's best song the title track to thirteen more of his melodies and then let the solo piano do the singing for us in the below-linked Youtube lyric video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXl3KGfREZo

While it is very likely SMP's presentation of ITAY can be outdone, BMI-awarding-winning Charles's writing will always remain unvanquished.

May the similarly great songs of the Swing Era get good and comfortable on the fine art of music stage they are now transitioning to. And may there soon be a better recording of ITAY than what SMP has brought forward.

Unbelievably, our 1-time, best-ever promo!

Soaring Music Publication has just released its first Lyric video.

The title track to the album "In the Autumn Years" has been set to a collage of magnificent fall images with a trace of animation at the end.

The words to this unbelievably good song present themselves in a timely manner during the rubato first course and reappear during the tag ending of the in-tempo second chorus.

All in all, the production enables one to spend five minutes immersed in a work of fine art where creation takes center stage and steals the show. My, how the colors of fall are a sight to behold...

However, the release of the above-described lyric video is only part of today's exciting news. The lyric-video release event has been combined with an "In the Autumn Years" ALBUM DOWNLOAD SALE!

After you watch the lyric video, you can read about how to own the whole album (along with 3 PDFs) for very little money. If you want to hear the whole album, the only way is to own it.

Dear Friends of SMP,

Earlier this week, the title track from the album "In the Autumn Years" was released worldwide.

The genre of the album, "In the Autumn Years," is jazz-pop with classical-music influences:

jazz - the playing is spontaneous and improvised
pop - the melodies are like so many that earned millions
classical - at times, the solo-piano music suggests the writing
of Beethoven, Chopin, and others.

The song "In the Autumn Years" was in the file of Nat King Cole to be recorded, but he passed on before it happened. 70 years later, we finally have this beautiful instrumental rendering of the melody from the song "In the Autumn Years."

It begins with some impressionism and then presents the first chorus of the song, rubato. There's a small, in-tempo interlude that enables the in-tempo second chorus, which is lightly swung. The ending is big, with hints of Liszt and Roger Williams!

In his review of the album "In the Autumn Years" (also published earlier this week), a well-known jazz journalist, C. Michael Bailey, related that within the album, one could hear,

"a touch of Art Tatum playing Fats Waller,"

and that the,

"piano method recalls Thelonious Monk performing solo with
implied stride elements in nearly every performance."

If all of this appeals to you, then you should love listening to the title track from "In the Autumn Years."

To hear it, you can use a button for Spotify, Apple Music, iMusic, Amazon Music, Pandora, or Deezer by clicking on the following URL:

If your favorite music-listening platform is different than the ones mentioned above, just go there. Chances are you will be able to hear "In the Autumn Years" there.

"In the Autumn Years" won Song of the Day on the All About Jazz website. You can check that out (once you get there, scroll down) by clicking the following URL:

Thanks in advance for listening to what we think is a very special recording.

Enjoy! 🙂

Dear Family and Friends,

July 15th will be the release date for Soaring's new solo piano album, "In the Autumn Years."

A favorable review of "In the Autumn Years" by a major jazz website will appear the same day.

Last night, Soaring held its first listening party (Zoom). Those present enjoyed what they heard.

There is no charge to attend our listening parties. They will occur up until July 15th (the release date of "In the Autumn Years"). The main reason for the listening party is for you to hear a few tracks from beginning to end (which is a very different listening experience than hearing the linked-below free album preview).

I will do my best to accommodate all who want to attend an "In the Autumn Years" listening party. If you want to be part of a listening party, please contact me with the first good time and date you can attend by clicking on the following URL:
