My first encounter with this song came when a friend of mine showed me Blossom Dearie’s recording of it. Blossom Dearie is one of my favorite artists mainly because of her repertoire choices. She was the first to record a lot of Cy Coleman’s compositions. She recorded and performed many songs that are uncommon, but have lyrics that tell stories and evoke scenes that take the listener into nature. When I first heard this song I was single in NYC longing to find love. When I heard the bridge section, I cried, feeling that it was the story of my life. My solo piano version was recorded on a gorgeous Steinway grand at Sear Sound in Manhattan. I gave myself an hour at the piano with the mics and cameras rolling to let loose and play whatever came to mind. A lot of free improvisation ensued, and this song came right out of that impromptu free play. After listening to every version I could find I discovered on Tony Bennett’s version that there is a very short verse, bringing us right into Manhattan (where I was living when I first heard the original version by Blossom)! I also discovered that all the versions I found were very straight ahead utilizing acoustic instruments and I wanted to add a little tinge of modernity by recording it on my Nord. I added drive to the electric piano sound as the track went on to add to the yearning effect…yearning for love and striving for hope despite the feelings of desperation to find true love.

"Spring Is Here" by Rodgers and Hart Hello! Thank you for watching my video! I find this song to be very sad and powerfully evocative of the feeling of a lost love. I share this today in honor of my Mother, Kathie Kanouse Green, whom I miss dearly, every day. The loss of our ability to spend Mother's Day together physically is what prompted me to share my rendition of this piece today. I feel very fortunate to have a beautiful relationship with her still, even if only in my dreams, and am eternally grateful for the love that we shared on this planet. Without her love and endless support there is NO WAY I'd be going out on this limb and attempting to be the musician and artist that I am today. If your mother is physically on this planet, please hug her and make her feel special, or at least give her a call today! Thank you to all the mother's who have done their part to make our world a beautiful place! Love you Mommy, miss you so much, this one is for you, my bfffffl xo More? www.kellygreenpiano.com
