Title: Eubie Blake: I'm just wild about Harry ( piano transcription ). View count: 168 Rating: 4.857143 (7 ratings) Description: This arrangement comes from book of anonymous piano transcriptions of standards: "The Best in Broadway Standards: Piano Solos" - published by Warner Bros. in 1991, and found by me recently in a charity shop. Unlike many such books these pieces are not mere reductions of the published piano/vocal arrangements, but independent arrangements without chord symbols.. This quietly understated 1990 arrangement is of a popular song by Eubie Blake (1887-1983) which featured in the 1921 Broadway show 'Shuffle Along' - the first such with an all-African American cast. It was also Harry Truman's 1946 campaign song. This transcription looks back to the original waltz-time version and not the later foxtrot arrangement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk Tags: piano, popular, us, standard, american, Author: PSearPianist |
