about

“Auld Lang Syne” is not a song I’ve played often, but it’s a beautiful melody and I wanted to try something new for the album, something that I could approach with fresh eyes. I opted for a simple treatment of the melody, rubato, with a few reharmonizations here and there and a focus on moving inner voices. As it’s a relatively slow song, I take one time through the head, a brief solo—just a chorus and a half played in the same style of the melody—and then come back in with the head out at the bridge. This track is short and sweet, and I think it provides a nice contrast to the other three longer, more complex arrangements on the album.
