> My Foolish Heart<\/a> (MP3 time 3:34) – as performed by Gio Escueta (vocals) and Geoff Peters (piano)<\/p>\n

This tune is a popular jazz standard that has been recorded by many jazz greats. Wikipedia has more info (click here)<\/a>; here is a brief excerpt:<\/p>\n

Gordon Jenkins’s recording of “My Foolish Heart” reached the top ten on the charts. However, Billy Eckstine’s version became a million seller, spending 19 weeks on the charts and peaking at #6. Later recordings were made of this standard by numerous artists, including Bill Evans, Joe Williams with George Shearing, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Carmen McRae,Elkie Brooks. Astrud Gilberto and Mel Torm\u00e9. More recently, “My Foolish Heart” has been covered by pianists Liz Story and Keith Jarrett, guitarists John McLaughlin and John Abercrombie, Charlie Haden’s Quartet West, singers Kurt Elling, Al Jarreau, Jane Monheit and Ann Hampton Callaway, a capella quartet The Idea of North, and the Ska band “The Positive Downside.” In 1963, the song made the top 100 in a doo-wop version by the Demensions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is a link to the Kurt Elling version<\/a>, which is one of my favorite tracks at the moment. I’ve included an embedded player below:<\/p>\n

I’m excited that Kurt Elling is coming to the Vancouver International Jazz Festival<\/a> this year (which runs June 26th to July 5, 2009). Kurt Elling’s concert in Vancouver is on July 3rd 2009 at the Centre for Performing Arts (click here for concert details<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Update: May 2nd 2009: I found a great Youtube video of Kurt Elling performing My Foolish Heart live in Paris (click here to view<\/a> or use the player below).<\/p>\n
