I'm posting a recording of Avalon for Mike...
When I used to visit my pianist friend, I would test his seemingly endless repertoire by asking him to play old obscure classics or jazz pieces. I had stumbled upon Avalon around the time this recording was made (1997) and asked if he knew it. Well it took him a few moments to remember the melody but, as usual, he was able not only to play it, but to make it sound great. Unfortunately he would get bored very quickly, which means a lot of very short performances in my collection.
He was always one for 'live' unedited recording, as opposed to a rehearsed performance, or one with sheet music - with that in mind, I hope you enjoy the clip.
Meanwhile, I've attached another song I am trying to identify....any ideas?
