Moonbeam Cafe: for the night owls. We are not afraid of the dark. Pour a drink and stay a while.
In honor of 1000 -- A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square

The moon that lingered over London town; Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown How could he know we two were so in love, The whole darn world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars, It was such a romantic affair, And as we kissed and said goodnight, A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square
There are other arrangements, but this one is one of my favorites. Might be my love of the Manhattan Transfer.



That's lovely!
Probably one of my favorite songs when I was singing jazz. Here's one on of the earlier versions.

Because it's a solo it's missing the harmonies of the Manhattan Transfer arrangement.
I like Bud Powell's arrangement for solo piano.

Oh come now, you missed the opportunity to post a song with a much more appropriate title.
John Coltrane - The Night has a Thousand Eyes
1) Being a vocalist, I'm far more familiar with vocal music. And I was in a jazz group that did stuff from the 20s-40s.
2) I wanted something that mentioned the moon.
