Days Of Wine & Roses / Oscar Peterson Trio

The original piece is the theme song for the film of the same name composed by Henry Mancini, a giant of film music, also known in Japan by the title “Sake to Bara no Hibi” (Days of Wine and Roses).

It received high acclaim, including a Grammy Award, and is also famous as a jazz standard.

Backed by his exceptional technique, Peterson’s dazzling playing and irresistibly dance-inducing groove embody the very essence of jazz—simply put, it’s just plain cool.

Fly Me to the Moon

Because “Fly Me to the Moon” was used as the ending theme for the TV anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, it may be strongly associated in Japan with vocal jazz or bossa nova.

However, its melodic charm remains fully intact in 4-beat piano jazz as well.

For some listeners, it might even sound refreshingly new.
