He's a nice young man who has worked hard and obviously loves music, but he obviously has no clue about the words or the music or the harmonic structure of "Lush Life," a song he has no more right to play in public, than he has the right to recite Hamlet's "Soliloquy" in public for money.
And if anyone doesn't already know the reasons why, I am not only not being paid to teach you; if you don't know by now, I doubt that Gustav Mahler could teach you--or rather Anton Bruckner, who actually taught for a living and was rather successful at it.
Perhaps if Joey spends the next 15 years listening to the Hartman/Coltrane version at least once a day, he might eventually get it.
And some real ear training and music theory, and a little respect for the composer's wishes as clearly shown in the sheet music might help.
The last phrase is on 8 different chords with almost no overlap--that's why "Lush Life" is often called "the only 12-tone 'Great American Songbook' song."
And at this point I truly don't care whatever anyone else thinks.
But everybody should refresh their memories about this:
