Original Version here:
Stanley Collins (2012) - Two-Piano

An exhilarating, invigorating and refreshingly jazzy take on this classic.
Very tight two-piano chordwork and voicing. 
Exciting reharmonization and rhythmic ideas.
Melodic and temporal fidelity preserved amidst jazz complexity.
A brilliant arrangement and performance!
