There Will Never Be Another You

[Hardbopjazz]

I am trying to learn this tune, albeit I know the changes, I sometimes like to hear different versions of tunes, to see how other musicians approved playing the tune.

Any favorite versions of this tune you can recommend me checking out? I am playing guitar. I do have a great version played by Joe Pass. I also have a Kenny Barron take on this tune I like.

Lester Young did a few versions on Verve worth hearing. In fact it was one of the very last he recorded, which seems appropriate as there never will be another Pres.

[BeBop]

Jazzbo's thinking aligns perfectly with mine. I really enjoy improvising over these changes, and it's usually with Pres' versions in mind. They'll leave you hearing the song in a new way.

This is one of those tunes that always seems to sound good (or maybe so many good versions). It's normally played fast but it I think it was written as a ballad. There's a slowish version by Lou Donaldson on Swing and Soul.

Horace Silver wrote a great tune over Another You changes called Split Kick- it's on the Blakey @ Birdland recording w/Clifford & Lou.

Also, John Scofield wrote a tune over those changes, too- called Not You Again.

Just FYI, You're a Weaver of Dreams is another tune with a similar chord progression.

A favorite tune in Sonny Rollins' book during the 60s.

Check his version from the Sonny Rollins in Sweden 1959 concert (with Henry Grimes and Pete LaRoca).

my favorite is Bud Powell's intro to this song - on Portrait of Thelonious; possibly also on an RCA version by him, though I'm not certain of that -

Infinite variations under infinite titles to be found by Lee Konitz/Warne Marsh/Lennie Tristano/etc.

I like Jackie Paris' version too, if you want to hear a singer do it.

This may seem trivial, but I grew up with Chris Montez's hit, and I recommend that you listen to it for its joie de vivre.

[jostber]

There is a great version on this record:

Chris Montez - also, Time After Time.

I like the Stan Getz version on this session:

[Royal Oak]

Call me sappy, but I love Chet Baker's (vocal) rendition.

[Alexander Hawkins]

There's a nice Jimmy Heath tune on the changes, but I can't think what it's called for the life of me just now...wasn't familiar with it before, but someone turned up to a gig with it a couple of months ago, and it was great!

[JSngry]

Superb reading of the words, w/verse intact, and what sounds like a Nelson Riddle slow-build arrangement:

[Tom Cat]

for guitar i like most versions from joe pass, andre previn and ray brown on the album after hours and jimmy raney with sonny clark-album together, i'm almost sure jimmy bruno has a nice version of it as well but i don't remmeber well and don't have cd right here, i may be wrong also haha

This one was a favorite at gigs in the late 50s and early 60s. I can remember it announced as "The Ram's Lament".
