But when you're playing Waltz for Debby, magic finds you first.
This rare take was captured before our Cannonball Adderley tribute — raw, lyrical, and totally unplanned.

Residing in a sterile Dropbox folder, I found this track that features Marco Kegel on alto saxophone and yours truly on piano, performing a spontaneious rendition that pays tribute to Bill Evans 'Waltz for Debby'. It was screaming: '𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗺𝗲!'

This live jazz recording captures the essence of a remarkable performance, reminiscent of the cool jazz era.

🎬 Caught on tape: During soundcheck for our Cannonball Adderley tribute, we eased into Bill Evans’ “Waltz for Debby” — because some tunes don’t ask for permission.

👉 Watch the full video for a raw & rare take on this timeless classic, with MArco Kegel on alto sax and yours truly on piano in the spotlight and a dash of live-session grit.

Song for Lost Friends is more than a title — it’s a tribute.
