This has got to be my favourite Prez recording of all time. It’s so effortless and melodic it just sings. Prez floats over the changes sometimes behind the beat and sometimes just ahead but never a note out of place.

Listen to the recording while you read through the transcription.

You can find it on the verve sessions or Lester Swings album.
