DANNY BOY:  Although Dany Boy, originally created as Londonderry Air is not an American creation but one long part of Irish heritage. It demonstrated the power of melody and a singing line, characteristics of the best of the Classical American Popular song tradition. One cannot help but sing along to such a transforming melody. Here it is played by pianist Keith Jarret who respects the basic melody while adding subtle harmonic touches and voicings that enhance the song itself.
