All Of You
Cole Porter’s All of You, the date’s lone standard, has long been one of Sumi’s favorites. “The arrangement came through a lot of trial and error and just playing it a lot,” the pianist says. “It’s one of those tunes that keeps evolving. It’s at this place now for me, but it keeps changing and I still want to play it a lot more.” Sumi’s improvised introduction reveals her intimate knowledge of the classic composition; while the trio’s seamless segue into the melody unmistakably displays the intuitive empathy among the three players.
