Leo spent three months in his rent-controlled apartment on West 106th Street. He covered the walls with index cards, each with a song title, its first two bars, and its last two bars. He practiced transitions. From “All the Things You Are” (the ascending fourth) to “All of Me” (the descending fifth). From “Stardust” (the melancholy verse) to “Star Eyes” (the bright bridge). He failed constantly. He’d get stuck between “I Remember You” and “I’ll Remember April”—too similar, a harmonic dead end. He’d wake up at 3 a.m., sweating, hearing the ghost of a wrong note. -FULL- 557 jazz standards in bb
