But speaking of Last Tango In Paris, the theme from the eponymous film is another piece that I want to learn to play, but it won't sound as sinuous and sleazy as Argentinian composer Gato Barbieri on tenor saxophone. (Go for the live performance from the Latin Quarter, not the Oliver Nelson orchestral version.) But Philip Sear shows that a piano arrangement can sound lovely too.
The nihilistic lyrics by Dory Previn, written later to be sung by Andy Williams, who is usually wrongly credited, are also a perfect match to theme of the film. The best vocal I've heard is the version by Marlena Shaw, which oozes cynicism.
Another favourite of mine is the cool version by Gotan Project.
