I've come to love the harmonic changes, especially the last 8 measures, of "Stella by Starlight." That tune inspired this original instrumental in yet another of my "sorta bossa" archive.

Story behind the song

Stella by Starlight, by Victor Young and Fred Washington, is an often covered jazz standard of which the final eight measures feature a clever set of chords, moving to the concluding tonic major chord by an adventurous yet mathematically logical path of related, paired changes,  bVm-VII, IIIm-VI- IIm-V7, with more color than you can shake a stick at.    Donald Fagen of Steely Dan fame encouraged us to be glad when we can use what we borrow.  Happily,  my exercise, October Blue doesnt sound much like Stella, but is nonetheless inspired by that tunes harmonic adventurousness,  and reprises my penchant for sorta bossa rhythm.
