No problemo, I enjoy these kind of investigative mysteries. If you want to check out more jazz, we have plenty of mp3s and videos to listen to with each genre and most artists too.

Thank you, again, for your help. I really appreciate it very much.
It takes movies to help me to appreciate the jazz music genre. I grew up with the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and Elvis. Eyes Wide Shut opened the door to jazz music. Thank you. |

Yeah, I thought the chord changes sounded similar, but one had a guitar and the other didn't, should have thought to look for other versions of the same song. I guess that was Kubrick's little joke to use two versions of the same song.
Thus ends my internet searching, I saw a movie site where you had posted.

I found it!!  Odd thing. The title matches a title on the soundtrack but it's not the same song. The song is called I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good by the Oscar Peterson Trio. The song on the soundtrack with the same title matches a song that is played during a scene when the main character is in the Sonata Cafe talking with his friend Nick. This is the song from the Album Night Train by the Oscar Peterson Trio and is the music played during the kissing scene: Choose "Download This File" and click open when prompted. http://www.wikiupload.com/VWRFR8KE6Y12UKACompare with this from the link you posted earlier and it is not the same: This is just another mystery as to how this could happen, but I'm glad I found the song. The link to the Night Train album is actually on the same page as the Youtube link you posted, so you did help me after all. Thanks!

It sounds like a classic recording from the 60s or 50s, its hard for people to fake that sound on that good of a level. I could be wrong, but I think its a well known jazz piano player who has a very refined soft touch and a tendency to use blues cliches.
Oscar Peterson, Gene Harris and Nat King Cole all come to mind, but there are others. The chord changes sound somewhat like "Georgia on my Mind", but those changes are similar to other songs too.

I appreciate your taking the time to look. If I find it I'll post it here. It's a mystery why it's not on the soundtrack as it certainly is a good piece of music. Maybe Stanley Kubrick paid a composer to whip up a piece of a song just for that scene and it doesn't really exist.

By the way, the changes to the song are similar to "Georgia" and another piano player that sounds like this is Nat King Cole.

My other choice of piano player is Gene Harris, its a bluesy player with a light refined touch, which fits Peterson and Harris both.

It could be the Oscar Peterson Trio but it's not any of the songs on the soundtrack album. Strange thing. I just skimmed through most of the songs from the Brad Mehldau discography and I didn't hear it. I'm going to try Oscar Peterson next and after that, Roy Gerson.

I should note that unless the song on the soundtrack is severely truncated, it is not Brad Mehldau's Blame it on My Youth which does appear on the soundtrack but is not the song heard in that scene. It's similar but it's not it and the tempo is also different.

In a couple hours when I am off work, I'll try to pinpoint the actual song.

Thanks, again. I'm going to check out some of Brad Mehldau best songs to see if I can't locate that piece.

Although it sounds like an older player, looks like it may be Brad Mehldau:
In addition to his trio and solo projects, Mehldau has worked with a number of great jazz musicians, including a rewarding gig with saxophonist I have to work now, but I will be pursuing this more later, stay tuned.
