When You Wish Upon A Star - Jazz Piano

"When You Wish upon a Star" is a song written by Leigh Harline with lyrics by Ned Washington for Walt Disney's 1940 adaptation of Pinocchio. It won the 1940 Academy Award for Best Original Song, It was also the first Disney song to win an Oscar. The American Film Institute ranked "When You Wish upon a Star" seventh in their 100 Greatest Songs in Film History. Im playing this song in C major. This tune is excellent for chord substitutions and reharmonization. There are many choices that will work, I feel each piano player will approach this in their own unique way. I also utilized some drop 2 chords, rootless voicings, and arpeggiated runs. Thanks for listening!
