A few days ago we heard Stevie Wonder and Kenny Burrell.

Then we heard a beautiful performance by George Coleman and Ahmad Jamal.

How about the George Coleman Octet playing the Stevie Wonder tune “Isn’t she lovely”?

Lyrics and music by Stevie Wonder

Isn’t she lovely
Isn’t she wonderful
Isn’t she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we’d be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn’t she lovely made from love
Isn’t she pretty
Truly the angel’s best
Boy, I’m so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can’t believe what God has done
Through us he’s given life to one
But isn’t she lovely made from love
Isn’t she lovely
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That’s so very lovely made from love
