Music: For the Reservations Recommended Soundtrack Album
Reservations Recommended, Chapter 5:
“What was that tune?”
“‘Angel Face.’ It’s pretty, but the next one’s a real classic. ‘Body and Soul.’” He takes her in his arms again, and they go back to hugging to music.
He ends the kiss, and he says, “Thank you. And now, I’m going to take you home.”
Coleman Hawkins is playing “I Love You,” a tune with a poignant and lovely lyrical line, deep and penetrating, that goes right to your heart and makes it tremble.
