"Sometime Ago" - Jazz Guitar Cover
The song "Sometime Ago" composed by Sergio Mihanovich found its way to the US by way of Jim Hall, who discovered it when playing with Gato Barbieri in Argentina in 1960. Jim fell in love with the song and brought it to Art Farmer, who popularized it. It has since become something of a standard, though few know the story of the man who wrote it. 

Chuck Corbisiero plays a very beautiful chord melody for this popular tune, and notice how he utilizes the top E string to play some of the melody lines, and then transition back into chord movements for the progression, with some single note jazz lines added in for texture.

# Flora Purim - Sometime Ago
In the next video we hear Flora Purim sing "Sometime Ago" with her group of incredible musicians, and the arrangement is just great. You can read the lyrics posted below the video, only thing is, it is a totally different song, but also a famous jazz song so in this post you get two for the price of one. In 1972 Chick Corea released the album "Return to Forever" featuring Flora Purim. "Sometime Ago" was later recorded and released in 1976 on the album "Open Your Eyes You Can Fly" by Flora Purim.

[Verse]
Sometime ago I had a dream
It was happy, it was lasting, it was free
And now in life, oh, can't you see
How we can make that dream into reality?

[Chorus]
Oh, the music, it was playing
Oh, the firelight, it was dancing
All the children they were singing
All the people they were loving

[Verse]
Sometime ago I had a dream
It was happy, it was lasting, it was free
And now in life, oh, can't you see
How we can make that dream into reality?

[Chorus]
Oh, the morning sun, it was soft and cool
Oh, the evening breeze, it was warm and gold
All together life had started to unfold
Sometime ago
