Fabulous, unusual, really nice playing.
Enjoyed it much. Thank you

I found a little special curiosity for you budo - I have been singing this piece when young, birthday party, made own arr, backing track training at home, with an old Roland arranger at that time (or Tascam Portastudio 6 track with C cassette!)
Had to cut down 30 seconds.

I remeber your wonderful playing Annie: Maybe, and then you attached the original, a girl singing.
So I take the chance to show my "original"

Sad that you didn't make it among the 12 in the contest. I like your entry.

Best,

thank you for your comments and for posting your own vocal treatment of the tune.  that was a big surprise i really enjoyed it.  actually your arrangement was quite nice.  how long ago was that done?

Hi budo,
I could have written a private email as a reply, but it is now here. If it's not right, Niclas will probably remove it. Anyway after a long introduction I’m saying I’m going to sing with Pianoteq sound now All these things I tell are only my experiments that I love.

I think All of me was 1992 -1993 maybe. Had a Roland U-20 1989 and Roland MC-50mkll sequencer module, a zoom reverb, but got Roland JV-1000, 76 keys. Changed it to Roland XP-50 workstation, later 1997 Roland G-600 workstation arrange autocomp. Since I found Pianoteq 2013 I don't need anything else. Only a better keyboard, Kawai mp 11 se would be good and a pedalboard for Organteq - but, where to get all money ?   

Have also been singing Skylark, Georgia on my mind, Ain’t misbeaven, Killing me softly and of course some swedish and finnish songs.
But my singing voice is not so good anymore, but still thought about singing with Pianoteq instruments + bass from daw….
But just like in the 90s, only for my own pleasure. Yes, singing with Pianoteq is what I want to try. You know I love to experiment and it began 1989 with U-20 and Commodore 64, got a sequenser program from Germany and recorded Paul McCartney 'Pipes of Peace U 20 had max six part.
I have always loved to experiment and that can be seen in my contest entry too. There was many peolple on yt that loved it and gave comments and thumbs, but I know that the jury has other kind of criteria and I don’t feel bad about it at all. I never give up   

Best,

Stig

p.s. amazingly, there are people who have made CDs with commodore 64, here are 2 links (I used the same C lab scoretrack sequenser and still have it, a thin sheet of plastic) Sound are from soundmodules at that time.
First from 1984 and second from 1987    midi came 1982

here's a solo performance of one of the most commonly played standards All of Me.  there are so many ways to do it.  i was in a kind of Monk stride mood so i tried that with it.  but one could do it in almost any solo piano style, it's so recognizable that it will almost always work.

I discovered your Youtube page! Stunning !
I'm not very connoisseur of Jazz but I find your productions original and of great finesse.
Well done then!
