Great Ellington! Great piece of music! Great player budo!

Thank you budo! Like a breath of fresh air on this very dull winter day with 0° C (unusually warm for the time of year in Finland, it is usually -15°C this time of year).

You keep the ”frame” of the melody throughout, (nice to follow), while improvising nicely. Like it!
And love that last chord - a little bit scary-surprise but wonderful awesome last chord!

Thank you budo

Best wishes,

Stig

thank you for listening and your comments!  i guess the last chord was a bit crazy   the weather is also surprisingly mild where i live (New England).  but that just makes me think a giant blizzard is in the works.
