I knew I was in for a treat from the first seconds. Wow, so warm and full of body! This really did a great job here (as always), very nice way to kick off my weekend!

here's a beautiful but almost never played ballad by Gary Burton from the 2nd vol of the book.  the chord progression wanders around quite a bit but is really lovely.

Hi budo, what a fantastic piece and a fantastic playing!

Gentle wind and falling tear, yes exactly what it is and how you play it. You get a mild, kind, tender character to the piece.

- A gentle approach, you are guiding us toward the end with "kindness", and gentleness is the methodology.
And, the wonderful ending, it fades away. A gradual gentle disappearance that, to me, is leaving a lingering impression, even after the music is gone…..

Beautifully played. Loved it!

Best wishes,

Stig
