Thank you budo for your wonderful rendition of Sophisticated Lady. Duke would probably have liked it.
I think I hear a bit of Misty, a couple of times, at the beginning…..and somewhere at the end?Complicated melody, yes. But you are an especially great player because I hear that you have always control over your playing, and it seems like everything is intentional. If you play a note loudly it's because that note was meant to be played that way. I think a great player use dynamics. Bravo budo.
Like last time, great harmonies again, and nice ”relaxed soloing” on those difficult changes. When listening carefully to this, I think every note, every chord, every line, - beautiful!
Your intro is always slow and beautiful, enjoyable and then a lot of things happen, and before the end, you calm down a bit again and finish wonderfully - always.
Deserves many listens, thank you so much budoBest wishes,

P.S. I noticed: over a thousand posts, Congratulations! Maybe you can catch me
thank you so much for your generous comments. i see what you're saying about Misty ... there is a certain resemblance coming from the arc of the melody! i'm glad you enjoyed it and liked the ending!
