unfortunately i was travelling lately for work and couldn't participate in the forum like i normally like to.  it will take me some time to get caught up in my listening.  in the meantime i did upload two tracks to yt so i want to share them here.  this one is a beautiful tune by Monk, "Light Blue."  the changes in this chart aren't quite correct so i fiddled with them a bit (not that mine are correct either ) he's such a great composer ... he can do so much with so little.  (btw i don't know much about the other tune Licea, but i listened to it and it's definitely worth learning, so maybe .... )

At first, ” he's such a great composer ... he can do so much with so little”. Well, I have to say: you are such a great pianist…you can do so much with so little.
Because - I think this piece have about only 8 bars, but wonderfully played! Excellent!
If you play a lot of notes or just a few ones, but you make everyone count. And that is one thing that makes me want to listen to you, always, I never get tired.
And this one is a special execution - relaxed and I like the tempo. And the ending (always)   

Listening again, actually electrifying performance.

Thank you budo!

Best wishes,

Stig
