here's a beautiful tune by Ron Carter, "Little Waltz." it's amazing to me that he was able to create such a compelling tune with such a simple melody.  definitely a lot more than it seems!  unfortunately it's not played all that much ...

Oh my, this is a gorgeous rendition! Such a great piece to lose oneself in!!!! Your improv on this is also impeccable—so very well integrated & beautifully rich. Absolutely lovely to listen to as I wind up my day!

Beautiful!
You really get this music to sound as a dream. Your improvisation from about the middle of the piece is growing so well, and from about 4.50 the ending starts with a slower, slower tempo and you feel like you're sleepy and slowly dozing off with the ending chords.
It was a nice feeling because I was tired when listening.  It fit perfectly at the situation. Love how you got this simple piece alive in a beautiful way.
Thank you budo,

Best wishes,

Stig
