here's another composition by Misha Mengelberg.  the tune has a second title in English "Crocodile Tear," but that's not a literal translation of the Dutch title (The Laughing Dwarf) and as far as i can tell it's not a Dutch idiom of crocodile tears.  kind of a mystery.  anyway, it's still a lot of fun to play!

Dear budo, always beautiful playing, especially this one. And you surprised me again with the ending!

I experienced 4.43 as the beginning of the ending chord and then came ritardando + diminuendo and then 5.00 nothing!!! I was expecting a ”button” but no, nice ending surprise anyway   

Nice jump at 1,48 in the middle of the impro and then 2,43 - 2,50  10  jumps. Bravo!

While there are many ways to weave emotion into music,
your improvisation here put me in a good mood, thank you budo.

Best wishes,

Stig

thank you Stig, i really appreciate it.  i went and listened again and indeed there were some jumps in there so it must really not be anything to do with a crocodile.  i'm glad that it put you in a good mood!

Great work, Budo. I really like this piece, which is very dynamic and full of improvisations, just like your style.
