here's a beautiful tune by Rodgers and Hart, "Lover." actually this tune was completely unknown to me but i've since found out that many people have covered it, vocalists of course, but also Coltrane and others.  most people do it in 4 but the original is indeed in 3.  the covers in 4 tend to be much faster than this ...

This piece is also really beautiful, with its fast-paced rhythm. Your performance was excellent, Budo. I've always wondered how you create such wonders from just a few chords and a few notes... Well, congratulations.

thank you so much Carmelo!  i'm glad you found it beautiful.  to be honest doing this kind of music is really the same as any other, just tons of practice

Ending:  Nice descending melody loop 6 steps from 4.47 -  and nice final chord that rolls all the way down to the end. Thanks, budo ( as you know I often listen to how people end a song, you can get ideas for your own compositions or improvisations).

Outstanding improvisation of this incredible song. Great talent.
Thank you budo for sharing this. Please keep going with similar material, or I can say, continue with any jazz music style - it is always enjoyable and interesting to listen to your particular playing style. Thanks!

I think I once said you are unique. But wondering - what makes a particular player’s style of playing “unique”?
Many many things.. On the other hand, if I could say what makes you unique, you would no longer be unique 

So keep going!

Best wishes,

Stig
