Hello Budo,
I really enjoyed the music recordings. You can really feel the atmosphere of a rainy September day.
Many thanks and best regards,
J. Unruh

here's another standard that's appropriate for this time of year (although there hasn't been much rain where i live ...)  this is normally done more uptempo but i thought why not take it as a ballad.  just a few changes in here from the original.

Truly, truly a magnificent performance.

WoW! This is elegant, gorgeous, beautiful……

At first I thought what a long and beautiful intro, but then it just continued in one long enjoyment. From about 3.47 it starts to swell out more…wonderful how you can build a melody so beautifully with  elegant  relaxing improvisation.. The whole song became one long beautiful pleasure, enjoyment, delight…
And a nice ending again.

Thank you budo - you are my idol when it comes to jazz music.

Best wishes,

Stig
