here's one i think i never shared but was recently released: "All I Want" by Joni Mitchell.  i first learned this tune from a Keith Jarrett album, maybe that's kind of crazy, but it was my introduction to her music.  i think there are lot of other tunes by her that jazz players could get into.

What a fantastic choice Budo!
Her catalog is full of hidden gems that deserve more jazz treatments, and you did All I Want total justice.
Love the flow and voicings throughout!

thank you so much Carmelo! i wish i could take credit for "discovering" the possibilities of the tune but i think i have to credit Keith Jarrett for that   still i love this song and it's one of my favorites by her.  i will look for others to try.

Hi Budo, Great playing as always! A very nice break from my work this evening to listen. Seems like a mix of styles here, or maybe that mix is named, but less of the jazz sound I am used to from many you share. Really like the mellow first section.

Thanks for sharing!

thank you so much Ken! yes the style is definitely a bit hybrid, i can't really play straight rock piano but i did try to keep it more under control than some of the jazz offerings.  i'm glad you liked the first section
