here's a song for the last days of summer (at least in my hemisphere ), Horace Silver's "Summer in Central Park." actually Horace knew what he was talking about, Central Park in the summer is a great place to hang out, always something interesting going on.  i hope if it's the last days of summer for you you have a chance to enjoy them!

WOW Budo !
Wonderful, lyrical playing! That gentle waltz tempo and warm harmony fit the end-of-summer atmosphere so well.
Horace Silver really captured the spirit of Central Park, and you brought that nostalgia right out.
Good Job !"

Wonderful playing. Have not been in New York but when listening I can imagine:

The feeling of escaping concrete streets to lie on cool grass under the shade. The electric hum of being surrounded by thousands of people yet feeling completely at peace in a pocket of nature.
I hope it's something like this if I were to go to New York.  ?

Anyway, Horace's song combined with your playing style is probably Central Park in the summer in a nutshell!

It captures an energetic yet pleasant sunny day, balancing a calm, melodic charm with engaging, upbeat jazz harmonie that feels both serene and lively. Your way of playing the song moves with a breezy bicycling-along-the-path rhythm in a steady flow. Wow!!!
(Well it is so nice to try to find cool words to describe your playing…some times I succeed ….

Thank you budo so much again. And beautiful ending last 14 seconds. I really like it!

P.S.  As a teacher with 41 years of experience, I learned over the years that when you praise someone, you shouldn't just say "good." That leaves one wondering: what exactly was good?
So, here too, I am trying to explain "why" I like your music.

Best wishes,

Stig

thank you so much Stig!  i really appreciate all you have to say.  i think your impression of what it would be like is spot on.  there are tons of people doing all kinds of crazy things.  but it is also a beautiful spot for nature, there are lots of cool places to check out.  my kids always loved seeing the turtles in the pond, they are always trying to catch some sun.  and i really appreciate your thoughts about what the music conveys to you, they are excellent to read

A wonderful listen Budo! It really does capture that what I imagine when I think of Central Park (I've not been there). Thank you for the Friday song treat!
