here's a great tune for spring that's supposed to be a sad and depressing ballad. in fact the title is apparently a jazz version of the first line of T.S. Elliot's The Waste Land. but it turns out that it also works very well to play it up tempo, as long as you ignore the lyrics so no singer would ever do it this way, but i guess piano players can do what they want ...

Excellent performance budo, I'm smiling. Thanks so much for this upload!
And many many nice sections, especially 2,58 - 3,55 nice flow, And the ending: 6,59 - 7,29 is beautiful!
budo, I have learned that specificity is key when complimenting a pianist. So I try to not give a generic remark this time, instead I say: your technique, dynamics, your choice of piece and, well, your interpretation of this piece was so special, it felt like you were playing directly to me. There is so much to like about how you played this piece, a flow in your playing and a delight to hear!
You are lucky to be so talented and we are fortunate to enjoy your music.
Thank you budo.
Best wishes,
Stig
