Topic: Monk's Dream (Pianoteq)
here's one of the great Monk tunes, "Monk's Dream." i've heard this one done many different ways, including as a funk tune. this version is kind of traditional, maybe a bit more uptempo than some other recordings.

Thank you budo. Sounds great. Thelonious himself would love this.
Monk would have given his approval.
You captured Monk's dissonances here very well.
And i like the beginning of the ending section (as I feel it from 3,20 - 3,50) with those dissonances fr about 3,20….and the rest is as a dream….bravo!
And I, as an audience, understood when it was over and could give a standing ovation.
It's easy and nice to comment on your music simply because I like it, as a contrast to Bach's music. I have broadened my musical taste a lot. Thank you budo.
..just a short test for you budo.....

Truly beautiful, Budo!
A brilliant and dynamic piece, with a captivating rhythm, I really enjoyed it!

thank you so much Stig! i don't know if the maestro would have liked it but it's a nice thought and i thought your version was a great start, i think it would take far less than months
