Topic: Everything Happens To Me (Pianoteq)

here's a solo take on another great standard "Everything Happens To Me." definitely the recording that sets the standard is Monk's version of it.  he's a tough act to follow so i had to take it in a different direction.  nevertheless his influence is there in some form ... hard to get his version out of my ear

”a different direction.  nevertheless his influence is there in some form ..”       I think I can agree, I listened to Monk. In some form…yes.
Your ”arr” is great jazz piano music. Thank you budo.

Nice slow ending going slower and slower - like it     Several good sections, great jazz playing fast,  fr 3,20.   fr 3,53
 
Always interesting to listen to your playing.

Btw
I’m now uploading music in Airteq forum too, two pieces now. Please listen if you have time. Absolutely incredible. Now we really have an instrument designed for creative exploration.

Wonderful performance Budo !
Monk's benchmark version is indeed unforgettable, but you did a wonderful job bringing your own voice to it while keeping those subtle Monkish harmonies and rhythmic touches alive. Masterfully played!
