Topic: Get Happy (Pianoteq)

here's a standard that was loved by Bud Powell, "Get Happy."  it's a fun tune.  this version is, for better or worse, quite heretical.  i just really like playing it this way.  i'm sure Bud Powell would not have approved

Haha, Bud Powell might raise an eyebrow at first, but honestly, a little 'heresy' is what keeps jazz fresh, Budo!
It's such a fun, refreshing take on a classic.
Thanks for sharing this playful spin on Get Happy!
