Topic: Gettin' There (Pianoteq)

here's another solo piano improvisation from a lead sheet, this time the great Bud Powell tune Gettin' There.  it's from a later album The Scene Changes, imo one of his best albums.  there are a lot of great tunes on there.

This one has a kind of Hit the Road Jack too. Otherwise, perfect !

Amazing, how can you play so fast!?
What a brilliant performance again. This is extremely creative. Listened and enjoyed. You have the knowledge, skill & confidence to play whatever you want in this genre.  
As always, I find some interesting parts, now for example 2,30 - 2, 40     And I Iove the last ending chord - what a surprise, good effect!
Soon you are regarded as one of the greatest pianoplayers in this genre.   budo - the creative pianist.
Thanks for sharing your recordings.

Best,

Stig

thank you so much for your comments.  they're very encouraging and i really appreciate them! i had to take a look at the last chord, it's actually rather weird (a low F and a B, Bb just below middle C).  i didn't remember doing that ... i too liked that part you mentioned, it was also a bit crazy
