GORGEOUS!!! You seem to be a jazz fan. Are you familiar with Bill Evans? One of my FAVES:

Also one of my VERY faves. Learned this on piano for my hubby who is a big Pat Metheny fan. It it soooo touching and powerful. I imagine a soldier in the field reading a letter from a parent or loved one. Every phrase....so meaningful and tender.

Of course you should be familiar with the tribute Metheny/Mays did for Bill Evans.

You can definitely hear the influence Evans had on Lyle’s playing.

Bill is a nice man, too. When I was a kid, I used to hang around at Local 47, go to see the all Stars at Shelley Mann’s and cruise the Lighthouse before I could drink. They used to”Red Card the table. Try Bud and Bob Cooper )great player and well underappreciated) on flute and Oboe;

They used to play there with 30-40 of us in the room.
