'Laura' jazz piano

Someone asked me to do this.
Starts with a solo piano, then I played the piano over a prepared sequence of Guitar, bass and drums. I listened to a version by Andre Previn and was influenced by his version.
For other piano players who may be interested, I've added lots of text comments explaining some of the techniques used.

I wish, you would play YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG , because that is exactly my story. There are several versions in YouTube. But none of them can be compared with your compositions.

I think this must have been the piece that got me listening to jazz back in the early seventies. I had a great version played by George Chisolm on his trombone. Just fantastic... thanks!!!!

Mesmerizing. Makes me want to quit playing and not at the same time. Those voiceings...It was fine when he just playing keys, but when the bass and drums came in, Holy Sheets man. To be able to play that with that much ease would be the holy grail for me. Thank you.
