Wow, i know i'm 3 years late in responding to this, but this is really a great performance of and improvisation on Wayne Shorter's Black Nile. Only criticism i could come up with is that it lacks some calmer moments, but otherwise it's great jazz.
It sounds way better on piano by the way than any brass band. At least, that's my opinion.

One of my favourite songs of all time, and a fantastic version, thank you! Check out the Black Nile video from my uploads if you wish, where I'm playing it alongside one of my jazz piano pupils at school, in a version I transcribed of Kenny Kirkland's wonderful solo. Only goes so far, as it's sight-reading, but we love it!

K could I ask you a question?
First of all thats a KILLER vid
second of all, what did you do at that lick at about 3:09 that just sounds kind of "out" but not wrong? Like, what notes did you play over what chords to get that sound?

Thanks for your comments.
At 3.09 thats probably some altered dominant - key is D minor so dominant chord is A7 with probably sharp 5 b9, and over it goes a Eb9 arpeggio pattern, tritone substitution in action.
Hope that helps.
