'They Say it's Wonderful' - jazz piano solo tutorial

This has always been a favourite song of mine, and I have got around to doing a solo piano video lesson based on it.
I tried to use lots of alternative harmonies from the original. It was totally improvised, so the transcription came later. You will notice the slight hesitation on my part sometimes as I decide what to do next, but thankfully I recovered just in time! This time I have added the melody line.
The transcription should be quite accurate and playable - though the main function of these videos is to give lots of examples of different techniques within the context of a well known standard rather than reproducing the whole transcription.
The full printable transcription is on my DVD - details are at http://www.bushgrafts.com/jazz/DVDbuy.htm
