though one can see you are good at what you do....the solo was confusing...i lost the link ......after sometime it was more like noise ....

well to explain the solo.. its starts with a 3/4 waltz ostinato and i start playing a theme over that.. then i start improvising using time imposing.. like 2 over 3, 4 over 3, 5, 6, 7 and then 8 over 3.. then i i take it from 8 and proceed to the "entertainment 101" section.. cross hands, stick twirls and the like... sound is really not good its handycam shot... and my playing wasn't that crisp back then either.. i'm working on it.. thanks for your opinions ASPERANZA.

great work, Gino. Not all solo's need to be melodious. this one was very entertaining, morose, upsetting and calm - across different times. tugged at a range of emotions...
