'Love Walked In' Improvised Jazz Piano Solo

This is an improvised version of this great Gershwin song. Again I have added the annotations to the solo. I did this as soon as I finished playing, so that I could describe accurately what my idea was behind some of the ideas. You can check out the video or download it at http://web.newsguy.com/dougmck along with a midi file recorded as this video was recorded.
A .pdf file of the transcription is on my DVD - details are on the above website.
If you have a fast connection and want to see this in high quality video to see the notes clearly (and improved audio), add the letters &fmt=18 straight after the existing internet address line above.

Would you please explain "drop 2 chords"? Is the second in the bottom? I have a good back ground of theory but i guess not good enough. Would love your explanation. Love your playing and everything your doing. Your really aspiring all pianist i'm sure. How about some originals. How about so latin spice! Thanks

This is explained in the comments and responses for my video of 'I want To Be Happy'

I understand that Mark Levine (The Jazz Piano Book) is about to release a book called 'The Drop 2 Book' I am sure we will all learn lots from this!

What a lovely touch! What a joy to hear someone who can make the piano sing.

I'm your fan, and recent subscriber. Mark Werling pianist, "Mozart's", Columbus.

Some of your right hand licks sound like Bill Evans. Very very cool. Well played.
