The Man I Love -- piano solo

Stereo Version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X609P2D64UU&fmt=18

This is a great 'standards' tune by George and Ira Gershwin. I tried to take out some of the melodrama of this tune and give it an updated sound. Honestly, this is a mixed result for me. If I do it again, I will use a metronome to give it more structure and lay back on the melodic lines a little bit more. There are some interesting moments, so I decided to post it. I started with a free improvisation, and wasn't even planning on playing the piece, but that is where it flowed to. I hope you enjoy it. I was having a lot of fun playing today.

All very well done: great playing and all, but isn't it possible to get a proper transcription of this improvisation?

Very nice! What program is that running at the top?

[7notemode]

It's GarageBand- the scrolling score and digital keyboard.

you are a great piano player, but my opinion is that you completely lost track of the beautiful melody line of this song. if the name of the song wasn't shown, i wouldn't have a clue what song you were playing.

Gorgeous, like always!

All is very good, brilliant, in fact! but I don't see any connrction to the original"the man I love"

[ECOSSE11215]
