'Young and Foolish' - jazz piano tutorial

'Young and Foolish' - jazz piano tutorial.
This is another experiment in designing a tutorial. In this I have added the original melody to the video screens - it is in sync with the improvisation, even in those sections which are played freely. My idea was to enable those who might be interested to see the relationship between the melody, and the improvisaation above it.
I always think of Bill Evans when playing this song - especially the great version he recorded with Tony Bennett. To hear this, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n_bciXKl9k
I will put the video and midi file on my website - http://www.bushgrafts.com - and put the bass and drums backing track that I used, and the printable transcription of the piano improvisation to my DVD (details on the website)
