Hi Pierrot
finally found your thread 
am still learning to navigate the site and will sometimes find myself lost 
really liked your version of “Foolish heart” - beautifully played and in one of the parts - there was a melody that sounded like one of Barbra Streisand songs probably had something to do with the progression used -
really enjoyed watching and listening to this… very nice feel too!
Also watched your Song for my father - Great rendition! love the grooves there -
you looked confident performing these songs - looking forward to more playing from you. Hope you and your family are well. Take care.
Thanks Kristeta for your kind words…
ye long time not posting … I am still looking how to better improve on my 3 instruments (doublebass, electric bass and keyboard). I was pretty confident to have find my routine … and life comes in to put all down … not best period those days for me but i keep playing quite a lot … and music is always a big help.

Very nice! Double bass! I’ve always wanted to learn it but yeah I fully understand that little pressure on the practice - when playing multiple instruments. I’ve abandoned my violin for more than a year now as due to focusing on other stuff too! Looking forward to your next vids 
Hope you and your family are doing well. Take care.
A new song that i love so much … cant resist just putting my first steps with it
the melody need to be clearer some more groove for this waltz bossa needed too … i will try to keep it enough time to remember it … and to have more freedom with this beautiful melody and groove.
my first rubato song … Hayden who master this style will probably able to give me tips and ideas …

Very nice Pierrot! What is the song, by the way? Kicking in a bossa beat would be interesting. I’ve alway been a fan of Latin music and have recently started looking into Afro-Caribe tunes and fiddling around a bit with montunos. So much to learn and so little time.

Love it, nice job Pierre!
Is it an original composition?
I like Scott’s idea to play over a relaxed bossa beat… I think that would add a nice dimension to the groove.
Lovely voicings and harmony.
Cheers,
Hayden
hello and thanks for your support
Oops not mention it is the beautiful Luiza from Antonio Carlos Jobim
I notice thats jazz waltz can be turn to bossa rhythm with often a great result… for this one id like to keep it so …in bossa rhythm it cuts the beauty of it for some reason … but thats just my personal feel.

Pierre,
Thanks for the title. Tom Jobim has been a favorite of mine since I first came across him in the 70’s. I think the first tune I fell in love with was “Ligia.”

Pierre,
That’s a fine first attempt! And your hat certainly sets the mood. That’s a nice tune.
Thanks so much for sharing. One of these days, I’m going to figure out recording and will share some of my stuff (which all sounds like “first attempts”).

Very nice, Pierre!
I listened again to the John Wright’s version and I think your chords are perfect. If I can make a suggestion, the blues/swing/soul feel of your version is a little different from the original recording; not sure if that’s deliberate or not.
Did you also record the backing track? Nice job!
P.S. Love the hat.

i done the backing track, my self on doublebass and some loops of drums. The blues feeling different about the melody exposure , about the rhythm section ?
my goal wasnt really to get exact same feeling , more to approach a bit this slow lush cool feel . but i agree not exact same feel.
ill be really glad @gregb if you can expose your own version of it and maybe try to more replicate more his feell … if you wanna the backT i can share it for sure.
