Wes Montgomery - In Your Own Sweet Way
Beautiful dynamics between Wes Montgomery and Tommy Flanagan here:
I also like Bill Evans’ Solo recordings of this tune:

Wes is my favourite jazz guitar player (even guitar not my favourite instrument). He made some commercial recordings but otherwise he is the best 
such classe 
and easylistening , clear and effective melodies with modesty … la classe

Hello Marc
not sure to understand what you do with it . It was a midi file played by a software ?
I had the opportunity to use at a friend’s home : Cubase a little to isolate voices)
Ableton (a free limited in time version), Linux multimedia studio (in demonstration in a shop ) and sibellus.
I used some piano sounds that I took (not well) in Grand piano… I used also an XKey keyboard from CMR to add my notes to the computer
first : a mp3 of an orchestra version
then multiple midi
then piano sounds
then add some sounds via a keyboard
so… what you listend is totally artificial
but, I’ll try to upgrade it to make a sheet
then to try to play it
… if I can))))
I’m not up on the programs listed, but I can say that CME’s Xkey Air Bluetooth Keyboard Controllers are great. I have both the 25 and 37 key versions, and they’re handy while sitting at a computer away from your piano. You can even pair them both at the same time for 62 keys if you’re so inclined. With Bluetooth there’s next to no lag, and they can be wired as well. Here’s a review if you’re interested. (Also, there are a number of videos available showing them in use.)

Another well-known Bossa Nova tune, going to try to work this one out by ear and transpose to sing along.

She’s one of my favorites, and this is one of my favorite songs as well. Thanks for posting. I hadn’t thought of her for some time. I started listening to her in the early 70s when she was with Chick Corea’s Return to Forever. Here’s another one you might like. Also, you might check out Luciana Souza and Gretchen Parlato.

By chance I came across the album John Coltrane with Johnny Hartman today. I’d never heard of Hartman before. What a voice. At any rate, the album is a classic and well worth a listen, both for solo pianists and accompanists. And McCoy Tyner is amazing here:

In addition to becoming a big fan of Snarky Puppy in recent months, I’ve grown particularly fond of the individual work of Bill Laurance, one of the collective’s founding members. Love the propulsion behind this piece. Great driving music.

Snarky Puppy is made up of some really talented folks. (Originating out of UNT, University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. Check out the theory books by Dan Haerle, retired professor who most certainly was one of their teachers.) Cory Henry plays/played keyboards with them along side of Bill Laurence. At about 4:23, Cory Henry takes off and Laurence just shakes his head and walks off. Pretty funny.

I just started listening to Stories from Here and There, an April 5 release on Apple Music. It’s from Tuomo. I haven’t had a chance to listen all the way through yet, but I picked a couple to review. “Be Good or Be Gone” and “Solitude” are excellent. I figure the rest will be too. The only video I could find is a preview. Enjoy!

Hey guys,
I personally started listening massively to Bill Evans’s Autumn Leaves Trio in the purpose of transcribing it afterward…some work to do…
And also this one;
Just finished the lesson on Misty (extended voicings) and really loving this sax sound.
