Here's a version of Lush Life from a while back. I was working on 2 things here. You'll here the octaves as soon as the main melody starts and you'll hear me going into the stride stuff after a while. I always try and play some tunes as if…

I've been recording a bunch of tunes the last couple months. And I've let them sit for all this time. Now I'm going back to them and it's a great experience to do this. I'm see myself play one tune over and over and work through problems…
