Chas, your impro is good, nice balance, good recording.

I have a different view on presenting a song with impro.
1-First time through, play exactly the way the song was written.
2-The second time impro.

My opinion is we add what we are feeling, but not enough to bury the song. I believe we should we should add to the original. It is very much like a Christmas tree; after you decorate it, it is still a Christmas tree.

In the Jazz clubs I went to, if I missed the them playing the song the first time through, I had no idea what song was.

Chas, I enjoyed your recording, but it was confusing. If you did not write the title, I might not have known what song it was.

Only my opinion, John C.
