You should really work on your jazz chops, man.  It'll really help the creativity and musicality of your improvisations.

A sweet piece and nicely organized for an improvisation. I was also impressed with the music box-like timbre of the opening and the overall resonance, even when you switched to the more conventional piano timbre. Were you using a digital piano to obtain the first effect, or did you otherwise modify a "real" piano? I didn't think that merely engaging the una corda would be sufficient, but I could be wrong...

Thank You very much! I actually play on a piano keyboard (Yamaha Portable Grand NP-30) and when I record a piece I just add a reverb and such effects in a program I use to make it sound at least a bit closer to the sound of an actual piano.
