Don't know how I missed this, good rhythm, excellent playing. Only trouble is it's too short. I think, from the examples in this style you have posted, that you might do well to concentrate more on it. Players fluent in it are far rarer than good classical pianists. You have a distinct flair for it and I venture to say you seem to enjoy it more too. So develop it a bit more perhaps ? The first stage might be to improvise your own ideas using the language of Peterson and others you enjoy. It might take a couple of years, possibly longer, to become fluent at it but the personal rewards would be well worth the effort. You have the rhythm now, which is what most people lack, so for you it's just a matter of vocabulary.

Thank you very much :) I can`t say that i like jazz more than classical, but i do like Peterson`s a lot :) I will follow your advise and continue to play and hopefully improve :)
