OK, so here I'm practicing lines over the changes to Staffan's tune, "...Or someone else"
I counted it off, to make the goal tempo clear. I'm NOT using a metronome, although I would recommend it if you haven't done much practicing like this. I'm concentrating on keeping the tempo and phrasing. Oddly enough, note choices take a back seat to these other considerations.

Sea Journey by Chick Corea - I remember hearing this great song way back when I was a student at Berklee. It was on Chick's solo album titled Piano Improvisations released in the 70s by ECM. It had a major impact. I was playing the album today and it still sounds fresh. The track is listed as Song For Sally on the album. I also vividly recall Gary Burton playing this with his band in the 70s. Seeing Gary play this also had a major impact. I remember sitting front row (every night he was there) about 5 feet away from the vibes with my Superscope cassette player under the seat. Ha!Ha!
“My Ideal” - One of my favorite songs composed in 1930 and played by one of my favorite pianists, Art Tatum. Art recorded it with Ben Webster as well as Coleman Hawkins.
"Samba e Amor" - a beautiful song by Brazilian composer Chico Buarque. Here's a simple version of the song played with an AAB form. Here's the lead sheet:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1okuOrqEVQlzHTDoxafJjD9V_K71rP8ag/view?…
