Holly cow! Mikko, you kick ass in a big way.
There's a fluidity in your playing that I find incredible, the notes, phrases and pauses just pour in a continuous stream.
With all that flamboyance in your playing there's still modesty in your words above, very cool.
Thank you for sharing.

I'm speechless! Thank you!

Mikko, where has the video gone?

The link he put up below original post still works. Still wows me the same and then some.

Hmm. It's not working for me on my ipad2.

Mikko, that is such beautiful playing and such a creative approach to that well-worn (if much-loved) tune! It's amazing that after all these years and all the versions that have been played and recorded, musicians are still coming up with personal, insightful, moving takes on the melody. I guess that's the beauty of jazz...

see if this works just in case Mikko went to winter hibernation in Finland

Thank you all for taking care of my video.:) I haven't changed anything related to this video. I don't know what has happened.
Yes, I would be happy if I went to hibernation.:) There is lot of resting needed here.:)

Happy New Year!

Thanks a lot!

In past I have practiced a lot, made transcriptions and so on. After having my second child I haven't got so much time to all this. So maybe I have tried prioritize my time that's left for music and just play what I feel inside. I think Finns are overall quite nature-related people and so am I. I get lot of my inspiration from nature.
