Your Favorite Ballad? + My Foolish Heart Arrangement
Hi all! What is your favorite jazz ballad? Recently I have been working on My Foolish Heart and it's one of my favorites. The Bill Evans version turned me onto this tune a while ago. That turnaround at the end is just too beautiful.

Original Jazz Waltz - Let me know what you think!
I wrote this tune a few years back, and I decided to try a duo arrangement of it. I love sharp 11 chords so they are featured a good bit in this :)

Hi all! Wanted to share my arrangement of the standard Just Friends. I've always loved this tune. The melody is incredible. Was feeling really inspired from a Ted Greene video I saw recently.
I love playing melodic minor over the minor 4 chord. Any other tunes you guys know that has this change? Would like to practice this more :)
