Hiromi Uehara - Firefly (piano cover)

A lovely ballad from the amazing jazz composer and pianist Hiromi Uehara. Her style is a bit out of my comfort zone, but the obvious passion in this piece makes it easier to pull it off. I shaved off some repetitive sections in the beginning, which in my humble opinion improves the overall balance of the piece. From her third album "Alive" released in 2014.
When I listen to this I think of sad goodbyes.

Each sectIon is more notable for its individual character than a cohesiveness. It sounds like a medley. Love ur interpretation as always.

My first time hearing this, melody kind of sounds like Ravel's Bolero at the beginning 👀 Great playing!

Can you share your version of the sheet music? I prefer it over the original.
