Just The Way You Are (Piano Lab / TCI Live Classes)

It was a great 2 weeks working on this song using the insights from Piano Lab and TCI Live. The Comping section uses rootless chord voicing to accompany an acapella vocal... it was a real challenge to keep time with the vocal without any sort of click or backing track. The Improv is a combination of ideas from the TCI Live class and the "Just The Way You Are - Part 1" lesson from the JazzEdge library (especially the last 2 phrases of the improv). I realize that I need to develop better left hand chording while improvising. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XfVlM2tW7c
