So What - Miles Davis

I played this song for one of the RCM Grade 8 etudes/study pieces.

There is a contest going on at work, geared towards the United Way fundraising campaign. If selected, I get to perform at the September 30 United Way kick-off, where 'celebrity judges' will pick the most talented "banker". I suppose I could've played Beethoven's Sonata in G Major, Op. 49, 2nd movement, but it needs to be shorter than 3 minutes. The original recording of So What is a lot more spontaneous than what was written in the Hal Leonard Jazz piano series. I can't wait to see what others would do if they do decide to participate. Who knows... maybe a closet magician.. or maybe a singer or a dancer. Meanwhile, I'm just another ordinary bank teller.
