I hope you like it. I don't have any jazz training so I've been wondering what my piano playing sounds like to others.

I'd love to be able to give some decent feedback but I don't really know much about Jazz! D;

Is it improv? I find Jazz quite interesting but I've never really found myself sitting down and giving it a proper listen.

If you want proper constructive feedback on it, then Reddits composer section can be great for that.

Listen to my music ;) https://soundcloud.com/in-contrast

Well the head which is the main part is the blocked chords played in the beginning... everything else is improvised based on those chords.

I posted it in /r/music but it just got a few upvotes.

That sounds really nice and relaxing.
I hope you get more upvotes on that.

This is not meant to come off rude or anything, but the drumming really needs some work, I would enjoy the tune much more without the drums.

No it's just constructive criticism I don't mind. I will say I think my drumming is suitable for it. Improvising a piano solo isn't my thing -- I need the drums to keep it stable or else my piano will go on a terrible tangent like it did in the third take. And anyway I think my drumming is fine (though could be better) -- it was the same BPM for the most part and didn't do much to take away from the piece. But if there was something that I overlooked with the drums I would like to know what it is to improve.

I just think they are very monotone and sloppy sounding and I think you tend to overuse fills alot. But it's just my opinion. I still feel that I sound a bit rude but I'm glad you don't take it that way.

Keep improving and making music, I will follow this thread so please update me with newer tunes.

To AcidSmile: No really, don't feel rude. It's a part of life. I'll take your criticisms and work on it. Thank you for them.

To Leviet: Thank you.
