There were some minor areas where the lack of realism in the articulations was heard, but it wasn't anything that would make me hold this back on production grounds.
The left-hand stuff for the first 1:12 was pretty simplistic, and the melodic treatment was very straightforward. Cool original stuff from 1:22-1:47, then back to the source tune briefly in a higher octave for less than 20 seconds before the close.
It's a cool cover in a vacuum, but I agreed with the others that for its short length, it was too straightforward of an piano arrangement and needs more development and interpretation for the standards here.
Still a cool piece, short and sweet, just something that falls outside of our guidelines for being a short, straightforward cover. If you're not interested in revisiting this one to flesh it out further, no worries, Joe, you'll handle it with the next submission.
