Is it the Jazz piece by Dave Brubeck you are referring to or is
there another Piece by that name?  And on Piano?

Jazz in general is pretty difficult to play on Piano, probably
on most instruments when playing it alone. A lot of music
isn't going to sound good unless you are playing most of the
music from more than one instrument. On guitar you can pluck
away a tune one note at a time but it's pretty empty unless
you are adding other parts to it, as best you can.
i.e.. Bass and Lead at once..

And, as I said, I really only leaned one piece well on piano.
I've played hundreds of pieces on guitar..

That can be interesting, and whatever pleases you is the main
thing unless you are playing for others, especially playing for
others for money. I did that a few times but it wasn't something
I wanted to do seriously. I never pictured myself as a rock star..  B)
