1:28 I first heard a loop of this tune on the radio in the game Oxenfree years ago, and it was so catchy but I couldn't find the name of the tune in the credits or by Shazaming it. After so long, I finally identified the tune to be this one! I had to search the audio files from the game, but I found one called "Radio_swampyriver2.wav" which let me here. So glad to finally be able to hear the full tune, and I might try to learn this on piano :) Thank you for the transcription so I can learn my favorite part!
I'm glad you enjoy them! I originally made those transcriptions to train my ear and add those pieces to my repertoire, but I thought it'd be a pity that kept all that stuff for myself.
Muy buen trabajo!!!! Hermoso tema, una etapa primigenia del Duke...pero los arpegios de 8vas y 5tas denotan que su estilo ya estaba ahí. Felicitaciones.
I've been trying to learn this tune on my instruments now, and correct me if I'm mistaken, but there appears to be an error in the score around 1:36. The bassline should be having the Bb in the second half of the loop, but the writing still shows it as Ab.

wow, Willie the Lion Smith clearly left his influence on the Duke's playing! Just dig the trio from 1:30
