You're totally brilliant at piano no matter what some uptight judge says. If it wasn't for the competitive soul in me, I'd say it's completely wrong to JUDGE jazz. Of course there are skills that one needs to excel at jazz such as tecnical facility, etc. However, YOU have all anyone needs to be good at jazz. And when the music comes from your soul, far be it for anyone to tell you that what you're doing is wrong. With jazz, if it feels right to you, it's right.
