Overall, very good. especially considering your age and experience. I would like to hear the original melody more clearly defined on Fly Me to the Moon, that melody is beautiful and interesting. You've basically reharmonized it to fit within the blues scale, which is less interesting to my ear than the original melody. You could still do it with the latin feel, but do it in a way that the melody came through. Otherwise very good work, keep it up!
