Greg Phillinganes visits Steinway & Sons

[hautausurakoitsija]

What does a jazzer look like then?

[thedirtymeatball]

white dude does not look like a jazzer

[ianmackenziedavis]

Greg is the greatest session keyboardist of the modern era. He can pretty much hang with anyone.

[e13e7]

DAMN YOU NOT HD FORMAT

@e13e7 dude, you don't need hd for everything

[petritn]

[homePicShow1]

Does Greg Phillinganes have a you tube channel? I can't get enough of his funky tunes and keyboard technique.

[MichaelBarry1992]

I used to crap out better playing instruments as a child.

[28jadufer]

This site must be the Paradise!!!

[Ikaruszaki]

Yes, playing Hold the line is certainly easy and satisfying... :D Even if it's for three seconds

[moisessantos1234]

[MasterPianoGuy]

@moisessantos1234 Rachmaninoff Prelude No.2, Op.3

[klaushaidinger]

[Major2219]

That's that guy from that TV Show that used to come on call( VIBE) He's Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[0111000001001000]

quem sabe brinca neh :D

[Time0207]

Looks that NY Steinway isn't enought for him.

He was going to Vienna also.. .. so he was able to visit the Bosendorfen factory too!

[bluemonolith88]

geez, ny steinway was plenty good enough for vladimir horowitz. some people are just too fussy for all the wrong reasons.

[zgilmartin12]

what is 0:58

[anteupper]

It might be "Countdown"- John Coltrane

[ikkejick]

Great video!

[superstarduc]

[superstarduc]

Hey.I want to by Stienway&Sons Model D

[superstarduc]

[klaushaidinger]

[ThiagoSusKeyboard]

Greg Phillinganes é um grande pianista. Adimiro seus trabalhos, e gosto de suas idéias empolgantes e extremamente musicais!

Abraço e muito sucesso parceiro das teclas!

[MusicGeneration2008]

i live in the home town of steinway and sons =) bayreuth!!! and i visit it a lot of times =)

[paalae84]

Greg Phillinganes = GP or GRAND PIANO hehe

[Playgeer]

I love 4:29 !!

[RonBurgundyChannel4]

Whats at like 4:19

[skellez83]

It seems to me an imprecise citation of Asturias, by Albeniz. I think that it is from a suite called Espana.

[HisAirness08]

@RonBurgundyChannel4 called "Asturias"

[kirbygrubb]

is this the same guy that used to play with eric clapton

[chrish8n]

indeed..look for the pretending video from 24 nights, the opening is great

[papierkorb]

Yes

[Time0207]

with Michael Jackson too..

[Daregmakil]

Yes, he performed with Clapton back in the 80's and was on most of his 80's albums. Greg is an unknown legend.

[leesterg]

In the industry GP is a house hold name, he has appeared on albums from Quincy and Michael Jackson, Anita Baker, Toto and the list goes on and on . . . true, to the general public he is not that well known but is on countless albums and has produced a good number of artists as well.

[dvamateur]

@kirbygrubb Yeah, and with Michael Jackson as well, and many others.

[MrMatt1606]

@kirbygrubb yeah

[mb600luvr25]

too funny

[znepx]

somebody know what's playing at 3.24 and 4.32 to 4.57???

[admiralthor]

4.29 - 4.57 is Child's Anthem from the album TOTO. Right after that is "I'm in the mood for love" :D

[admiralthor]

oh and 3.24 is "Hold the Line", one of TOTO's more famous pieces, also originally from the album "TOTO".

[kristmist]

Does anyone know what that piece at around 4:50-55 is ???

[raincloudmusic]

I did an interview with a friend of mine at Toto Network with Greg. Eddy and I had such a wonderful time with the questions and Greg answered every one of them. He is such a humble cat---very knowledgable, and one of my keyboard heroes. It takes me 2 hours warming up to reach a 10th....GAP does that just messin' around, easy. He's one of the greatest all-around players. Love this.

[08320666]

childs anthem !!!!!

[jobimboy]

great solo in rossana toto philippines manila

[blankpianist]

what song is that at 3:44?

[jerdawg553]

he's playing rachmaninovs prelude

[jadedkiwi23]

I love Steinway Hall(s). Sounds cool man

[Lodare111]

i live in hamburg^^

[elvenchamp]

rachmaninoff's prelude in C# minor on a steinway. That's the way it should be.

[OrientExpressMB]

It's practice, no talent.

[TheKoreanX]

damn he is good!

[DuMyth]

Now THATS real fun!!! Man how i wish i play the piano like them...

[khaliqovision]

Greg is a monster and a genuinely nice guy as well.

I'll be sharing some of the secrets about how I've recorded him,

or observed others record him playing acoustic piano in the studio.

[jaceydotlau]

Man, I would kill to be able to do that! ): Do they let random strangers walk in and test pianos, do you know?

Haha! (:

[mouimen]

greg phillinganes worked with michael jackson a lotttt hes the best keyboardist

[YGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYG]

Steinways sound really good. My former teacher has four of them.

[123PeterFunny]

great

[carserus]

love this - improvising on Rachmaninov op 3 no 2... fantastic

[szatanizmo]

i want one

[YGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYG]

I am so jealous!

Such great talent from both players.

Rachmaninoff, Op.3, No.2 I played, but he sounds so good. That jazz is really hott. I might switch from classical to jazz or pop. Sounds really good, guys!

[YGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYG]

That's so disgusting that he can do that with two fingers while standing. lol

Great stuff!

[funkyguyxxx]

can someone identify the song he is playing at 03:43?

[56Packman]

It's a Bach invention, the exact BWV number has left my brain.

[Sviolinist]

God damn they own the beat hard

[PIANOMAN720]

nice jam !!

[Morahman7vnNo2]

I Wonder If Steinway & Sons Makes Honky Tonks.

[ElectroRhodes88]

hes too damn talented... its not fair... not just best black keyboardist but one of the best pop-keyboardists period.

[Peacekeeper902]

keith jarrett is my favorite!!! but this one owns to

[ElectroRhodes88]

I love how he's out there in Hamburg and hes just sayin outright.. "I have some great pianos at home... no Steinways... but some great ones."

[mettoler]

and he was also Music Director of all his tours..

[mettoler]

Greg Phillinganes is also plays with Michael Jackson , bad , dangerous and HIStory tours..did you know that ?

[Aegis90]

and played with Eric Clapton for over a decade....

[mkniec]

Rachmaninoff Op. 3 No. 2 In C Sharp Minor, not Bach

[holtholt]

what is the number that he plays in a few sec. at 03:22

[Stools76]

Hold The Line - by TOTO

[tubist666]

Toto - Hold The Line

[jazzualdo]

No matter if it is Steinway (New York or Hamburg), Kawai, Yamaha, Bosendorfer, Bechstein etc. when it's OUT OF TUNE (like these pianos) it sounds like the worst upright piano.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Just Say Honky Tonk.

[teresahan1991]

what was the first song called? can anyone tell me please...

[teresahan1991]

what was the name of the first song.

[teresahan1991]

what was the name of the first song, can anyone tell me please....

[wilfredin]

Rachmaninoff Op. 3 No. 2 In C Sharp Minor

[rinsim]

ahaha bach second prelude in C minor (well tempered clavier)

[honeylee84]

it's Rachmaninoff's 2nd prelude in c# minor in the beginning

[erwydd]

Yes, but rinsim is correct also. Bach's second prelude in C minor does occur.

[IloveAlexisBledel689]

the jazz part at 1:12 is really nice! I'm learning how to improvise jazz, not easy... :S

[navdrum001]

one of my fave vids on you tube

[dmouret]

A great player !! I've discoverd him with toto 2006 tour

in south of France!! Very pleased

to know it's a TOTO member's Adventure !!!

[navdrum001]

damn i love that short run at 1:17 just hits the spot every time. i wish i could play that well, i mean, i have the physical abiity, i have very fast hands, but my theory is lightyears behind these guys, awsome impro/add lib

[corbinsilva]

can anyone tell me the name of the song that he is playing from 00:01 to 00:10 seconds? much thanks; blond wig better known as the chinaman lorenzo

[holtholt]

is it not just rachmaninoff?

[AznPianoDood]

woahh...

being in a room completely filled up by steinway's...

[YGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYG]

You guys sound, and look so GOOD!  LOL!

Steinway is a great piano, but Bosendorfer far surpasses them ALL. How do I know? I had one. "Had" because I finally sold it bc it was just too good for my mediocre playing, and the action was too fast for my slow fingers. I can type 100 w/m, but can't play the piano that way; unfortunately.

:(

'

[JPferax]

Very nice! Both musicians are amazing and Steinway is also great...

[InsaneSparrow]

Whoooa. Kinda makes you want to compose a song for 10 pianos. Crazy.

What I love about music for 2 pianos is the sound carries across and vibrates in the piano next to it, and vice versa. Sounds great in this room

[greenjazzer]

genius

[lindaadnil]

Greg is not only one of the most talented keyboard players out there, but also one of the most generous and humble people I know. And he is exceptionally funny!

[Treyvs]

Love Steinway's...Woo Hoo

[mouthw4sh]

wow, that song at 4:40ish-4:55ish was awesome. Anyone know what it was?

[Playgeer]

Yeah, I loved that too. Anyone?

[reveret1]

Greg is a genius. I knew he was great in High School. He could play anything! I feel fortunate to have known him.

[reveret1]

Hey, I went to Cass Tech HS and Wayne State University with Greg. He is a musical genius forever! Great seeing him playing the classics and jazz.
