[MrDrewbies]

Can't wait till this guy tours with John Mayer

[boilermaker65]

@MrDrewbies and guess what: I just read that he will go on tour with John Mayer! Spring tour 2012 and hopefully after that too. Can't wait to see him in Europe this summer!

Thanks for posting this. The sheet music for Chuck Leavell's piano solo for "Jessica" can be found at manymidi.com/sheetmusic.htm - a note-for-note transcription.

This is really good...However this does need to be said...

"Tonight, On Top Gear..."

[impala327]

Man, I *still* get off on Chuck's playing on the "Wipe The Windows..." live ABB album. Southbound, Come and Go Blues, Don't Want You No More...

I love his spread fingering, block chord thang-it reiminds me of Red Garland. Subtle and swinging.

[Skydog5280]

Chuck, thank you for decade of wonderful piano solos and parts in so many classic songs that will endure forever. I am a guitar player and learned most of what I do from the Allman brothers of which you played a key role. Clapton is on this list too. I absolutely loved your piano parts for Old Love, WOW, and Layla, WOW again. You're the coolest man. jerry

[Lachausis]

Does anyone have the score sheet? I would love to learn to play this song

[musicisexpression23]

i live near him i met him

[Doumbeck]

Django was most popular in the 30's and 40's not 20's :)

[ecrocksmysocks]

wow

[12groney]

One of the most knowledgable pianists of all time. Great flow and execution. Check out his band Sea Level.

[pathfinderdaddy]

Sea Level is one of the most under rated band of all time and this I say sadly, for it had a groove that kept me listening to it over and over.

[12groney]

I think you can still download Sea Level on itunes. I had The original and "Cats On The Coast " on vinyl,but all my vinyl got thrown out one day by mom when I did a bad thing as a teenager.

[Gasten400]

damn I wanna see the rest of that video:'(

[Firetuna1]

Where is the rest of hte vdeo? it stops in the middle?

[Fanatic265]

What are the notes to the "melody" for keyboard/piano. Thanks :)

[boats696969]

I REALLY LIKE HIS STYLE

[scottwardbass]

Brothers and Sisters- a Classic. Produced by Johnny Sandlin. Sandlin and Chuck Leavell both Alabama guys

[ecrocksmysocks]

wow i had know idea that this song was influenced by django

[DictionRedaction]

Chuck Leavell is one very interesting dude, not your typical rock musician. I heard him on Mariann McPartland's Piano Jazz show on public radio. They did an absolutely terrific version of Jessica as a piano duet, and he hit it off really well with her--she's in her 90s now.

[CHANNELMICHAEL]

Top Gear!

[PMonterde]

It's a beautiful video, thanks.

[bammramm]

PLEASE does anyone has SEA LEVEL his band in mid/late 70.....That band is so good

[whywontthesework]

His sister goes to my church.

[artdisco]

Greatest Rock Pianist ever! This guy is the Eric Clapton of the piano, and much too under appreciated. Been a fan since I first heard Jessica and asked, "Who the hell is that playing the piano?!?"

[paganpigdance]

Best pianist in rock history!

[cjaelnegro]

[wasamareyu]

[lwplwp]

If anyone runs across any Sea Level videos I would LOVE to see them. Greatly UNDERRATED group...

[kbiss22]

I just discovered sea level.....life changing stuff.

[rhye999]

same here. Incredible band, there is a video on Chuck's official site. But i´d wish to see Rain In Spain

[Scotiadave]

straight in my favourites, thank'ee :)

[nlandess]

I effing love that man. Even those throw away licks that he plays to introduce the song - his playing is so damn lyrical, all the time.

[rhye999]

Hey man, do you have the DVD? I also have it , have you noticed that on the back covers says that the notation can be found interactive on Chuck's webpage.

Well I have never found it, do you?

[luislhg]

what dvd is it?
