Summertime - Craig Smith Piano - improvisation

[FaszanatasRodrigues]

Fett!!! ("I really like it") ;-)

[timmay301]

great playing, absolutely great. I couldn't do it. I did not like the bass sound, a frettless would have been nicer, it has a little bit to much air in it like it's a 1000 pound panflute. But the playing was awesome.

[alenushka33]

Do you ever play anywhere near the San Diego area. We would love to come out and

hear you live. If not, what city are you near. Great Playing! It's so right!!

[goldeneddie]

Craig this is fantastic! I'm listening to it again and again because it really is something special. You've excelled the original and updated it! Please keep uploading your stuff - you've made my day.

[bigboloks]

Great feel, nice and funky. A tiny bit messy around 2.40 ish during the solo.

Being supercritical as listener here, because overall it was a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for sharing it.

[Rhodes1978]

Great vibe. I like the use of major chords where typically minor chords would be used. Really inspiring, dude.

[WILLEMKIDD]

Love the bass riff and changes. Very fresh. Like your demeanor as well.

[WILLEMKIDD]

[CraigSmithPiano]

thanks very much for the comments. Best wishes, Craig.

[stimey105]

How do u play like that? did u ever take jazz piano lessons?

[tothemax91]

No, you dont learn, you just feel it. Some can, and some just cant. Lessons can teach you the scales and stuff but the tunes come from yourself, its just your ability to play the piano that might restrict, lol, shame for some of us

[kelley42arr]

You know what, this is about the first good improvisation i came along when i searched for summertime improvisations... lots o' them are just totally worthless -- people thinking they can play piano, and they CANT.

came out messy, but still very nice!

bye!

[ewmarsto]
