This is not simply God given talent, this is thousands upon thousands of hours of practice...

[CBRLeventCBR]

3:06-3:30

[blackaries]

WHAT THE F?~!!!

[gilly1961]

Thats what you call a left hand right there!!! Sick.

[tmg1968]

Just like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake would play it. They should be flipping burgers at McDonalds while this kid rakes in millions. What an ass backwards culture America has developed. God bless this kid! Keep jazz alive!

[chokedupinside]

amen!

[freeqwerqwer]

America didn't develop this kid. He was a kid from Russia who learned jazz on his own listening to Oscar Peterson records and others. His family immigrated to the US in his mid-teens to get him closer to jazz, but, unfortunately didn't know that Jazz is more in vogue in Europe..

[rhstsoccer]

@freeqwerqwer jeez get your facts straight he was born in Kyrgyzstan came to the US first to attend Interlochen arts camp. He lived in Kansas City where my friends gave him a car (that was lucky cause now he is super famous)(my piano teacher's daughter now goes to the same school and is also prodigious at violin) And he began learning piano from his parents at age 3 not by himself listening to jazz records. dude come on at least make and effort to get it right!!! (half kidding and using sarcasm)

[demosj]

@freeqwerqwer Too bad for Europe. :)

[cbmuzik]

@tmg1968

agreed!!!

[erikisimo]

@tmg1968 As much as I am a firm believer in the fact that talent like this should be more appreciated in our society (being a jazz piano performance major myself) don't talk shit like you could do what justin timbarlake does... thats hard work too... and he's sick. Jazz isn't relevant anymore dog... I know its blasphemy... but thats the way it is. You might as well enjoy it... "I'm bringin sexy back..." uh! get it JT!

[Hania454]

@tmg1968 Great comment.

[MisterSW]

@tmg1968 that, seriously, is the funniest, intelligent, perfectly sarcastic comment I've seen on youtube in months lol ... I agree

[megagavelli]

@tmg1968 u shud scheck out justin timberlake " futuresex live at madison square garden" vids/dvd.. hes an extremely talented individual...his touch on the fender rhodes is impeccable... inl honesty, timberlake can come much closer to this performance of eldar's than elder could come to that performance of timberlake... this seriously isnt intended to be sarcastic, timberlake really is a great performer/musician/singer, im positive that you'd enjoy it

[raslerd]

@megagavelli This comment just made me seriously angry for a moment, then I calmed myself by coming to the conclusion that 99.5% of people in world don't know musical and/or have not developed an "ear".

Sorry bro, but you are way off base.

[megagavelli]

@raslerd did you watch the timberlake at msg concert? if not how could you be seriously angry & say that Im off base? if u watch the concert and come to the same conclusion i will admit in a second that i was wrong..however if you were to actually watch the concert and compare his level of his singing,piano/rhodes/ guitar playing,dancing,showmanship, improvisation and songwriting in whole to this performance by eldar.-the fact is he can come closer to this than eldar could ever come to that.

[megagavelli]

@raslerd and that is not to take anything away from eldar as he is for sure a prodigious talent, as is justin timberlake----and to say that justin timberlake is talentless and should be flipping burgers at mcdonalds while eldar makes millions, as the above poster suggested should be the case, is absolutely absurd... why does it bother certain types of people to accept and or admit that SOME pop stars are in fact truly talented?

[rhstsoccer]

Eldar inspired to me play piano (especially jazz) and to attend Interlochen Arts Camp. Thank you so much and well done!!!

[10ccdd]

[SphericSenseS]

[willthethrill129]

[fuben0]

I heared him live at Birdland in Hamburg and it really was the most amazing concert I ever have heared. He (and also his trio) is unbelievable!

[XysteRST205]

[OrientExpressMB]

It's practice, and studying scales nothing impossible.

[XysteRST205]

[daymc10]

[jazzdog2]

R.I.P. oscar... just bought eldars CD and he's crazy fast so no hope of trasncribing anything for me

[Saxyman14]

You can slow it down, or, theres always the trusty "Stop saying you can't and just try it already" technique. Works for me almost every time.

[sotosyoung]
