Fascinating and entertaining insights from a man who is obviously in complete command of the instrument and the music he's playing, and his passion for it comes shining through.. brilliant! Thanks so much for posting :)

Um, this is not playing correctly.  Too bad; I need a lesson desperately.

[IndependentGeorge76]

Semplicemente Fantastico. Le tue mani riesco a trasmette qualcosa che ha dell'incredibile. Io adoro J.R.Morton!E tu con il tuo tocco riesci a renderlo ancor più unico.

Complimenti...

Dick Hyman's lessons are the most incredible way to understand the endless possibilities of left hand bass lines...speccialy for amateur keybord players... it's defenitly a new horizon.Thank you very much for this enterprise!

"It seems as though he's trying to play an entire New Orleans marching band"

Yeah no foolin Dick! I tried playing this stuff. Big mistake. The syncopation's a killer. Anyhow, thanks to Dick for that fascinating glimpse into the "signature" Jelly Roll sound.

[KawhackitaRag]

FANTASTIC playing, though!

[KawhackitaRag]

I should point out that the device of playing the melody under the harmony notes in the right hand is by no means limited to Jelly Roll, nor did it originate with him. It was a staple of popular ragtime (cf. Albert Gumble, etc.) for years, as well as being particularly favored by the Indiana area ragtime composers (Julia Niebergall, Will Morrison, etc). Part of the allure of this device is the percussiveness of the static harmony notes drumming in rhythm with the moving melody line.

[credman]

Yeah, each of these elements by itself isn't unique to Morton, it's the particular way in which they all come together that is.

[pianoman1974]

fantastic playing. i am mostly a classical piano player. tried playing this sort of music but way out of my depth. amazing to listen though. thank you

[Morahman7vnNo2]

LOL Everybody!

Sounds just like old Ferd himself. By the way, were Mickey's nephews, Ferdy and Morty named after Ferdinand Morton?

Very Enjoyable Music
