  • that's very-very interresting!

  • Hi, very well played! I like it a lot. Would you mind listening to my attempt on this same track? Perhaps you could give me some tips. You can find it on my channel. Thanks in advance.

  • thankyou so much :) helped me with my playing a lot :)

  • great stuff!!

  • just fine!!!!!!

  • fiera

  • i laughed at sack the drummer

    CHANGING TO STICKS FOR NO REASON!!!

    also holy damn great pianist

  • nevermind, found em =P

  • which chords you play in left hand during octave melodies?

  • have u try to play songo in blue bossa?

  • "sack the drummer" :-)

  • nice, they say jazz musicians never mess up only cover up. You played like you never messed up so good job.

  • The best! Thank you for putting this on here! What a gift: talent and sharing!

  • I have learned so much , thanks a million

  • it's pretty good that my only thing is that i thought the is supposed to be in a bossa nova/latin style hence the name blue BOSSA

  • fantastic

  • ya you're right

    it is more than 88 keys

    probably 100 sumthing

    well anyways, the improvisation

    is good.

    maybe a bit too slow?

  • it may just be me, but the piano seems really big... like more than the reg 88 keys...

  • very musical playing, and humorous comments

  • awesome,i wish i could play like that!!!

  • beautiful

    but it is pity, that you took a "swing style" instead of a bossa nova, latinstyle (blue boosa)

    but nevertheless: beautiiiiiful

  • Hey Doug, you're a beautiful player. It's very nice that you put this stuff out there for us. Cheers!!!

  • Terrific job of explaining how you built your performance of this piece. Sometimes its tough showing newer players just how to perform and improvise, but you did a great thing by telling what you were doing at each stage.

  • very nice, I feel like I'm in a cafe'~that is a compliment

  • Hi Doug,

    I looked for this midi file on your website, but found when I transcribed it, that it is another version. Do you have a midi of this video performance? I love your style and would like to study it with the help of the transcription as well as by watching your hands on the keys. Please give me directions to the midi of this actual improvisation if you have it. Great playing and a wonderful educational tool!

    Cheers, John Keller

  • Just beautiful! Hope to make an Express Stave transcription of your stuff to learn and teach from. Thanks for your music.

  • I don't even play the piano(wish I did) but I love watching/listening to your videos. Love your style of improv.

  • Great teaching.

  • awesome. can u provide other song? thx.. X))

  • HAHA, sack the drummer... Good sense of humour, as well as being an excellent eductional material

  • is the dominant thing (oscar peterson), literally just hitting the dominant after the II V when it goes tonic, as if theres been a pedal over the II V? Does this work on major II V's as well?

  • thanks for the great lessons..im listening again and again..im trying to find a bass and drums accompaniment cd....does anyone know where they are available? do you post your accompaniament tracks only also?

  • Very interesting. I learned something. enjoyed the music and was made to smile by the honest and self-deprecating comments overlaid. A VERY useful addition to my little collection of tutorial videos. MERCI!

  • Do hope you caught the Sergio Mendez interviews. He would have approved of your playing. Did I mention "Variations on a Theme"?. The old runner from Mermaid Beach.

  • groovay!

  • omg one of my favorite classics!
