how long have you been learned piano ?

[jazznbear]

@kevin780313

I took my first piano lesson when I was 11 years old. Then went into classical piano. By the time I went into college I majored in music theory and composition. I have been a professional full time pianist since I was 16 years old.

[mireillechamberland]

wow you'r so amazing ...Nothing else to add!!

[JadeiteGracie]

fantastic. one neat thing about this video that is cool is the darkness of the lights and the dark jacket he is wearing .. almost makes the hands appear to be just floating and have no arm .. like that hand from Adam's Family . very cool vid and great playing!

[lukisspure]

Jim you are professional piano player. Bravo! And also this is my favorite piece you play on youtube. Keep up the good work!

[jazznbear]

Thank you for listening and I am glad that you are enjoying this piece.

Yes, I am a professional piano player. This is what I have done for a living since I was a teenager.

[lukisspure]

Jim it's me, Uran.

[jazznbear]

Hello from Martha and myself.

[narcibeo20]

[Xqwrtz]

"it would be wrong to say that you have piano talent"

little bastard, just a petty "alsorun" heh?

[misskittie1313]

"it would be wrong to say you have piano talent" ???

would it be wrong of me to assume 1991 is your birthyear? come back and make comments after you have atleast 20 years piano experience under your belt! lol!

[jazznbear]

Yes ma'm!

Would it be wrong of me to assume that you are the MissKittie of the "Gunsmoke" series???? LOL

Thanks for listening!

[misskittie1313]

... maybe so, maybe so! ;) love listening to you play- thanks for posting.

[swamperzhu]

it's JAZZ!

[DrJobs]

WoW

[ypfong]

Hi there,

Can you tell me where I can find the notes?

Thank you so much :-)

[teresahan1991]

it would be wrong to say that you have piano talent, but it would be right to call you a professional jazz piano player. you know what you play.

[teresahan1991]

sounds like music.

[aleap9000]

Bravissimo!!!!

[ksjayhawk01]

All right. I want them ALL. All my life, I avoided the word jazz like the plague but then I got hooked on Scott Joplin. After that, I discovered the Jelly Roll & James P. Johnson. Then I found you on youtube and found Eubie, etc. I know I'm probably a minority, but I wish you had all these recordings online also available on cd. I really enjoy your work.

[jazznbear]

Keep checking our website. There are at least five new recordings in the works. Hopefully 3 of them will be available by summer. Jazz is America's great contribution to the world. It is uniquely American. It is the result of the blending of our shared musical heritage. Dave and Iola Brubeck said it best in their jazz musical in the 50's...jazz musicians are America's "real ambassadors".

[alesbroglio]

can do you tell me where i can find the "musical notes" (or "score" i don't know how do you say it) of big fat ham?? thanx

[alesbroglio]

complimenti sei troppo bravo

[herrwilhelm]

I like those fast octaves. So did Jelly. We both thank you!
