Your rendition is probably the nicest of the jazz renditions of this beautiful song on YouTube.
I wonder why no one plays it simply and elegantly on the piano though, without other instruments? I would love to hear a solo piano play it like the ballad it was meant to be, and not a jazz piece.
It's a Steinway, nothing less! Don't get many opportunities for playing on one of those though. And thanks for the compliments. Hopefully some more videos will be going up soon.
Hey, I've just turned 18 i'm applying to the royal academy to do jazz this year, i was just wondering firstly whether this performance (which was very good) was good enough to get in, and if so how you are finding it. Thanks.
COOL!!!!!

Your playing is very well controlled and tastefull. You should be admitted on full scholarship!

Thanks! I take inspiration from your own videos. I would just be very glad to be awarded a place - I have so much to learn.

Nice play. Good skills. Enough knowledge of theory. Try to go out of yourself sometimes :-)Let something unpredictable happen.

If you mean playing 'outside', that's something I'm working on!
