ABRSM Grade 8 C:3 - King For A Day - Dave Brubeck

[chiwawatang]

you've probably got this perfected out now, since September, so I ain't gonna give crit.

HOWEVER, THANK YOU, DUDE. I cannot thank you enough; you are now helping me play this piece for my exam, and I'm sure many other pianists are using this to learn the piece. Never thought I'd say this to a pianist, but; You. Are. My. Hero.

@chiwawatang thanks so much man! if i could give criticism to myself playing this piece, and so to anyone learning from this, is that this is probably a bit stompy, should try make it slightly lighter, take more breaths, and more precision!

you need to pedal more...some parts are just too choppy and add more swing to it! more attitude!

[alleylovesmj]

sort out the rhythm. Jazz supposed to flow. not be perfect, otherwise it wouldn't be jazz or 'easy swing' as it says. BUT you do play it welll

[cruzer1221]

thats really gd man :) u need to add a swing to the piece to achieve its jazziness... and rhythm after the octaves near the end was wrong. Otherwise that was very good compared to other videos of this piece :)

@joehill961 not bad but no dynamics ? Also it is like you are dead work more on the dynamics and the jazz feeling of the song xD ( i am grade 8 don't give me a fuck )
