Dolphin Dance - Herbie Hancock

[mrfingazgotbeats]

very nice

[90vinnie]

Very good playing :D

[mkuyumji]

It sounds really good, but if I were you, I would work more fingering including the pinky. You didn't use it not even once, through the whole tune. It doesn't affect this tune, but will affect your playing in the future.

[isaiahangelo]

@mkuyumji This video was several years back and since then my fingering skills have improved

[stokedstudioschicago]

Great video, I just played bass along to the whole thing and it was very awesome.

[isaiahangelo]

@stokedstudioschicago would like to hear how that sounds

[batman2k9]

this is soooo freakin dope!!!! you did this by ear? or sheet music?

[sirjection]

Ah, pretty cool. It sounds slightly cautious to me, but you've got more than enough to put on a good show.

[gbgoul]

Real nice!

[jvbencze]

Love the Herbie quote at 4:31! Sounds great and the piano has a nice tone as well.

[tapyenreit]

Pretty dam good--of course it's one of my favorites!

[JazzySaxE]

very good. i was looking for the original song but cant find it... everyone does their own version on go out of the song so much!

im also a jazz piano student!

[blendingbone]

I think the original is on heribie's "maiden voyage" album

[sirjection]

@blendingbone -

That's exactly right. It was an ocean-themed album of originals, including its most famous title track.

I would complain that they don't make them like that anymore, but I hope that I'm just ignorant.

[dnvigerjr]

Great work, beautiful! Light touch, swings, good voicings, nice solo runs. Where do you play? Are you university student?

[isaiahangelo]

yes I am a student

[capedmarauder]

Subtle choices and selections. Thanks!

[lars1993k]

In which kind of clay/tone is this song played?

[insolentlyinnocent]

I love the way you know her

[dmudigdo]

Love the relaxed smooth time feel and the touch! Awesome...

[pascalsou]

Excellent! J'adorre ce thème. Bravo!

[Lot2learn]

Very nice indeed! I've always loved this song. Great voicings! Keep up the good work and post some more stuff!

[thesidewinder911]

Fantastic, man. Keep it up. I presume you have hear Fingerpainting - The Music of Herbie Hancock, with Christian McBride, Nick Payton, and Mark Whitfield. If not, check it out dude. I will try and post some of my videos (I play jazz trumpet), and hopefully you can check those out. Sounds killing man!

[jazzman1988]

I usually don't comment any video here in youtube, in fact, this is the first one. You have a really nice swing, groove, whatever you like to call it. And nice piano by the way. Best wishes

[dnvigerjr]

Great voicings. Your hands look as though you are young, perhaps in high school. Keep it up. Contact the UNLV Jazz Dept. if you haven't decided on a jazz studies program yet.

[dannyboy15]

really good! much more like herbie hancock than the other renditions of this i've seen

nice phrasing

[isaiahangelo]

estute observation lol...I actually quoted Herbie's 3 in 4 lick in the solo that he did from the original recording at about 4:27

[courageux28]

was just wondering if you learned this piece from reading it or by ear?...either way your playing is brilliant!

[isaiahangelo]

learned it by ear

[THETRUTHISLIKESOAP]

@isaiahangelo

I am very impressed by your soulful playing.....How long have you been playing for?

Which 3 pianists have influenced you the most?

Which 3 albums would you recommend me to buy?

[jazzis779]

Your chops are great man. You've definatly got the Herbie vibe down in your solo. You're taking some liberties with the time but that may be intentional so whatever. Are you a pro?

[isaiahangelo]

I wish I were a pro lol.

[sheripoo]

super!

[isaiahangelo]

Thank you. I'll be posting more in the future

[insolentlyinnocent]

I thought it was GREAT! I admire your talent! Keep at it. You have a gift.
