[7notemode]

@BASKETBALLJEZUS Thank you so much!

[QSengupta]

@BASKETBALLJEZUS woah slow down there buddy. This is a good recording but Keith Jarrett is one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time, some might even consider him to be the best of all time. your really good tho 7note :)

[BASKETBALLJEZUS]

@QSengupta cool so you mean keth jarrett is the michael jordan of the jazz pianists :p

[MrPeregrines]

I second that ... AS GREAT AS KEITh JARRETT

[BASKETBALLJEZUS]

@MrPeregrines yeah common you can't say he's bad he's verry good i yust say that a a compliment you know ;)

[streetskating123]

i loved the tone of your piano! so gritty and bright with bass and tight voicings!

[audelinom]

You make it sound so effortless. When I see your playing, I see as musician that have amazing sensibilities but also great control over what you are doing. Each note seems really well thought out and yet nothing sounds mechanical. Would love to play someday like you do.

[7notemode]

@audelinom Thanks!

[Roots567]

Genius. Thanks bro.

[scootergreen3]

Hi 7note. I have the knack for playing the piano but when I was young I didn't study the keyboard and I keep missing notes when I learn by ear. I keep missing notes even after going over it for months. I have an excellent ear for music. I play guitar. I don't read music but I'm learning. My question: How can I keep from missing notes? I played the guitar all my life and have the same problem. Will reading music help?

[Malimovic]

what a madness about how he plays the bass really cool

[s2p3r]

thanks for playing this tune.keep it up

[ARAbadabing]

That was sick bra, love that kind of music. Wish I could play the piano like that.

[EddieLandsberg]

Great LH comping ! ! ! 

[padfootnprongs49]

This is phenomenal! I only wish I was that good....

[eosuchian]

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us!

[Dontaking2008]

Your playing reminds me of Billy Taylors playing style, when he plays solo piano. I Love it.

[GeneralVariety]

Brilliant!

[guitarpicka1]

Very..Very Cool...This is a wonderful song ...all of us Jazz players love to play...sadly the `general public`out there don`t get it ...only those who are hip can appreciate Victor Young`s genius...nicely played Man..!!

[rowanhudsonmusic]

Brilliant. If it took me a lifetime to play like that it'd be time well spent.

[scootergreen3]

Hi 7notemode. I want to play this type of jazz. So what chords and scales should I learn. Do I need to learn all the scales?

scootergreen3

[egnerek]

It's nice, of course, but sounds bit fake.

[komentattor]

Beautiful! Walking, voicings, scales, timing, taste - you have it all. Maybe some day i'll get it all together too :)

[upNyaBizznizz]

i think you missed a note, but other than that it was worth the 6:36 TAX!

haha jk

you made me think of Walt Disney's 100 Dalmatians :p

[paxwallacejazz]

so clear clean economical airy cool no slop pedal dig the left hand very cool in both ways

[lafontanaverdez]

amazing!

the change in tempo makes it much more moving i think

enjoyed it thoughrougly

[scootergreen3]

Your playing reminds me so much of Vince Guaraldi. That is why I like to hear you so much. I hope you try some Peanuts, Charlie Brown songs. You would do that Brilliantly. Thanks Mike

[7notemode]

scootergreen3

Guaraldi is great! Thanks.

[Seobis]

incredible. hope i reach that level of playing some day

[7notemode]

@Seobis

Thanks so much!

[MrTartaruga543]

I love jazz piano. Good job!

[JuneBee55]

I want to marry 7notemode! This is one of my favourite tunes of all time, that and Round Midnight.

[Quincy910]

Wow, wonderful! Completely inspirational. Love it

[penachi]

TeraWonderful!!

[sailorloveyou]

[severelyaddictedgal]

Can you do a tutorial for this? oh and if you can do a jazzed up Tenderly i'd love it. :D

I'm exploring jazz these days and I learn from Youtube vids. Help me out :))

[10solidrocks]

Done exceedingly well! I have enjoyed listening! Will look for your name often!

[daybreakertam]

Oh I love this. I wish I could play like that. :)

[cursestar]

there sure is a lot of music going on here. your playing is very multifaceted, and damn enjoyable too. you really should gig. I'd go to see you, and buy your records too.

[7notemode]

Hey, thanks, cursestar!

[Jigov]

this sounds great, but most i like Erroll Garner's Stella by Starlight. really, for me thats the truth,

[Coltranized]

I lover the lower register of your piano!

[7notemode]

Thanks!

[unicee514]

GREAT. I love how you soloed with the walking bassline. i'm practicing it these days, and it does require a lot of practice. thank you for uploading this!

[7notemode]

My pleasure unicee514. I'm glad you liked it.

[silentthawk]

i love coming across music like this on youtube...thank you for posting this!

[bazz991]

I love your controll at 1:28-1:32 the g on top =) Haha, go the octave's!

[HomeComingPrisoner]

that's perfect.

[ncguy28348]

your runs are so crisp and clean!!!! Truly a masterpice in composition and execution.

[SeanDeMoor]

Is there a piano sheet ?

[7notemode]

Sorry, no sheet music.

[doothless]

No one should have this much talent! Keep up the good work.

[7notemode]

Ha! Thanks, doothless.

[7notemode]

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments.

[factionxvt408x]

smooth. MAN! this just flows!

[localpm]

Fantastic what a great player.

[gst69man]

Ferd

[lorvil]

Woow!!

[agt200]

Waow!!! Great harmonization of the theme! And your solo is excellent! Thank you!!

[sayalaperbandel]

mastrer

[scootergreen3]

You should be playing for the Queen, 7notemode!

Jazz is not easy to play. You are even more incredible than I first thought.

How do you have time to answer your mail. You

have numerous comments. Keep up the wonderful music 7notemode.

Mikie D.

[Jigov]

altho my favorite version is Eroll Garner's i like this too.

[nathanmickle]

Very tasteful. Thanks.

[Modes9]

The tribute to Tristano (about 2:45) alone would have been worth the price of admission!

[7notemode]

Tristano is the best. Thanks, Modes9

[Jigov]

ouu.. thats pretty nice, i like your version and the new arangement. I have showed very good technique and skills, good job.

[pixelninja3000]

nice, but seems really safe and pretty.

[PianoPopular]

nice interpretation: touch, rythm, percussive attacks, meter, choice of notes,

do you have learning materials available?

this video is a quality lesson on jazz improv. piano playing. not so complicated as to be impossible to follow but at a high level still.

thanks for sharing your knowledge. many musicians will be grateful for this post, especially musicians in places of the world where there is lack of good models, teachers like you.

[Lot2learn]

Excellent comment. I agree with on all aspects 100%! It demonstrates a thorough understanding of harmony, rhythms and above all a wonderful sense of self-expression through music. This is a confident performance with advanced jazz techniques, musically satisfying and accessible.

[PianoPopular]

thanks. i forgot to mention the supporting melodic bits on the left hand, voiced with chords at times.

nice video to learn from.

[7notemode]

Thanks PianoPopular

[fusetheband]

reminds me of new orleans that is legit jazz.

[ryanbbkssss]

太喜歡爵士音樂ㄌ

[dcstudio]

LOVE IT!!!!! great voicings, and what a piano. Wish I could walk a bassline like that. where did you go to school? You've got jazz studies major written all over you.

[7notemode]

Thanks dcstudio, not a music major, just long time player.

[dcstudio]

yeah but you've had some training, no doubt my friend. I'm a long time player as well (40 years). I just love the way you are so clean, no mud, and such great phrasing. the LH solo is awesome. I play both classical and jazz--though I admit my style differs from yours. :)

[EoN604]

Fantastic :)

[kuleventil]

"Have i told u lately that" u got the nerve that a lot of musicians is missing?

[7notemode]

Thx kuleventil

[claitontesch]

very good stuff

[scootergreen3]

You are a professional!!!!!!!!!!!

Mikie D

[ShowinYaHow]

You could easily play this at a restaraunt and I wouldn't think anything of it... Meaning this sounds awesome.

[scootergreen3]

That is what I say. People would love to listen to 7notemode anytime, anywhere.

[Skyblueginger]

Like a bad case of 'Swing Flu' I might add. Thanks for sharing yet again Mr 7note

[Skyblueginger]

Yes this is awesome. Caught the Swing of ya on that one. ACE

[7notemode]

I appreciate the comments, Kdyblueginger.

[vanishoggola]

Great,great,great. It's a pleasure to see and hear how you let the music come to life!

[7notemode]

Thanks, vanishoggola.

[JimmieBluffdweller]

Man, you can play in the pocket so well.

[7notemode]

Thx JimmieB!

[sammywilloe]

Wow, your excellent. I'm impressed man. I'd expect to see this at a concert! Great job!!

[7notemode]

Thanks sammywilloe

[queen1414]

[lalijew]

i'm speechless :-)

[cursestar]

great stuff! I would've paid money to see that.

[grayson75]

Always love to hear you play, very nice! Would you consider doing a video of ,'Faure's Pavane Op. 50'? Brian Auger played a version and it had a great jazz feel, it would suit your style.

[rorosesaintmath]

just ... Thanks

[7notemode]

Thank you back.

[Jazzwayze]

You are still among the best 88'ers on the Tube..

Great stuff.

JW

[7notemode]

Thx, Jazzwayze.

[579461sf]

I'd like to learn playing piano like this. Did you learn this tune by listening to it or with a music sheet?

[7notemode]

It is improvised. No sheet music.

[davispartan]

-dances- <3

[barcanard]

Damn...

[nitekatt2007]

Yeah, that's my kind of jazz piano I like listening too. 7note, what is your process to record these videos. Are you miking the piano to a web cam, mixer. it sounds very clear. Some of the acoustic piano videos on youtube sound terrible.

Post more tunes when you play them, thanks.

[7notemode]

I record the audio separately with high quality mic's and then add the audio track to the video on a Mac. Thanks.

[PianoPopular]

thank you.

more please...to make life easier.

[yahyasalamtea]

swinging pisan!

[soulsuckers1]

Really Amazing!! May i get somwhere the notes for that??

[7notemode]

Thanks soulsuckers1. Unfortunately, I don't have a transcript for this. I will put it on my list. Thanks for the comment.

[thebigguns51807]

[Trinitione]

[pennprodigy]

[Simonomon2]

I've always wanted to play like this, but it's very difficult to teach yourself. I've done a decent job so far, though.

[TroubleinZION]

Teach me !

[cool594]

i wanna play like this. :)

[bugatti103]

Very good playing sound technique... have a look at my Billy Joel numbers.

[shephronqpan]

Thank you. What a beautiful mind work.

[Shazbut01]

Terrific. What a technique

[maranomarcelo]

Si Si .....lui ha tutte tue le condizioni di suonare solo o con Band....

Ciao ....e w la musica...ogni giorno mi rendo conto che bisogna studiare...e pure suono da tanti anni

[joelindsfresh]

This is incredible!

[xGutturaLoungex]

You have nice, laid back time. I dig it.

[Motifator61]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your beautiful and tasty rendition of Stella. I now have to listen to all of your youtube music videos!!! Thank you and keep up the wonderful playing. Best wishes.

[maranomarcelo]

Bravissimoooooo che farei per suonare cosi...complimenti

[mxdblessing]

anch'io. non vedo l'ora di suonare cosi bene! ma solo una cosa--non mi e` una rendizione soloistica. penso che lui ha suonato quasi come si dovrebbe suonare con un trio, che ne pensi tu?

[madTheDamned]

huge notes :) gg

[carloselbailador]

what a great plastic movement

[belizefan]

thanks for posting! keep up the great work... very didactic!

[lorvil]

Thank you for your master class! the left hand, the chords, all it´s perfect

[MontgomerylandFunk]

very nice. I wish there were more players around my town like this.

[mrjonathannielsen]

i love your style. I am a decent jazz pianist but want to learn how to do more solo jazz piano stuff. Any suggestions

[Modes9]

I love the walking bass section and the comping in general. It's a great change of pace from the "locked-hands" approach most guys use who interpret this style. I salute your courage to try a different way.

[musicguy291]

that was great! love your voicing of the flat#11 chord on the bridge of the melody

[mel1001]

I am most impressed. This from an old jazz solo piano buff.

[goffmark]

yeah thats nice

[CescoFlux]

I've never heard an solo player like you!! Do you have done already an solo CD? Youre great

[groovatious]

Nice playing mate! Swell chords :D Keep up the good work!

[alenochka3]

it is so beautiful! Thank you sharing with us what God gave you, great talent!

Elena

[NeilCasual]

ye nice.. I notice that you're more into bebop in your improvisations.. but that's all fine ! your version of stella is cool !
