without feeling

[jlarrys]

Very Very Good

[prodexit]

Oh great! Finally found what I was looking for. I am playing it also;)

Errol Garner had a "wave" in all his playing where his hands would move as a wave from left to right, giving the specific touch and (in lack of a better word) sound that both he and Thelonious Monk shared. I see the pianist here is somewhat doing that. If you get the right piano sound and drop a few "digital moments" in the playing, you'll be moving peoples feeling a lot more when playing Misty :-)

Hey pianossimo, my piano tuner jokingly calls my piano a harp-in-a-box. All pianos harps autoharps dulcimers etc, belong to the Zither family. And musicians can reconstruct sounds from symbols on a piece of paper written by someone from another place and another time! I think sheet music is like magic!

[pianossimo]

my god, please change your piano, it sounds like a harp. And this is jazz not classical music, try to play it freely and improvise without the sheet music.

[SSJBartSimpson]

no swing

[johnymarder]

I love the sound of your keyboard.

[suedebrat]

cherish the moment

[HarryCockenbalz]

Wow...that almost sounded professional! It should be played with more feeling and flow a lot more smoothly. You should check out the version done on youtube by "Time0207"

[acpgm]

great job

[Sipheria]

Perfectly executed.

[amscon]

I just love to listen to your music. I come to this site again and again. Would you be kind enough to play other pop songs? Thanks.

Hello Amscon,

I currently have multiple videos I'm working on which I'll be releasing within the next year, as time allows me (and Dean, my production guy) to work on them in between my piano teaching duties. Thanks for your comment.

[amscon]

Great music. Loved the way you played Misty. Would it be possible to get a copy of this arrangement? Like your student, I would love to learn how to play this piece. Thanks a lot.

[paulinewarjri]

Thank you for sharing this video. I feel that your approach is a tij too "classical". Avoid the use of too much pedal. A more detached approach and stressing on the off beats would be better

[mono1342]

The way it was played was perfect. Do not embellish it. Keep it simple. Thanks for playing it.

[Richymir]

i prefered your piano playing of this song very expressive and beautiful song sir, thanks for share your music.

[jimbomed]

Technically perfect but lacking in feeling.You should also credit the arranger who is Sy Johnson as this rendition in G-major was officially published in 1977 in "The Erroll Garner Songbook"

[justinsanner]

Thank you for your comments. There are so many different versions of Misty. I had thought of improvising on the piece but chose instead to play it exactly as written in the score. I will be adding a more elaborate and advanced version later on. It will be my own piano transcription of Misty. I appreciate your crediting Sy Johnson. I didn't credit him because he is not credited anywhere on the score I used (Warner Brothers Publications). The score says "Misty by Erroll Garner, piano solo."
