[sSSFNn]

Классно,молодец))

[paolocongia]

....una sistematina all'accordatura?

[RoseForTheApocalypse]

i like this version more than the original

[sommaarturo]

the piano is quite out of tune...but I like this interpretation..good job man!

[liechtenstein11]

this is awesome :) i love this piece and you add soo much to it :) this iw what i call ragtime.

[writers0n]

Man i really like your style.. i will practice your style ! but it seems this piano needs to be tuned, some keys disturbing me. is there any of your record with another piano ?

[MrTomasJefferson]

Perfecto! I Enjoy every time.

[CoolWorldMusic]

@Boogiewoogiekid You have such a great sense of relaxed precision. The arrangement is great, and you perfectly capture the mood. Wow.

[TheMorodin]

great rendition, but that piano is wretched and makes me cringe.

[WestrnEcho]

this settles this. It's the next piece I'm learning on the piano!

[congressman92maxwell]

0:28 the most haunting part of the whole song

[rocbotttum67]

That was INSANE DUDE!!!! Great job!!!

[Smoothenbol]

This pianoman sounds soooo freaking good!

[Xarqooo]

Modern Crave)



[ineedmorenaruto]

i'll open a bar if you play piano full time

[silversheath2]

When I listen to you play this song, I can't focus on anything else. The feeling behind this is absolutely striking, excellent excellent performance!

[Lexibear429]

This is fucking great. That's all.

[TeddyEdy93]

this is the drunk version of the song, but I like it :))

[ntarlas]

Great job !!!!! but you have changed it a lot .. and thats not the crave :S but is a very beautifull remix of the crave and jazz music :D

[TommyDai1]

plz tune your piano!

[Reshik33]

who's the bust of?

[markushne]

Wow! very good job guy!!! =)

[rocker2499]

to think i can play this song and then this version.... NICE :))

[olgeorge1]

Wow, it sounds great indeed

[Arturito28]

tuning the piano... please

[Timothee16]

Bien joué déja que le morceau est top a la base, sympa d y mettre un peu de piquant :) Joli

eu par contre le piano désacordé c fait expré ou ? ^^

[brockleeification]

This is one of those songs that gives me goosebumps whenever i listen to it, just sounds that good to me. Just wish i didnt have to keep going to the computer to hit repeat. I really hope you put this on a cd, i'd buy it even if this were the only track.

[Pianoninja924]

Wow, this version is so amazing. I absolutely love it! Looks like I'll have to learn this one too! :D

[rogerstill71]

That choppy rhythm must be a bear to keep, like ".44 Blues". (If you've done that, I haven't found it yet, but that's probably because I keep getting sidetracked by all the other great stuff you do. Keep it rolling!

[Spartan1979]

I keep seeing Tom Waits when I hear you playing this. Awesome stuff, man.

[yoyo199031]

first learn and than take video :D

[AvatarOfBlues]

@yoyo199031 why you say something like that? do you really think that he should learn more on that piece?

[DylHsu]

@yoyo199031 heh, you got nothing on this guy

[AvatarOfBlues]

I'm totaly in love with your strong bass line!

Very nice Interpretation - i reaaaaally love it!

It kinda sounds spooky but veeeeeeeeeeery amazing! Keep it on ;)

[MrLouisfabre]

Excellente version, chapeau!

[zukvan]

bellissima interpretazione!

[FDStLz]

very good

really must be the sound when you entering in a dark bar where they play jazz:p

[Pr0no0b]

Maybe it's just my ears, but that piano sounds detuned :/

Anyway, great playing :D

[Vincenzification]

original

[Aficionados9]

Brilliant! Can u upload sheet music for this?

[Alexx1879]

i think he cant because its half improvisation

[kosher333]

great!!!!!!!!

[0ooRiannAoo0]

im 12, i played this in the Young Classical Musicians of Britain. I came 2nd! Morton is my idol <3

[jakeybarb]

this is by far the best version on YouTube

[dellee69]

That is sick, I play in a famous rock band and I am in love with this song and would love to ROCKINIZE it but I have to say this guy is just plain sick on this tune, very well done.

[Jamilammar]

That's gangster.

[xxboss21xx]

Simply amazing. Monstrous!! From the South of Italy. Morton would be glad to listne to you, though he was not the most gentle musician of the 1900. I wish you all the best, and thank you once more for playing. I would give everything away only to play once as you have played. STUPENDO.

[AcidHead27]

would you give away your own piano?

[MrTroublesome1987]

Woooow... thats some fukcing genial version. Man, I saw your consert version of this song, you've got much better, but hey - this one here is also very huge, beautiful, you're the best

[DasGavinator]

just started listening to this type of music like a month ago and I really like this song. Your version is my favorite on Youtube.

It looks like you were gifted with pretty dense facial hair. If I were you I'd shape it into some cool mutton chops or something

[dsafdsgfdt]

impresionante

[AlbinWesterlind]

Great! Cool version!

[Burnsomatic]

Great, Matt! I love it! Your groove is always great.

[TuanDinhVu]

Wow, you are terrific! I don't see why you don't have more views!

[Dontbustthecrust]

This is my favorite song ever. Your version is really really good. My only suggestion is that you get your ass in a studio and record this for real.

[BluRondoAlaTurk]

deep breath and exhale.. bravo! Thats one of the finest versions I have ever heard.. nice tweaking. very cool and smooth.

[smalldancer69]

@Dontbustthecrust totally agree!:)

[Dontbustthecrust]

You know a piece is going be good if there is a bust of Mozart on the piano. Thanks for not disappointing. very very good stuff.

[defana]

This is so much darker than the most popular version. I like it.

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Thank you!

[ahmad111877]

@Boogiewoogiekid that shit was great man i like the xtra roll and rythm u put into it

[fbozant]

@Boogiewoogiekid

I am Jelly Roll's great nephew. Thanks for keeping his music alive. Frank Bozant (310-293-0084)

[teresahan1991]

Dude! It's Awesome! 5 stars!!

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Thank You!

[teresahan1991]

Is this your own version? Very interesting.

You never know what's coming next, that's what I like best about it.

[Boogiewoogiekid]

yeah - pretty much - but I kept the main melodies in there from the recording so it's still recognizable- thanks for watching - Matt

[teresahan1991]

oh, it's very easy to recognize the piece through your playing.

Just a few extra notes can make it so unique.

[fromileen]

Wow, nice job!

[Boogiewoogiekid]

thank you!

[ZAGJAG]

An awesome song! I first heard it on "The Legend of 1900" a movie basically about a piano player but features a piano duel between "1900" and Jelly Roll himself. I'm sure you've seen the movie but if not... man o' man are you in for a treat!

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Yes I've seen it - it is an awesome song I think - I've changed it up here a little but tried to keep to its orignial spirit - Thanks!

[MattMurdockCZ]

Now, this is The Piano Player

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Man that piano tuning sounds just like an old Upright in Storyville! Plus extra kudos for playing as intended (that is for it to be extended).

[kevyp]

Grat playing man! I like how you are keeping the Blues light burning. Check out an old school boogie-woogie gal called Camille Howard.

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Thanks for that Comment! - I don't think I've heard of that name before - I'll check it out - thanks for the tip - always interested in new inspiration - Matt

[cowboy229]

Another great piece. I could picture myself in a New Orleans bar/dive sitting back enjoying a nice fat cigar and (soft)drink tapping my foot. Thanks Matt

[Boogiewoogiekid]

That's a good picture . . . Thanks cowboy! - Matt

[letballstyle]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE!!!!!! Gets me dancin' every time

[Bullwinkel]

This is why this is my favorite subscription. awesome as always. I was just attempting a James Booker tune when i thought to myself i gotta watch Matt first.

[ficus2008]

Do you tune the piano that way, or is it simply because of non-tuning over time? Either way it enhances this style. Please keep posting new material!

[Boogiewoogiekid]

No . . I don't intend for the piano to be out of tune - it just gets alot of wear & tear between myself and my students - and I can't afford to tune it every month - Thanks for watching! - Matt

[Immaculate416]

your somethin' else man - another great performance!!

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Thank you for this Immacuate! - Matt

[BoogieDiva]

I love this tune! - This is AMAZING! - even better arr. than the original!

[Germanator93]

Love it! Will you play the Hesition Blues one day?

[Boogiewoogiekid]

I don't know that one - but I'm gonna look it up - thanks as always Germanator for watching! - Matt
