Autumn Leaves - Piano Jazz Ballad

[Reachwun]

Finally found what I've been looking for. This is beauty in its purest form. It's my hope that someday I can play even a fraction as well as this.

[idaveit]

@Reachwun Thank you so much for your nice words!

I wish you all the best!

Dave

[localpm]

КЛАССНО!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[idaveit]

@120319551 Thank you!

[lawlelo]

this is really great ..... you know whats the amazing thing about it ; is that you kinda look like my father who past a way.... and when you play it kinda give my the picture of him playing piano in heaven :)

[idaveit]

@lawlelo Thank you very much for this very special comment. It's nice to find solace in music.

Best wishes

Dave

[TheDMunir94]

Wonderful interpretation of a beautiful piece. I was quite surprised to find that the main theme, or rather, the first few measures of Autumn Leaves is taken from Tchaikovsky's 'Hamlet'.

[idaveit]

@TheDMunir94 Thank you very much!

Kind regards

Dave

[XtremeBratmaxe]

Fantastic. After I saw the video I ordered the book with the arrangement. I'm now trying to compete^^

[idaveit]

@XtremeBratmaxe That's great! I am shure you will have a wonderful time with this excellent piano book.

Best wishes

Dave

[szewanng]

Its great. Just wonder if i could find this piano piece online? I can't find this piano book in my own country. Thanks in Advance.

[Thrombozytenaggregat]

It's really amazing, and the sound of the piano is very nice! Just out of curiosity, how long are you playing the piano?

[idaveit]

@Thrombozytenaggregat Thank you. I started in 2004. I am self-taught.

[Thrombozytenaggregat]

@idaveit That's impressive, thanks for your answer.

[amos108SF]

Very nice piano style. I wish I could play like you.

[idaveit]

@amos108SF Thank you so much!

Best wishes

Dave

[idaveit]

@birthpiano The piano sound is software based: Ivory by Synthogy. The piano controller itself has no internal sounds.

[fullyAsianeric]

Amazing!!!!

[idaveit]

@fullyAsianeric Thank you!

[ckn711]

Very nice interpretation!

[idaveit]

[armstrong8844]

do you have the digital version of piano sheets for this song?:)

[idaveit]

@armstrong8844 Hi,

I bought the book which has many other great tunes.

The title is "All Time Standards Piano", written by Gabriel Bock, published by Schott Verlag.

[isaackhalifa]

can you write the first few chords you play please

[idaveit]

@isaackhalifa The intro changes between  Em7/9 and B7/4.

Kind regards

Dave

[santaalegranza]

AND NICE PLAYING OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[santaalegranza]

Hi

how do you find the numa NERO as a piano keyboard with wooden keys?

I thing that numa NANO is better than numa ( less plastic), but with no wooden keys and is heavy.

Thanks

[RudeBoiSwag]

Everything you play sounds amazing.

[idaveit]

@RudeBoiSwag What a wonderful compliment, thank you so much!

Best wishes

Dave

[virnowi]

it seems like another song sang by Ono Lisa,

[xxZachguyxx]

Da best, we will never see anything like this arrangement again, thanks for playing :)

[idaveit]

@xxZachguyxx Wow, thank you for such a nice compliment. As I mentioned in the description, the arrangement is by Gabriel Bock from the book All Time Standards.

Best regards

Dave

Hi there , I've finally got round to putting my version of autumn leaves on, some of the ideas I got from listening to your fantastic version of this piece. Excellent stuff

[idaveit]

@masonrox2547 Oh, thank you!

[Nessjes]

Gratuliere! 

[shellshocknine]

Beautiful.

[sigasa]

LOVELY! Would you still recommend the Numa Nero?

[sigasa]

lovely! Would you recommend a NUMA NERO? i'M THINKING OF BUYING ONE.

[esther17ify]

this sort of jazz i do like, once again great!! i imagine you in a high class hotel

playing for people in the cocktail lounge or on a big liner, doing the long haul

say to u.s.a. hope you didn"t mind me saying that, its just that people would love it!!

[idaveit]

@esther17ify Oh thank you very much. This is a large honour for me!

Best regards

Dave

[doothless]

He has the talent I wish I had. Imagine that, huh?

[ericipericie]

Very soothing to listen to. Good job Dave. Still happy with your Numa I guess. Did you encounter any problems with this keyboard after playing on it for such a long time? Thanks for the music anyway.

[idaveit]

@ericipericie Thank you very much! Yes I am still happy with the Numa Nero. It feels great to play!

[gichraval]

Idaveit you're a very good jazz pianist. And i was like imitating your style but I can't get it.. Very Stunning and very impressed... Thanks! :)

[idaveit]

@gichraval Thank you very much. Perhaps you will sound much better playing your own style.....

Kind regards

Dave

[MCalixte89]

damn he can really play

[idaveit]

@MCalixte89 Oh, wow! Thank you very much for this nice compliment.

Kind regards

Dave

[SellusionStar]

Sehr gut!

[idaveit]

@SellusionStar Herzlichen Dank

[Jazz7Seven]

 That's feeling! Sorry, my English is horrible (I'm from Switzerland), but, I love that! Autumn Leaves is a wondeful Song and your playing, too!

[idaveit]

@Jazz7Seven Thank you very much for this nice comment.

Übrigens: ich bin auch aus der Schweiz.

Ganz e liebe Gruess

Dave

[spicbuddha]

Great playing and version of this. How is the numa nero? I am thinking og purchasing one.

[idaveit]

@spicbuddha Thank you very much. If you like a really heavy wheighted action, then the Numa Nero is great. Be aware that it is just a controller without any sounds.

Best regards

Dave

[spicbuddha]

@idaveit Thanks, yes I am aware. I have a Logic setup here at home. First I was thinking of the Kawai ce200, but I like that this has less of a physical footprint; my apt is small. Now it's whether to get Ivory or Alicia's keys. Thanks again...

[chiefiom]

Nicely done - great voicings - i keep meaning to upload my version ( not as smooth as yours) enjoyed it .

[idaveit]

@chiefiom Hi Phil, thank you very much. I listened your version of "Yesterday" which is excellent.

Best regards

Dave

[maobano]

This is awesome! I was about to leave when I found it's a ballad. Thanks god I didn't Love your voicing!

[idaveit]

@maobano Thank you very much.

[paadinkl3]

do you have sheet music for this?

[idaveit]

@paadinkl3 This piano jazz ballad arrangement is by Gabriel Bock from the book All Time Standards, Piano.

Sincerly

Dave

[aidid90]

[DjsKadyRaiMix]

King of chords...

Thank you - from Middle east

[lorie1482]

Absolutely intriguing!!!!!!! What a beautiful piece by a classic artist!!!!!!!!!

[idaveit]

@lorie1482 Thank you very much for such a motivating comment.

Kind regards

Dave

[Lot2learn]

I love that intro! You play this very well, with excellent expression. The sound of Ivory is great!

[idaveit]

@Lot2learn Thank you very much Roger. Your comment is a great motivation. I appreciate all your excellent videos!!!

[drawfire25]

whats better- NI akoustik piano or Synthogy Ivory? (I currently have akoustik piano but i've never had ivory piano) thanks!

[idaveit]

@drawfire25

I never played the NI akoustik piano, I only know the demos. The thing I like on Ivory (only the Steinway patch) is that it feels so great on the keys. Especially when you play soft and like a warm sound, then it's fantastic.

As far as I know, there will be a new release (Ivory II).

All the best

Dave

[drawfire25]

@idaveit I like the steinway preset in akoustik, but i can't fully get into detail because i have my limits with my cheap midi controller. I NEED the studiologic numa to fully grasp the akoustik dynamic range. thanks for expanding my knowledge on ivory and the numa!

[mavs972]

@drawfire25 You should look into the Studiologic sl-990xp, 88 fully weighted keys and built like a tank. Around 300$, no fancy controls, but if all you need is piano playing, then it's perfect.

[mavs972]

@drawfire25 I had Akoustik piano, didn't like it. Ivory is way better. Reason pianos is also a good alternative if you have Reason, I also liked the The Grand 2 from Steinberg. Ivory tops them all though.

[lyrix15]

@drawfire25 I own NI akoustik piano and Ivory. I like and use both. Ivory has a lot more realism but NI akoustik Piano has a nice flavour to it when used in the context of a song (for example rock).

[lourson66]

Wonderfull played, bravo idaveit

[TinSpajic]

really nice! 5 stars

[jeandavid54]

Nice move

[marclee82]

bravo man!! i just got a Numa Nero today...its a luxury to play...just need a serious piano software....logic's jam pack pianos are getting there workout rite now though... Ivory is great but im also eying the QL Pianos becuase i had the Bosendofer290 so Discount if i do buy it...I'll let ya know thanks keep the vids coming your great never to late to be great :P

[ninthmuse]

Nice. Your lines are harmonized really well.

[theK0OKS]

it really touched me, fantastic performance! I wish i could play so well, really, well done :)

[idaveit]

@ theKOOKS,

thank you very much!

kind regards

idaveit

[JairCrawford]

So, that's Synthogy Ivory... I gotta say, that's the closest thing to a real grand piano I've ever heard. If I didn't see the title, or the keyboard, I probably wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. lol Nice playing :)

[mattmollysdad]

very nice

[7notemode]

Beautiful transcription, beautifully played.

[mysticradio]

do you play the IVORY off a laptop or Receptor.

[idaveit]

Hi mysticradio,

I play Ivory on a desktop pc as a vst plugin in Sonar 7 PE.

[sikwitit345]

omg I love this song, very good interpretation!

btw how do you like the Numa Nero? I also got Ivory and thought of buying one?

again, Great Job!

[idaveit]

Thank you sikwitit345.

The Numa Nero feels very realistic to a grand piano and is great to play. The keys are heavy weightet. The surface of the keys feels fantastic. The program to create personal dynamic curves however is not so well.

[PianistaItaliano]

Beautiful work *****

[idaveit]

Thank you very much for your positiv rating!

[spicyswiss33]

Great interpretation as usual!! thanks for it.

[idaveit]

Thank you very much.

Et beaucoup de salutations à la romandie.

[Arthur60]

Very nice play, as usual, Thank you very much!

[idaveit]

Thank you Arthur. I like this song and the thousand ways it's being played.
