You are a fine pianist. I wold like to play with you!

[JazzyJersey]

Man, you've got some great chop. Had to add this to my playlist. Well done!

[aircavmedic]

Excellent phrasing & rendition, heck now you need the vibist with 4 mallets to play, tap another note & chord comp with you. Very good playing

[Lot2learn]

Thanks for the comment.

[TroubleinZION]

I wish there was somebody like you where I live to teach me to improvise like that. Any recommendations for an up and coming jazz pianist?

[Lillasua]

veramente bravo!!

[Lot2learn]

great work. i am trying to decide what kind of keyboard to get and you are selling me on the fp4. is there much difference between it and the 7 and 8 series? these are more expensive. i'd like to get a good rhodes sound somewhere. how is the fp4 for this?

[karinetomaselli]

BRAVO

[Lot2learn]

Merci beaucoup

Hi Roger, sounding great, I can't believe you play some in double time at this tempo! I love this tune but have always played it slower.how do you go about time adjusting a JA backing track without changing the key?

[chreston60]

Nicely played. What are your FP-4 settings? Do

you use studio monitors or keyboard amplifier at home? What monitors/amplifier do you recommend for FP-7?

[Jonboyutube]

Great to see your technique, enjoyed the post a lot. Thanks.

[STKS100]

Nicely done, Roger! Sounds great too.

[lummy57]

Yeah, I like your uptempo version of Little bs Poem. Im curious why you changed the key from Am to Cm.

Ive transpsed my lead sheet too to see if I can see what voicings you are using in your video clip. Lots of fourth voicings for sure but Im thinking you have changed the chords a bit(no problem!) as I cant see what secod chord you are playing. I dont think its Bbm7...

Anyways, nice stuff, keep your videos coming Im learning a lot!!!

cheers

I play it in the key that Bobby plays it in...F Minor. The first chord I play is a Gb7 (the melody note becomes the #11) and the second chord is FMin9.

[lummy57]

Ok thanks, I realize that now the transposition is to F minor. However, Im curious about your alternative chords in this tune, particularly your second chord....

Im using the real book version of this tune and the second chord isnt f min 9...wish I could send you my pdf chart but youtube dosent allow it..!!

cheers

You certainly did great service to this great tune navigating through the changes with aplomb, excellent work!

[desertlight]

Fantastic! Now where was that bottle of sleeping pills...... Maybe I should just take the anti-depressants instead of burning the piano. Call me lot2yearn! Not enough stars available on the screen.

Whoah, man, that was masterful. I've just watched this 4 times in a row, and I can't wait to get done with this comment so I can watch it again. This is one of the best performances I've seen in a long time. Your name makes no sense to me, because it doesn't seem like you need to learn anything. I hope I can figure out 1% of what you're playing!

[watchmeplaypiano]

Sounds great, Roger. Thanks for sharing that with us.

1:59 Yes sir! Your pentatonics are very tastefully done my friend. G.H. would surely approve of your interpretation.

[tjjazzpiano]

and by G.H. I mean B.H.... why can't YouTube have "edit" mode like a forum? :-(

[florbo73]

Amazing!!!

[PianistaItaliano]

Absolutely fantastic playing, Roger.

Great lines and harmonization.

In this clear and good quality music-video (I am sure) we can all learn something new.

Also nice runs at the end.

Thanks for posting.

You have a gift for 3/4 swing. Your 16th note flurries were great. This is a great tune.
