The Nearness of You - Piano solo dedicated to susancarol225

[leonelortega1]

DE VERDAD NO SABE CUANTO ME ENCANTA SU INTERPRETACION. ME GUSTARIA TENER UN DISCO DE USTED. RESPETUOSAMENTE MI ADMIRACION.

[danielll2]

Is this the Yamaha P-95 version?

[PianistaItaliano]

@danielll2 Hi, the yamaha is the model dgx 620 grand piano with graded hammer keyboard, the sound is not standard to the keyboard, the sound is with Tascam Gigastudio, Steinway D from sampletekk, need PC with 3000 Mhz, Soundcard with GSIF, 2 gb ram and of approximately 15 gb space to load this piano.

[MultiNcHan]

TASTY !!

[PatchesRips]

What kind of an arse do you have to be to register a dislike of something this sublime? Four people so far need a slap. >:(

[thumperswd07]

Really? -__- The 4 who disliked this video must be amputees. #SALTYYYY

[NaiveAmoeba]

love the cheeky little slide at 3:38 :)

[robertoghedini]

Bravo! Anch'io sto studiando da qualche tempo questo pezzo, però tu lo riesci a rendere in modo molto più intrigante di me, che in questo senso devo fare ancora molta strada.

[PianistaItaliano]

@robertoghedini  grazie, Ciao

[EyesForward]

Simply Fantastic, my favorite jazz standard, you voiced it so wll, great job!

[JaxonHarrison]

Non parlo italiano, ma ho pensato che dà un colpo. Tu sei molto buona.

I love this song and you do a wonderful job.

Best one on Youtube I would even say! :)

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks JaxonHarrison, it's much appreciated

[kw94544]

I would love to hear you play some of the Brahms Intermezzi. I can tell you would do them justice.

[landsaleinturkey]

WOOOOW! I would love to sing along while you are playing.

[lilbooker11]

Molto bene! Mi piace molto! Great job, great song, beautiful, benissimo.

[EpiScintilate]

Another beauty, you really do those jazz standards justice. After seeing your My Foolish Heart video this was the first track that entered mind.

[putokmonai]

lovely performance chap.. bravo

[1nd1anb0y86]

semplicemente superba, tappo di cuore, siete veramente benedetti nella tua abilità con il pianoforte

[PianistaItaliano]

Grazie 1nd1anb0y86, molto gentile.

[Ruchfun]

Beautiful !! :)

[PianistaItaliano]

Grazie Ruchfun :)

[rturnerful]

My man, you play with such compassion and I feel that - your comments about a song/tune doing someone good in this sad world, was perfect. You don't know what listening to you now has done for me...............You have made a grown man cry from listening to you play an old sentimental song that means something to this man..........I thank you & appreciate your talent.....................You­'ve made a difference!!!!

[valevtx]

Fantastico.

[ejecuxion]

*Fav ;).

[raymond8807]

i LOVE the way you interpret all the jazz/standard pieces you play! soo smooth and relaxing, thats why i subscribed long ago!! :)

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks raymond8807 :D

[stephenbru]

AWESOME!!!!!!

[harveythelobsterzbak]

man its not fair that all of us meager piano-playing youtubers have to compete with... that o_O

yeah i was brought up in classical piano, so jazz has been a lot rougher to get a handle on, particularly chords and soloing with the right hand while playing the weird chords on left

but i digress. it sounds really good!

oh and is this all improv or is it actually a song? i want to get to the point where i can improv an entire song. that'd be sweet

[theonlinevirtualband]

Beautiful just fantastic

[PaPhotographer]

I envvvvyyyyyy you! Man that is some great jazz piano! Thanks for taking the time to put it up!!!

[AznChipmunk92]

Ah... I want to learn to play like this someday...

[SiriusJazz]

nice style man. its so clean and yet so emotional... i am really looking forward to get to do it as good as you.

hugs from argentina

[wiinblad]

simply amazing !! Please make a tutorial !

[celtee66]

Nicely done! I'm a secondary pianist. I think in saxophone, so I'm mostly an 'by ear' player. I'd like to get past that one day. I'm studying different versions of this song to come up with my own. I'm really impressed with your style, but I fear I'm a long way off from runs like yours. Keep 'em coming.

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks celtee66

[UrsaMumble]

Hi PIanistaltaliano..! I would love the sheet music as well...if it isn't to much trouble....

I love your playing,

[knightthe]

I love that style... I wish I could play that too... I have recorded some clasical and new age and latin jazz piano solos, In case you'd like to take a look around my youtube channel. You are welcome.

[TheOmy07]

When I heard this song for first time, I was in a Caff'e Jazz place in Manhattan, I remember clearly that it was snowing and the guy who was playing it, was so fantastic, sentimental and excellent, I felt in love with the song totally and when he finished, I just stand up and started to applause... I requested for another song... MISTY.. one of my favorites. It was an Amazing Evening in Manhattan three years ago. I live in San Francisco.. Those song are so perfect complement for a Dinner Date

[lbergamo]

great song. do you have the sheet music? or could you send me the same thing that you've send to prodigeeizer?

what piano is that? a P-85?

[prodigeeizer]

Brilliant! I love your play style.

Any tips for someone trying to break into that style? I find it difficult, but you make it look so simple.

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks Brad, just have a look in your email-box

[GreggaryPeccary]

True. Looks easy, is so difficult. Could you send me that, too. Most appreciative

[ZiL121]

simply amazing....i really love this song thank you for playing this!!!!

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks sodamnhot007 :-)

[tryxr4kids]

I've always loved this song, and your arrangement is beautiful. Theres a lot of soul in this piece, and it's very relaxing to listen to. Wonderful job, and thanks so much for the upload!

[Chordwayze]

As I told Florbo, this was one of my father's favourites. He wasn't a jazz minded man, but I am sure he would have loved this version. As for me, I am looking out the score!

Thanks again Alfonso.

John

[coolgene91]

How can I learn to play something like this?

I am desperate... I really want to play like you.

Please, can you help me? What should I play to play like this? Do you have any kind of sheet music I can use for this song?

[DonBarziniRIP]

For sheet music try "The Real Book: 2nd Edition". It dosn't help you play the same way PianistaItaliano plays it. but it's a good place to start. Sheet Music-wise, ya know? :-)

[vonthadden]

NICE................

[aluhn]

GREAT STUFF!! is this your own arrangement? if not where can i find the sheet music for it?

[PianistaItaliano]

hi aluhn, thanks for the kind comment...

yes, this is my arrangement or better my impovisation :-)

[s9pohann]

Soo good!! But please slow it down a little

[JeffersonRhodes]

This is magnificent playing! What kind of piano are you using?

[PianistaItaliano]

Thank you very much, JeffersonRhodes...

I play the Yamaha model dgx 620 grand piano with graded hammer keyboard, the sound is not standard to the keyboard, the sound is with Tascam Gigastudio, Steinway D from sampletekk, need PC with 3000 Mhz, Soundcard with GSIF, 2 gb ram and of approximately 15 gb space to load this piano.

[florbo73]

Complimenti, bella interpretazione davvero!

Ho messo anch'io una mia versione, solo il tema però, senza improvvisazione, mi fa piacere se vuoi dargli un occhio, grazie, ciao!

[SallyMWG]

Hi, your version is very pretty also. This is one of my very favorite songs, seldom heard these days. Mr. PianistaItaliano, many thanks for choosing this one. It is difficult to find. Florbo73, I wish I knew what you said, but it looks and sounds like complement. Me too! Whatever he said, I think I agree. Thanks!

[pianojazz2000]

Nearness of You has always been a favorite, and especially like your style of composition. Great sound on the link. Enjoyed this very much!

[klucill3]

[Lot2learn]

Yes, very beautifully played! So nice to listen to. Thanks for the link to the MySpace page, it gets full stereo sound there. Cinque stelle di nuovo.

[susancarol225]

You play this beautifully.  Best ever. It has romance, and embellishments that make this your song. Thank you so much.

[PocoTimes2]

Hey, are you the Susan, as in (for Susan)? Mr. PianistaItaliano, I'm new to this, but am interested in learning more, cannot play myself, but my girlfriend does, so I'm trying to learn a greater appreciation for musicians and the music you play so well. Thanks for this song. Her name is Susan also. You played this one very well, and it's one I remember. Thanks.
