Tea for Two - Piano Improvisation

[LetTheMusicFlow1]

I spy some very Art Tatumesque riffs near the end. Sublime!

[MarshmallowCrunch]

Best version i've heard! Wow!!

[KeeperOfThe10]

I enjoyed this. Thank you for the beautiful rendition.

[lilnin2010]

I love it...............

[VIOLINSURI]

Bellissima!!!

[dgrendahl]

I too love this song and play it several times a week! Not, however, the way its being played here, but love it none-the-less. Great playing!

[PianistaItaliano]

@dgrendahl thanks Doug, it's much appreciated

[RiquelmeZidane10]

[bluebraids]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing :)

[cocktailchic]

O meow =''=

[pedalsnkeys1313]

That was great! I love that swing feel with this music, it's so nice to listen to! You're pretty good at the piano!

[PianistaItaliano]

@pedalsnkeys1313 Thanks :-)

[kennyispoor]

@pedalsnkeys1313 ya dude great way to put it.. you know i  would pay for this version its sick... get this shti recorded on a better fucken thing aight..

[renenkel]

Is there a bass player accompanying you? Also, is that a normal acoustic piano? It seems to have a slightly "electronic" sound. (Or maybe it's just me??)

Very nice, by the way, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[PianistaItaliano]

@renenkel Thanks, is only an real grand piano, steinway & sons 211B

[MrMaymac]

It is so beautiful that I can not stop listening!

[MrMusicalLion]

i wish i could play like this.. i do classical, rather than jazz ^^ it's cool. :)

[freebeer08]

3 words: JESUS F***ING CHRIST!!!

That was brilliant! Loved it.

[nelmsters]

i downloaded the sheet music, but is that realy the whole song?

i do see the many repeats, and i THINK the notes on top are the chord names..

but thats really the whole song?

[DajaWaja]

that's how lead sheets are. That's the WHOLE song, reharms and improvs are expected from the player

[DajaWaja]

oh...and by the way, there's a little intro usually played that it is NOT on the lead sheet...

[blogdocrato]

good

[mlavik1]

Again, amazing :)

Thanks for linking the sheet music!

[gds506]

like it very much!

[swtsummerjasmine]

I love all the extra tid bites of information on the song. You wouldn't happen to know the name of the song/artist in the film Grey Gardens when they sing "We belong together so happy together and life is a song. When we are together we know where we belong?"

[melissasharpDOTCOM]

lovely to listen to and watch! spectacular indeed!!

[tasiiik]

perfect....!!!!

[WeirdAndGeeky]

about the info, what does a soft shoe bit mean?

[PianistaItaliano]

Hi WeirdAndGeeky , that means: "Tap dancing with shoes which do not make noise. (Soft shoes = Quiet)"

[minhieu1806]

HI. I enjoyed your playing on youtube. I am currently learning jazz by myself. I want to ask you some experience on doing that. Did you take any lesson or certificate in jazz?

[WaterTaufu]

FANTASTIC :D

[BRazor78]

how does a professional pianist learn so many pieces so well. Can anyone give me an idea to increase my repetoire over time without me forgetting my former pieces.

[iftahkary]

You will never remember everything perfectley but if you will learn the peices good enough the relerning will be prettey easy

[LatasianDevil]

Amazing!

Deeply reminds me of Grey Gardens!

And especially the old times when people used to play in bars all the times!

And you do, which is very rare!

[edithlop]

=D...thats all i couls say...

=D

[biggum]

nice playing dude...

[fingerscarr]

swings donnit ! ? , a pro obviously ! hi there p'italiano ! ! gracia tantot

[MrBermusic]

La famosísima melodía de Vicent Youmans "Te para dos " elegantemente interpretada por este pianista improvisador , hace de ella un verdadero manjar musical.

[RyanLies]

the pianoman ^^

do you play in a bar 2 ?

[PianistaItaliano]

Hi RyanLies, yes I play also in Bars, why you ask this? :-)

[RyanLies]

just thought it looks like a bar in the background =D

great playing ^^

[cwli123]

Where did you get the sheets? If you don't have a scanner, can you take a picture with a camera of the sheets? Thanks

[PianistaItaliano]

cwli123, my camera is very very bad, but if you need the sheet music just follow the link by the info (bottom)

Thank you rickyesa :)

[orsymp]

Un sorridente brivido di piacere, ascoltandoti

ciao, Alfonso

[PianistaItaliano]

Ciao Orsy :)

[BRazor92]

Great interpetation, I really liked the bluesy feel you added to the song. You should listen to Art Tatum's 1933 arrangement of this song. It's also amazing.

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks BRazor92!

Oh yes,I know the Art Tatum's 1933 arrangement ,terrific :)

[mxtiplitz]

I love this song and this interpretation. 5stars

[PianistaItaliano]

[Vayshen]

Nice solid stride play!

[aab35]

[JazzySaxE]

[florbo73]

Yeah, Grande Alfonso, as always ;)!

[HellenicMagic]

Love it! 5 stars!

[Primetime7]

Classy. I love it.

[BocaFriend]

I've always said your fingers could win a dance contest! Your hands replicate the elegant flair of Astaire and the playful athleticism of Gene Kelly! Cheers! (I hope

you enter your fingers into a dance marathon!)

[PianistaItaliano]

This is funny, thanks Terry,Cheers! :)

[knotty75]

+1 on this one, you're hands are so relaxed and hardly seem to move at all. Reminds me of Evans or Shearing. I admire your technique.

[PianistaItaliano]

Wow, Thanks knotty75. Cheers! :)
