Ok, I suck but after hearing this kid play now I really suck. He just motivated me to go and practice some more. And to add insult to injury, HE IS ONLY NINE YEARS OLD!!
This kid is amazing. It makes me wish I practice more when I was his age, let alone be exposed to jazz. P.S. don't beat on Tommy Flanagan so much. He was forced to sightread these changes during a time when Coltrane changes were never before heard of.
I'll admit that anybody can suck at bebop. However, this kid is AMAZING! He just played GIANT STEPS at the age of NINE!!! And he didn't get lost, didn't lose time, kept on top of the chords, and even had some fun. Actually, I'd say his solo was better than Tommy Flanagan's on the original recording (I know TF didn't exactly get to practice the piece, but still...)
Greetings from Ecuador! for being a Kid you are just amazing, good ideas man, and you didnt get lost in the form, realy good! Congrats, keep it working man. Keep that ideas on mind kid, thats YOUR style, for ever and vere
Sorry, I wasn't specific enough. Ariel's piano solo on this clip is better than Tommy Flanagan's solo on the origional recording Giant Steps. After the recording session Flanagan practiced the changes and got much better.
that is increadable !! wow. i am so inpressed you have your own style which is increadable at such a yung age i honestly dont know why i have not already heard of you you should be bigger than matt savage
Way to go Ariel, you rock! How many others are there out there like this who just haven't had the opportunity? Every kid in the world should have the chance to learn to play music. This is why.
hahaha...

Saxmatt is right, Tommy Flanagan is a hack. Plus this kid should learn how to swing.
