absolute perfection ! who's the pianist?

It is so much fun to play an arrangement that the great Gershwin himself arranged and played note for note. It's worth the hours of practice. Nice job.

I've not heard this version from Brubeck..I like it even better than his original from the Dave Digs Disney album.You are so right on about his influence...him and Tatum , the 2 best, with Garner a close third in my opinion..followed by the great Evans, then Teddy Wilson.My personal order only of...

This is beautifully played in a type of arrangement, very pianistic , which evokes the great arrangements of the 40's. I'm playing an arrangement sort of similar at a concert in a few days,not as elaborate , and will try to incorporate a few of these patterns..gorgeous!

I do declare Tom, this is one of your best.Evanesque but with your impeccable stylings. Awesome.Thanks!

@slapmyfunkybass You just have to count it right...just off the beat.

Very first time I ever heard Tatum it was his playing of Tea for Two...I still can't believe a human being could actually do this. Beyond virtuosity

what a rare, rare treasure it is to hear this interview. I've been a huge fan of the great Garner most of my life...now I know why!

@lletratkatxa2 There's a sensational arrangement by Noreen Grey Lienhard in Piano Stylings of the Great StandardsVol 1, published by Steinway and Sons. Very authentic to the original played by Elliot Carpenter in the movie (set behind where Dooley Wilson sang and faked the playing by the way )

Tom, this is so good.You always seem to manage to help inspire/ motivate me to resume practicing again with such clear and valuable pointers. I have a decent lead sheet for this great tune in Eflat, but it just got a whole lot better. Thanks again.I so enjoy your tutorials and playing.Great fun...
