  • The ignorance of referring to "real" scales and chords aside, such things are primarily notation devices, and when you reach this level of performance they become irrelevant. I was at a jazz workshop- after an improvised piece a student joked to the sax player, "You must really know all your scales, huh", and he said "Well, I used to."

    This is to piano what Picasso is to paint. If you get it, wonderful. If not, the Top 40 is full of music with nice little major scales and triads for you.

  • thank you so much mr.taylor i really don't know what i'd be doing if it were not for you. i see your dedication for the music and it makes me try to do my absolute best and then some. your music to me has always been a complete synthesis of what a true artist can bring to the fore.

  • Great Cecil Piece! I love him solo!

  • This is actually an "accessible" Cecil piece

  • If someone suspects that this is not music but noise - are invited to make a record on piano 8.5 minutes similar (in his opinion) noise and then compare their results with this video. It will have all the rest of their lives to try to understand - why the results are not similar ...

  • It seams that he is playing a storm in the ocean

  • GENIUS !!! GENIUS !!! GENIUS !!! GENIUS !!! GENIUS !!! GENIUS !!! this is what understand listening this pure brillance !!!

  • Regrettably, this makes so much pianomusic ... no longer necessary.

  • Regrettably, most people wish to subjugate music to their uneducated prejudices. It affords them the solace and consolation of remaining in a perpetual state of atrophy, while they wait with breathless anticipation for the next installment of American Idol.
