Chris combines swing piano and bebop on this rendition of Hoagy Charmicheal's tune. Flawless technique and touch. Beautiful playing by this understated master.

  • I remember Chris as a young kid studying with the same piano teacher as myself, the ever lovable Buddy Motsinger.

  • Also what are you playing in your right hand besides the melody (right hand chords in addition to left hand stride)

  • wow nice arrangement. Im trying to work out my own stride arrangement and this really helped. I cant improvise and keep the left hand going tho

  • beatiful! thoroughly enjoyable.-thanks

  • @stuartbox25

    Have a look at "jazz2511" with this (and other brilliant) titles at youtube.

    "The Nearness Of You "must remain a ballad but not a stride-piano...

    Greetings from Germany

  • Reminding me of the solo recordings of George Shearing.

  • wow this is so nice to listen to and well executed! (as far as i can say, since i am not that much into live play, but it sounds rather complex to be played without errors)

    its so loungy~ =)

  • Your touch is like Teddy Wilson. Beautiful !! Thank you so much !

  • A mutual friend, Hal Smith, introduced me to the genius of Chris Dawson, and oh how I enjoy. Thanks Hal, and Chris, for this great artistry at the piano.

  • Yep!! Its the real deal! Combination of a great tune and great chords and execution.  Bellisimo!
