Visit Chris Dawson's channel at: http://www.youtube.com/user/ChrisDawsonMusic Chris combines swing piano and bebop on this rendition of Hoagy Charmicheal's tune. Flawless technique and touch. Beautiful playing by this understated master.
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)
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.
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)

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...
