Joe Hisaishi Jazz Piano and Hip Hop Drums Cover - W Nocturne

This is dedicated to Joe Hisaishi, the man behind the music of anime films like Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, he has been a huge influence on my music and ironically (even though he's more of a classical musician and I had listened to hundreds of jazz records) he's the one who got me into jazz piano. I was just playing one of his songs and these four chords came up, I sounded them out and learned them, learned the major scale for the key they were in and started soloing slowly, moved it a half step down and learned that, and everything progressed from there.

Here's the song, what got me playing jazz was starting from 1 minute 40, it only took like 8 seconds lol

For those who haven't heard his music, check this out, I think it's one of his most beautiful songs/renditions

By the way, Justin's drumming is so sick in this, check at around 6:00, crazy stuff
