This one was tough... An uptempo swinger featured in the movie, "The Firm", starring Tom Cruise. I just liked the movie for the soundtrack...

  • seriuously, what's with all those dislikes on each and every rendition of the memphis stomp on youtube??? i can't figure it out

  • @V1roN someone's been thumbing down all my videos repeatedly lately. they were in good shape for 4 years until the past 2 weeks or so. idk why!

  • Nice going! This is a tough tune. It's really easy to rush and you avoided that greatly. Sacrifice some speed for more accuracy in the notes and let the tune have a groove. Maybe slow it to 190-200bpm. Got a little too "swingy/triplet-y", especially in the d minor section and the low groove in the middle. Even it out a bit more.

    Then get a grand piano! It'll sound sooo much better on a grand than an upright, even though your upright is nice. Again, great job!

  • thanks for the advice, constructive criticism is good. i agree with the swing comment listening back on it now, esp compared to grusin's performance. that's criticism i've got in the past too on this vid, so whenever i try to play it now, i try to straighten out the swing a bit more now... and as for the grand piano haha, i'm at an all-steinway college now which is GREAT, which means i need to record & upload more vids haha

see all

    And your parents must be really proud of you <.<

  • wow, sounds good!

  • i agree that the soundtrack of that film is amazing...it's like a character in the movie it wouldn't be the same without it...i love your rendition! very good!!:-)

  • YUP! You have the prize for best rendition I've seen here... I saw Grusin a month ago in NYC and he did this for his finale as a solo. Man on man...

    I'm not ready to attempt this one, but I'm bookmarking you for inspiration! KUDOS!!

  • I thought this was a great rendition but all the notes are at the same accent level, which messes up the song.

  • good ! not perfect but very good, I think you are one of the best of youtube on memphis stomp, notably for the funky side, you have the good strenght and lenght of the chords

  • Wow!
