'Hip Beat 1' -David Ives, electric piano

Improvised jazz piece: electric piano plays to hiphop drum beat.

My early influences: Oscar Peterson, Keith Emerson, George Shearing, soon followed by Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Joe Sample, George Duke. Today I listen to solo piano of Duke Ellington, Earl Hines, Art Tatum, Bud Powell, Dave Brubeck, Lennie Tristano, Cecil Taylor.
My deepest love in jazz now lies in the music of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Lester Young, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, and later of Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Stan Getz, John Coltrane supreme?

All my life I have listenned to classical music, mostly from BBC Radio3. These days, I listen almost exclusively to classical music, of all periods. I lot of my favourite music lies in Bach, Scarlatti, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Wagner, Mahler, Rachmaninov, Liszt, Delius, Sibelius, Charles Ives, Holst, Debussy, Ravel,
Bartok, Janacek, Berg, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Faure, Messiaen, Villa-Lobos, Elliot Carter, Britten, Tippett, Ligeti. Also Manuel de Falla, Gershwin, Astor Piazzolla, Kurt Weill, Bernstein.
Some of my favourite artists (on piano) are Richter, Rubinstein, Michelangeli, Bolet, Horowitz, Cortot, Arrau, Charles Rosen, Glenn Gould, Brendel, Alicia de Larrocha, Radu Lupu, Pascal Roge, Dinu Lipatti, Pollini, Perahia, Argerich, Kissin, John Ogdon, Daniel Barenboim, not forgetting Katia and Marielle Labeque! Andre Previn is the only classical pianist I know plays jazz piano at the top level.
