Moanin' -- jazz piano

I listened to a CD by Eldar Djangirov recently which had this tune on it. I really liked how he approached it. He would go big, then go small, then go big again. He plays it with a happy Oscar Peterson vibe. I thought it would be fun to copy his approach. I didn't copy his notes, but I tried to get the same feel and same musical arcs. This was a lot of fun to do. It was a bit of a stretch because it is different than my usual style. It also gave me the opportunity to explore GarageBand a little bit more. The backing tracks were done before I recorded the piano track. I used GarageBand and Synthogy Ivory Steinway piano patch. The keyboard is a Yamaha CP300.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed doing this.

Very nicely done. A beginner jazz pianist myself, I can envision myself coming back to this video until I can't count the times. Their is a lot here to study and learn. Thanks a million.

@cjbankston Thanks so much.

Watching this made me feel relaxed, energized, and inspired, all at the same time. You are a phenomenal player, and a massive inspiration to an aspiring piano player, such as myself.

@DefeatedElitist Thanks.

Even though I listen to your playing of this piece a couple of times a week, it's never boring, and always terrific.

Thanks for it...
