  • very nice! is this ur own transcription?

  • I transcribed melody and chords from Oscar's recording and improvised that arrangement. I like to do that a lot. That way, i can put a lot of myself into it.

  • well it was well done, by the way what kind of keyboard is that?

  • the keyoard is a Kawai MP-9000

  • When I listen to your Hymn to Freedom, I can see Oscar nodding and smiling along with you. Thanks for the beautiful interpretation, jazzmannnn!

  • I feel so privileged that my admiration for this great musician and man can touch other people's hearts. It means a lot to me.

    Thank you all for your comments.

  • Beautiful! And your variations are very original. Congrats.

  • Hey nice performance!

    Do you have the sheet music of the head of this song by any chance?

    Cheers

  • Wonderful!

    Beautiful song!

  • very, very touching and original performance! Thank you!

  • Oscar Peterson would be proud

  • I'm a little younger but dude... Stick with that shit... I started at age 22, am 23. Mostly I play my own music... But I am capable of playing some Peterson (not this) Rach and Prokofiev.

    That said, my own music is the shit...

    Point being I started late as well but I am working really hard and making lots of progress... At least 2 hours a day, 5 isn't unusual.

    Stick with it, when your 33 you'll be rippin' it.

  • Excellent work on this, man. You've inspired me to revisit "Hymn."

  • I`ve seen this video more than 20 times, its really.. wonderful !  I want play your version of himn to freedom, dont you have a sheet or something?

    My congratulations, your version is very sweet

  • Beautiful interpretation and wonderful dynamics - I just started teaching myself piano (at age 30)because of the inspiration Mr. Peterson, Mr. Tatum, and Mr. Garner gives me everytime I hear their pieces. If one day I can be one-third of pianists they all were, I'll be elated.

  • Amazing transcription man. One of my favorite songs
