  • Awesome...

  • Understanding and technical proficiency are good. I prefer them matched with emotional content and soul however. So people may play Longhair and still not play him because they don't truly feel it.

  • excellent

  • Have you watched "Piano Players Rarely Play Together" on VHS its all about Fess,Tuts Washinton & Alan Tousaint Graet video

  • great verbal articulation, much respect

  • Nice! Got a Triton LE myself, which sound are you using? Sounds like PA001 Acoustic Piano :)

    Like to see more of you

  • I guess that the last ending lick belongs to James Booker instead.

  • excellent explanation of the professor. i used to try and copy his style by listening to records. nice job i would be interested in hearing and seeing more.
