Duke Ellington: Prelude to a Kiss (High Audio)

A repost of one of Duke Ellington's more lush pieces, with much better sound. I think I've improved the performance over the first posting; watch for those magic 10th's! ;) This video is dedicated to 'goldlessbassist', who so much liked the first version. :)

The light on your music looks like a shrine. Miles was right when he said we said we jazz musicians should take one day out of the year and get down on one knee and thank Duke. The most achingly beautiful bridge to any jazz tune I've ever heard. Play it brother.

What a wonderful thought about the light on the music. The music stand is a bit of a shrine, I guess. ;-)

I find Duke Ellington's music has an emotional depth and richness that is unique; I'm glad you enjoyed this performance. :-)

Nicely done, G. Haven' t heard you play in ages. :D:D:D

-C. up in Whitehorse. :D

Glad you enjoyed it. :-) It's been a long time indeed (at least 5? 10? (I'm getting old!) years) & the piano is much, much larger now. (I still have my old Smith & Barnes. My tuner has always discouraged me from trying to get it restored (feels it's not worth the money), but I'd like to be able to afford to waste the money on it some day!)

This is just brilliant.

Thank you very much! :)

That was just ridiculously good! lol.

By any chance, does anybody have the sheet music for piano that I could have?

[Kamibambiraptor]

Ooops! Guess I'm showing my age! ;)

Glad you still like the piece! :) :)

sorry man, "this is the fucking shit" is 2000s talk for "this video is great"... very well done, 5 stars all the way

[Kamibambiraptor]

Erm.... sorry you don't like this version; guess I'll undedicate it then!
