This sounds like a tune from Spike Lee's films. Was "Mo Better Blues" based on this melody?

Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for this piano keyboard version. It's beautiful. I guess I'll have to finally learn it now and attempt it with as much style. For years, I have passed over this piece in my piano book because I had not heard it before. I was about ready to do that again, then decided to search for a convincing instrumental verion on YouTube.

Thank you so much!

Mr Joseph, if you are reading this, please know that this is a truly moving piece. You have such a beautiful breadth of expression in the tight harmonies and runs, and the first time I heard this I almost didn't know what to do with myself! Please, PLEASE, put this on iTunes so that I can take it with me wherever I go. A song of such caliber deserves to be on more than one medium than the internet.

Truly the greatest player to emerge from the small island of Britain check out his awesome lines on" waltz for grace" an old Steve williamson album, it really is world class

Seen Julian only the once, in Perth Western Australia. I could listen to his solo piano all day.

He seemed to me to be in a league of his own. Awesome clusters and resonance, clouds of chords hanging in the air. I have never heard anyone get more out of an instrument and yet still keep it real. Unique style and grace without showing off and losing it. A true grandmaster.

[ebonics4everyone]

of this caliber ... I meant to say

[ebonics4everyone]

Sad that so many black (and white) kids would rather aspire to make rap and hip hop tracks instead of MUSIC of the caliber. I guess most people would rather celebrate retardation and drugs and ignore genius and creativity.

Gorgeous.
