    His rendition of this classic tune is stunning...

  • Beauty is in the ear/perception of the beholder... If you love this, you're right. If

    you like another version better, your right. Relax and enjoy all kinds of art and music... If you find the ugly critic rising, take a breath and another breath. This is one version... it's up to you and your whole life experience as to what your experience is. It's possible to like many version of a tune... Write your own tune or do your own version that resonates with you....

  • Mr. Bean is that you?

  • No one can do better...This guy is a Monster!!!!!!!!

  • I agree with MrCIMASTUDENT. Too busy, rushed, complex. You can add complexity to a nice tune, but this rendition is just too crammed with jumps up and down in the left hand especially. Great jazz improv. from a jazz/theoretical/technical perspective. But is it beautiful, artful from a general listener's perspective? I'm a pianist myself, and my response: no.

  • @bardbulky15 man you should chill......everyone is entitled to their opinion. Personally, I think this version is too busy and that often in jazz, less is best.

  • interesting posture igor

  • @TheGus156 I double dare you do it better than his rendition...if you have no guts to do it better why don't you suck off for not saying F&%k off!

  • not a very deep interpretation, very flowerly....his chords are very flat, too much talking and not so much saying.

  • why ridiculously???

  • he is veery predictible so his playing is not so great
