After You've Gone (Harry Connick Jr.'s version) - Cover

Me playing the song "After You've Gone" the way Harry Connick Jr plays it on his album "25" released in 1992. Actually, I tried to perform exactly the way he performs that piano piece by listening to it several times. So, no improvisation at all (...and NO SHEET MUSIC as well, for those who ask me. I won't write any sheet music (too complicated)).

As the video file was too big (110 Mo!), I had to edit it, so that's why the sound is not very good. I regret it but that was the only thing to do... Hope however you'll appreciate it ;)

PS: Please, don't let comments like "get a real piano" or "keyboards don't sound good", etc.
I would definitely have a real piano if I could...

Moi en train de jouer "After You've Gone" à la façon dont Harry Connick Jr. joue cette chanson au piano dans son album "25" sorti en 1992.

En fait, j'ai essayé d'être le plus fidèle possible à son interprétation. Je l'ai trouvée à l'oreille, je n'ai donc pas de partition de la version de ce morceau (et n'en ferai malheureusement pas, pour ceux qui se poseraient la question).

Si vous aviez l'album en question, merci de me laisser vos impressions (par comparaison entre les 2 interprétations), même si je suis conscient d'être loin d'avoir le niveau d'Harry Connick ;)

PS: Merci de ne plus me laisser de commentaires du style "achète un vrai piano", etc. Si je pouvais jouer sur un vrai piano, il y a longtemps que j'en aurais un ;)

I can't believe this video doesnt have 5/5. Crazy skills!

Thank you ;)

I'm lacking in the vocabulary of musical styles. Can someone please tell me what style this is: ragtime? jazz? What would you call it?

[DedeWalter]

I would say it's a New Orleans jazz standard played in ragtime style.

Unbelievable talent. I used to sing all of Harry's and frank's stuff and pick up the sax for the solos until I had my vocal cord paralyzed. Sad, very sad, but listening to you play brings back great memories. There isn't a song he plays I don't know by heart (not on the piano however, but I wish). That's why i loved every bar of it! Thanks for sharing.

This style is stride, not ragtime. The orchestral right hand is derived from Erroll Garner's style, or at least I believe that's where Harry Connick Jr. got it from. Congratulations, you play this tune beautifully! I didn't realize that Harry Connick Jr. played this way... I'll have to take a closer listen to his music.

Wow...Awesome! Can you upload Connick Jr's version of Muskrat Ramble? I think he has a great interpretation.

As an amateur piano player, I appreciate your work. Do you know that there is a verse to the song?
