This was one of the first jazz tunes I ever learned- "Honeysuckle Rose" by Fats Waller. I've been literally playing it for over twenty years, but I still try to challenge myself to find new ways to approach it (and occasionally quote TV themes in the middle). Subscribe for more!

As a crazy Fats Waller fan, I must say: "BRILLIANT!!!!!"
This guy is a Legend of our time, i can't stop listening to his playing. So much inspiration in every note! Best version of honeysuckle rose in the piano world! 👍
No matter how many times i’ve watched you play, still amaze at how your left hand fly
Makes me nervous that he'll hit a wrong note. I would.
I love it the way these music geniuses don’t need a music sheet. Such friggin talent. Such beautiful mastery of the piano keys. Thank you for a superb performance.
@@chopholtz4950 _"Simply being educated in playing an instrument."_ Nothing wrong - technically - with what you write, but you miss out a whole load of other stuff, like interpretation, nuance, influences, style and so much more. So a grade 8 musician could probably play a lot of classical music competently, but would they be good enough to play at the Royal Albert Hall, or Carnegie Hall or any other world-class auditorium? Only a small proportion.
Playing a musical instrument to this sort of level is so much more involved than you describe. It's like trying to compare driving a car well to playing an instrument to international standard - most of us can learn to drive a car very well given the right tuition, skill and attitude. Playing an instrument is something else.
this assumes that he’s trying to play an arrangement exactly as written. In most cases, the stride piano of Harlem is improvised and so sheet music wouldn’t really be all that useful. What you need to remember is the melody and the harmonic structure and you’re set.
Go look at how emmet cohen and Luca filastro handle this piece, and you’ll see what I mean
Because stride isn’t music you can sight read. Memorisation and muscle memory is key for this music
He learned from the transcripts first, then he added his own embellishment.
Woww! That was so pulsed and dynamic! I'm so bubbly after hearing this!
The more I see and hear the stride piano style the more I’m amazed at its complexity.
Have you checked out Stephanie Trick?
@@mencken8 yep 👍🏻
the amount of brain rewiring that goes on to learn to play stride with impeccable timing like that is insane
thanks for keeping this style of piano-playing alive and well and for introducing it to a new generation.
Oh my goodness Scott, you are good!! You pick the nicest songs to play too. Thank you for this. Love, Dorrie
Scott you play the most uplifting songs! Wonderful.
Way happy on this! Remember seeing the musical "Ain't Misbehavin" and become a huge fan of Fats Waller. Thank you!
This swing is incredible! Thank you for your amazing playing!
Really enjoying how he hammers the beat. Really fun to listen to.
bought a keyboard about a year ago and I'm just now getting into playing some beginner/intermediate level stride stuff (Birmingham - Randy Newman). It's been a massive challenge for me, but you make it look so easy.
Absolutely incredible .. this is a Gift from God to play like this .. cheers, Ken.
And no doubt God gave him the untold hours and years of practice and dedication to study to get where he is!
Dear Scott! I congratulate you with the Great Perfomance jazz music by Fats Waller Honeysuckle Rose! Bravo! Beautiful jazz improvization! Greetings from Israel! Best wishes, Vladislav
Fantastic playing, very impressive!
I am just speechless - such a brilliance and technique! Now I know what to strive for in this piece! Thank you!
Such a cute song. Such a cute version 😊
Dude you saved my life! I’m playing a stride solo in my band and I had like no ideas on how to play these kinds of songs!! You’re awesome keep rocking it😎🤟
An actual swing number. And by my favorite Fats no less. BRAVOOOO
One of my favourite songs of all time and you did it brilliantly! 🎶
Easily one of the best in the business today! Precision and incredible key stride. Great stuff Scott!
No genre of music says show off like stride piano and I love.
Awesome! One of my all time favorite songs.
Just listen to that Steinway. Awesome tone and playing !!!
Scott you play very well and I do not want to stop listening to you. Excellent sound and it reminded me in the old Rio where there were many piano teachers. Greetings and success.
Scott, maybe you hear this a loot but I just wanted to you to know that you inspired me deeply, when I hear your music it's a mix with joy and peace, i think u r special becouse you can truly make youre piano sings, you connect with people. Sólo quería decir muchísimas gracias por compartir tu música y lo siento por mis probables faltas ortográficas, saludos desde Chile, Sudamérica!❤
I can't stop applauding!! SO GOOD!!!
That's entertainment. How pianists can play with such accuracy always amazes me, i struggle with one finger.Well played.
fedupworking If someone hands you a rifle, you’re not likely to hit the bullseye on the first shot. On the 💯, different story. I have an "ear" for music but getting the fingering takes hundreds to thousands of hours of practice. I'd agree (per Edison) 10% inspiration, 90% perspiration. 😁
Scott... you freaking wizard... I WOULD LOVE SOME FORM OF SHEET MUSIC TRANSCRIPTION HERE... BRITIALIANT, MAGICAL...
Would love the sheet music
I can imagine hearing this song in an old western saloon!! Great job!!
More likely In a Speakeasy in Harlem! Even better.
I got tired just watching. And elated. Magnificent!
Scott, you do Fats Waller proud. Thank you!!!
Such a great song!! You did a great interpretation of Honeysuckle!
Love listening to you stride, fantastic interpretation.
Cute OMG, it's a classic. And this version gives the song it's due justice. I love Hank Jones playing this, but this will absolutely do.
Wow wow WOOOOOOW!!! JAW DROP 😲 you did all the accents perfectly - just WOW
Stride piano might be my next favorite thing.
wow, and Wow, and WOW!!!
Wow. Just wow. 🙂
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for the inspiration! I started learning piano from buying your book five years ago and now I really can play and happy to be on the way to learn more and more! Thanks again 🥰
Fantastic. Love me some Fats Waller.
Scott.
Truly Beautifully played.🎼🌟🌟🌟🎼
Tremendous interpretation sir
I would LOVE for you and Jonny May to have a ragtime piano duel and post it on RUclips. You both are phenomenal!
First of your videos I've seen... Subscribed after about 10 seconds :) keep up the great work!
You are a genius man!! AMAZING!!
Fats waller wrote it hoss.
Love your left hand work Scott!
What a superb performance!
Incredible playing Scott. I'm a long time fan who's doesn't really follow Postmodern Jukebox any more but I long for more videos like this - true outpourings of your talent. (Although I totally understand why you keep making the Postmodern Jukebox videos, it must be fun)
He mastered it
Stride is king.
Fantastic!!
Wow, so beautiful and impressive!
You make my day everyday Scott with your music plus you’re so handsome too. O my. Love you so dearly. Ivy New York City
Ahhhh so nice. One of my favourites!
LOVE the PMJ stuff, but don't ever stop making these enjoyable solo videos! :-)
The classics never go out of style! Such a wonderful playing ~
Have you considered posting bebop style of jazz here, Scott?
That made me smile. Thanks
That momentary modulation at 2:28 is ausome.
Drake Holliday who are you, thelonius monk?
you are my hero man
Love this so much Scott- really nicely done!
that's the sense of rhythm!
Nice! So uplifting, if I was playing it I couldn’t keep it serious I would be beaming 😊
Wonderful!!!... I really enjoyed it very much and hope to watch/listen to you playing these kind of Jazz classics more often and (Even when I know that's not the concept) with some of the great PMJ's singers and musicians with you!!! ;)
Its so great!!!!
Increnible!!!
Please have a go at "Jitterbug Waltz", if you haven't already! It's one of my Fats Waller favorites!
It's not Ralph Sutton but, hey, nothing is. I'm just glad that there's a few of you out there keeping stride alive including my Dad.
Wow, amazing, congrats on such an amazing version of Honeysuckle Rose. I'm a great fan of a version of this song where Waller plays in the style of Bach, Brahms and Beethoven, it sounds amazing too, maybe it's some PMJ material.
Wow. I love it. Thanks love as always everyday I listen. Love you. Ivy New York City
Amazing dexterity!!
You should do some Stevie Wonder. That would be awesome!
That's a GREAT request.
Or "Jelly Roll" Morton
My serious training is organ first, and then classical piano and I'm left handed . I envy your left hand technique.
You made it look so easy !
Scott my good man, this doesn't look like taking the month off like you said you were. This looks like fun, but still work. Keep them coming!
Superb
Is there a better way to start your day than with Fats Waller? Love it.
One little bit of technical feedback - for solo piano, especially with something this lively, I feel like it might be worth backing those mics off from the strings by maybe 6 or even 12 inches. The level of percussive 'cut' that would help it come through a busy band mix gets a little overwhelming when it's on its own... (That said, if you guys keep the mics permanently rigged for PMJ, that's fair enough - gotta do what you gotta do!)
fantastic playing sir
Wow!
I love your job, Fats Waller is an awesome pianist... can you play "i'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter" or "ain't misbehavin"? those songs are the most popular of him
Oh my love Scott. I
Really love you. Ivy New York City
Woahhh! this is insane! Hectic and orderly!!
Wow... really talented ! 💫
Hey Scott a new subscriber here! Can I ask you what your first stride piano piece was you learned? Thanks !👍
Eeco Rijken Rapp
This was the first stride piano piece he learned, it is a beautiful song!
Idk how I got here, but this slaps
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Is this like a cross between blues and ragtime? The leaping left hand is a hallmark of rag piano.
The style is known as stride piano.
Hello, thank you, it's amazing, is it possible to have the sheet music please?
thank you!
wow
Bravo
Thank you for the free small concert!
true staccato as it should be…❤
Dammm you are good!!!
It's tight like that!
Such a killer
🌻
you are insanely good
Oh wow. You’re awesome Scott. I’m entertained. My loneliness vanished away. Ivy New York City
