Shoutout to the drummer exhibiting the mark of a truly great musician- they can make anybody sound good by feeling the pulse their groove in the moment The drummer is anticipating the tricky spots giving a gentle nudge to keep the groove. So tasteful!
it also makes a difference when you've practiced the song enough to the point where you don't have to worry about making mistakes, as well as how recently you practiced the song
once the audience started clapping he really loosened up and started fleshing out the chords much more. i think he was concentrating way too hard on not making any mistakes before that
Dave is actually really good. not steller or anything but definitely more entertaining than I expected and good enough to carry a tune to completion. I see no reason why he cant come out with a small album or some similar project like that. I would most assuredly give it a listen and I know the world would too.
I love this man! Funny, well spoke, VERY INTELLIGENT and a cool laid back guy. But what I like most about him is that he drums to his own beat....got to love people like that 🥰
Funny thing is in a lot of documentaries or specials on him, when ever he's around a piano he always plays this song. ?uestlove has said before Dave has dedicated himself to only play 'Round Midnight and Misty
That’s okay...I think most non piano players have 1or 2 little things they chose to learn, as a child or teen, and just never got any further. My wife, god bless her, she’s been playing chop sticks for around 45 years, now. Lol.
@@DIYTFY Get your playa hatin', NO TALENT havin ass out of here !! Im SURE his bank account says DIFFERENT. If you have nothing good to say get off the post then and just STFU !!!
In 9 years RUclips will recommend a video where Dave walks on water, and I’ll watch, because he’s a badass! 🙌🏾 Thanks for the likes, you guys are truly great!
He was playing the exact changes also. The Real Book has changes that are considered wrong by many so I don't know where he got these changes from unless he learned it by ear.
@@fludeball Hes doing the bare minimum, but impressive if he hasn't actively practiced at all. I'm a musician and I dont play piano, but I use one often if I'm learning a song by ear and would struggle to even do what Dave is doing here
@@fludeball it was the drummer who was adjusting to Dave's inconsistent tempo. Dave was the guest here at this jazz gala, odds are the drummer knew what he was doing
@@janetownley Yeah but Dave is a comedian. The fact he learned how to play it at all is amazing! I've played guitar professionally 35 years and to me the Jazz standards are still hard to play!
@@briansalipante2024 I'm a self taught Rock player. Yes I've faked my way through Jazz gigs before but it's tough. Soloing over those changes is VERY challenging and I'm amazed at the Jazz cats who make it look effortless.
Приколы
It’s pretty cool that a reflective, deep comedian like Chapelle chose to play Round Midnight.
Thats his go to song and he has talked about it for years but I had no clue he actually plays it?
His street party gig showed it
TomB Stone ill check that out
It is the most recorded and most played Jazz Standard.
Its the only song he knows how to play

Facts
And the bassist too! (1:25)
For real.
You and the band when your non musician friend wants to play, so you play around them to make them feel great about it. Wholesome music moment
@@evanwilliamson8338 The trumpet player stepped into to play him the melody line to when he asked "am I close?"
Surprised? Dave C. attended the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in D.C. as a teenager.
Yeah i was surprised! Lol Thanks for sharing that!!
Wow
This video been on here for 9 years and it's just blowing up. How strategic of youtube
Here he's playing a song called Round Midnight. His upcoming project is titled Midnight Miracle.
Coincidence, or nah?
Well another layer to add to mr Chappell’s talent
he is also a Jujitsu master, a ventriloquist, a world renowned breeder of rare fish and a certified deep sea wielder on the weekends
Your joking right?
I’d believe this 🙌
Of all the things to casually play.. Thelonious Monk was the Picasso of jazz piano. Real left field stuff.
🤣🤣🤣
He wields deep seas ? Must be a hell of a job
Genius is never one dimensional...Mr Chapelle, you sir, inspire us to better.
He sucks
Almost 10 years and NOBODY commenting on the INCREDIBLE Mrs. Mauleon??!! A Legend in Latin Music! Great cameo!!
I am with you buddy April 2021
That part!!
He's playing round midnight that was very unexpected
I love him even more now...! I can't believe that's what he would choose to play, and I'm stunned he can actually play it...damn Dave
The drummer beautifully chimed in and made Dave Chappelle sound even better.
Playing piano in front of many people with all eyes and ears on you is a lot different than playing piano at home alone too.
it also makes a difference when you've practiced the song enough to the point where you don't have to worry about making mistakes, as well as how recently you practiced the song
@@somekid7, also, starting with smaller crowds, house parties, etc. Work up to the big venue if you're lucky to get there.
The man had a fortunate education..
He could’ve been anything else beside a comedian.
Go Dave! !!

Very true, as an amateur jazz pianist I noticed this too

Wow! Go Dave! Anyone who can play in that key gets an award! Masseuse did awesome too 👏 😂
@@janetownley Eb minor, and yep. Props to Dave tho, I didn't know he could play at all
The mainstream has no place for Dave. He is a wonderful reality of what IS.
Hey, I don't know about his comedy, but he has some of the VERY BEST taste when it comes to music.
He's only the greatest standup of all time. Nbd.
No he doesn’tz
He's one of the most highly regarded comics of all time..
I love this man! Funny, well spoke, VERY INTELLIGENT and a cool laid back guy. But what I like most about him is that he drums to his own beat....got to love people like that 🥰
Round midnight??? High end music taste I must say... impressive
Gotta love this man
Chappelle is timeless!
this fucking inspires me so much to get back to playing jazz, thank you so much
Really this did haha
Damn! Cool. Long time fan and long time musician, and jazz fanatic. Had no clue Dave had chops. Art flows thru flesh in a beautiful manner.

@@shucksful lol she must be a true chopsticks master by now
Heck yeah, I knew he liked jazz but this is a whole Ned level of respect shouts out from cle
made me smile. long live chappelles!
His piano playing is way better than my jokes so, Great Job Dave! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Had no idea . . . love this guy!
Is there anything that Dave chappelle can't do this man is amazing!
Love you Dave! The best to ever do it!
This is incredible! Play, Dave! 🙌🏿🎹
Awesome work Dave, bravo!
Brothuh so talented!💖Love Dave✌
Love it!!!
Kudos to Chappelle...absolutely love this
Fantastic!
Wow - I'm impressed!
The talented Mr Chappelle
Dude, I'm a jazz pianist. That's a tough song! Props!
What's the title?
@@bram2249 Round Midnight by Thelonious Monk
@@GregWorzel When I saw the name Thelonius Monk, I IMMEDIATELY knew it must be hard and didn't have to ask.🙉
Me too. That and Giant Steps are two hard pieces to play.
@@GregWorzel thanks
Man of many talents
Lookin' good, Dave.
Look at her go! She gives a great massage.
Wow! That's awesome
Cooooooooool. You go, Dave Chappelle!
That was GREAT Dave..TALENTED SOUL you are my friend
No he isn’t.

The man can't help but be funny on any stage.
I'm impressed

Wow, what a surprise!
Crazy dope!
LEGENDARY ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
AND MILES...👑...🎲
Dave Chappelle can suddenly play piano... and he's amazing..
Way to go Dave!
Subscriber # 1k here! Keep up the good work, you are awesome!!!
Super impressive
For a moment i thought Dave was going to have Rebeca play i've seen her perform many times and then my shock when he started playing, lol. Great stuff
He was playing the exact changes also. The Real Book has changes that are considered wrong by many so I don't know where he got these changes from unless he learned it by ear.
Great massage, Rebecca! Dave was channeling you thereafter....!
Very cool
Oh wow, I have Rebecas Book on Cuban Salsa Music. I never knew anything about her until now!
Wow.....Didn't know he played!!! NICE!!
Wow! That was no joke!
Alright Dave....I'm impressed
Did anyone else expect Eddie Murphy to come out and launch him inside the piano?
Dreadlocks?......!!!
No
🤣🤣😅😅
LoL
Oh you snappin on Reggiiiieeeaahh! I also like how you commented 9 years ago and we show up all within the past week. #algorithm
Guy is fearless.
he's a huge fan of Thelonious Monk btw
I didn't know the man plays, wow!
respect
Dave Chappelle YOU DA MAN
DAMN DAVE
Fellow Duke Ellington SOTA Alumnus as myself. We Got This!
Impressive. That is not a simple song to play. I need dust of my piano skillz.
Rebecaaaa! Un abrazote from Rotterdam
Ain't nobody told her to stop massaging!!!! Lol but fr they're both legendary
Dave! Bruh!!!
Damn! He played 'Round Midnight. Sick!
'Round Midnight by Thelonious Monk, a very popular Jazz piece. Chappelle isn't a pro, but it is really cool and enjoyable.
This is the most intense version of Round Midnight i have to say, and its not even complete !
Chappelle is our new Monk.
It is so messed up that Dave was able to do that. What a talented dude.
really really impressive for him to be able to play piano at a high level
High level? He certainly plays at a level
He’s doing a quadruplet in triple meter against a percussionist, and everything lands in the right place. Can YOU do that?
@@fludeball still not high level. Does not matter if we can do it or not.

love daves .didn't ask to be born . won't ask to go . i don't care .just get enuff to take care of what i want in life
😕😥
round midnight!
Nice.
Chappelle going for blood with some MONK. That's gutso!! BIG UPS!!!!
I’m a massive fan and I had no idea.
crazy.
Reminds me of Hey Arnold music.
He’s a scholar and ppl like him
On the piano, and there are easy songs and tough songs.... all the Jazz standards fall into the TOUGH category haha!
@@janetownley Yeah but Dave is a comedian. The fact he learned how to play it at all is amazing! I've played guitar professionally 35 years and to me the Jazz standards are still hard to play!

Of course he plays
