So glad I found you. ♥️🥰🎼🎶♥️🥰Singing your praises to my friends. Love how you play St. Louis Blues.Sensational! Much Love 💕 coming from Portland, 🥀Oregon. Chris.🙏🥰🙏🥰🙏
Could listen to this music all day and night - it is fantastic. Wish I could get it on a CD(s) so I could have it in my car too. Tommy, stay safe, stay healthy, so that you can keep bringing sure delight to so many. Thank you.
Stride is my favorite--St. Louis Blues is my favorite--Tommy is my favorite. All this adds up to the most FANTASTIC listening ever. Your playing of ANY song brings absolute joy to my heart and a tear to my eye. THANK YOU SO MUCH for allowing us to hear your remarkable talent. You are just as much fun to watch as to listen to--you really FEEL the music and it looks like you have so much fun doing so.
OH MY...........JUST AMAZING MAESTRO! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TALENT-IT MAKES MY HORRIBLE LIFE A LITTLE BETTER.GOD BLESS YOU ,AMAZING MUSICIAN AND GOOD MEN TOMMY JOHNSON!
Amazing! You can here the entire trio. Some of his licks in the top octaves sound like back up vocals as well within the arrangement which was beautiful. Love how he plays the upright bass part in the left hand and holds down the rhythm section & the melody with the right. Thats tough to do! That last series of licks right before the final walk down at the end is incredible! Especially that lick he played over the diminished chord in that sequence. Respect!
I love how you incorporate stride movement into your blues. My Dad taught me basic stride when he got me hooked on reading his sheet music collection (1900-1950s). Now, years later, I'm trying to learn the blues. You are my role model! Thank you for your recordings here on RUclips where I can see how your fingers move. What a treat to see and hear you play. All the best to you.
Waou, that swings ‼ What a feeling... How I am happy : the extraordinary Tommy Johnson is back. Thank you for sharing your performances and your talent. It is the best Christmas present possible. Thanks to you and other youtube's artists, I have begun the piano and particularly the boogie-woogie. Thank you very much and good holidays my dear virtual professor. PS: excuse my poor English, I am French.
Hi Tommy many thanks for your kind reply ,re coming to England in the spring I know a lot of your fans here will be thrilled to see you , please keep us posted and make a note to visit us in the North West ...Manchester Area or as near as possible ...In the meantime keep them tunes rolling and them fingers moving .kind regards Alan England .UK {Manchester}
Heard a lot of Jeff live when I was living in Cumbria. I prefer a more down home rhythm for blues piano myself but this is very listenable. Never heard of Tommy before. Stride is onje style. Just think I'lll check him out on boogie.
Mathematically it is easier for me to understand Tommy's skills than Luca Sesak's. Tommy has had a few years to hone his totally massive skills...I just can't imagine how anyone can play like Luca at such an early age...but then again I believe that a soul never loses these crafts and may come back in different manifestations to play to different audiences...I don't know how to explain the level of talent both these men have
Loved it!!! We have definitely got to get together!!! Professionally of course. You are best piano/ keyboard player I have ever heard since Joann Castle/ Jerry Lee Lewis. I really mean that. Thank you so much for truly entertaining me and making me very jealous!! Lol
i love your arranged!!! i'm from argentina, and i love all your work!!! listen to your music puts me in a good mood, I listen to every day, continuing well, thanks for sharing it!!
Your music is fantastic - Thanks so much for sharing and I hope to get a CD or download some of your music. What do you think of the new Tyros 5? I am considering it. Keep up the great work.

It’s called the stride piano style: LH metrical alternations of bass & chords beneath RH melody & solo lines.
Sorry to say Tommy passed earlier this year
@@davidmurray1276 A loss for sure.
