I haven't talked about this much yet, but I am now officially a Kawai Sponsored Artist!! They sent me the keyboard you see in most of my videos as well as this absolutely gorgeous Kawai GX-2 grand!! I'm incredibly lucky to have this opportunity and it's all thanks to you guys. MUCH more to come from the piano room!
Ok
YESSIR
That's awesome!! Congrats man
Congrats man! It’s a big deal :)
Congrats! I'm glad to see you're getting this attention. So proud, Charles.
Such a lucky piano being given a Charles Cornell just like that
the piano was partnered with charles cornell
Hahaha
Sure is a lucky kid
Why does this sound so sus
This was so hard to read so early in the morning, but I get it now
it's like hearing the teacher actually play for the first time. it's beautiful.
the perfect description ^^^
Well, he IS a teacher for every one of his viewers so what you say is technically the truth
@@michaelnajoan5104 except this is like the thousandth time we’ve heard him play
@@jwaj which makes it even better, cus even after all those other times we're still impressed
@@michaelnajoan5104 yes brethren
Charles should make a weekly/monthly livestream where we can just sit have coffee and watch him play/interact
Like the Marc Rebillet of jazz
isn't that just a gig over the internet?
Yeah I'd watch that
Like ...live lofi... I would pay for that
Next time my piano teacher tells me to sit up straight I’m gonna show him this
Just make an album man! No need to put much time into it, just play like this. I'm probably not the only one who would buy it.
Well, I totally would!
He has an album on Spotify
He’s got some good stuff on Spotify!! It’s pretty damn good too if I may say so
Thanks, you guys. I really appreciate the kind words. Would y'all be interested in something like this where I just sort of sit down and play some tunes? Definitely something I can do.
@@CharlesCornellStudios Yes!! 😊
I love how everyone who clicked on this is just here to appreciate your musical ability. You’re a beast
Eeeyup!
literally just eating a burger appreciating his talent
I've been waiting for him to just post something like this! I love seeing and listening to the talent
this comment is a literal preventive ratio against any hate comment or whatever lmao
I wouldn’t say a beast, but he’s not bad.
I can imagine this being played on loop in classy restaurants where people are dressed in tuxedos and louboutins
As a broke student I feel like I should not be listening to this
@Lilymoon u r right! Having dinner with this playing in the background makes instant ramen taste like foie gras and caviar
Feels more like that music which plays in the really cozy cafe no one knows about
I mean my room looks like it's belongs in a mansion not a almost delapted town house in the hood. Live how you feel not by the limitations others have of you.
@@kaniphish sry internet fashion police i guess i shoulda used lou******s instead
Eh, those rich people are the ones who don't deserve it, not like most of them even earned their money anyways :)
Proof that you don’t have to sit straight to be a great pianist.
just watch old videos of bill evans. guy would be curved over his piano feeling every note.
Bo Burnham proved it, too. Even when he was on RUclips.
Jacob Collier sits like a shrimp
@@Theo-py5qj how does a shrimp sit? I didn't know they even did
Hell, just watch Glenn Gould
You know you've made it when you're given a gorgeous grand piano for FREE
you love to see it
Well I mean he spent hundreds/thousands of hours learning to play and produce videos. Well deserved
Idk about everywhere, but a lot of people give away grand pianos, they take up a lot of room, very hard to sell, and are hard to transport so you usually need to sell locally. (Obviously they wouldn’t be new like this but yeah)
And play it lol 😆😆
why is this the second time I'm seeing you in a comment section I'm so confused
Have you ever considered streaming jazz piano improv, with maybe q&a breaks here and there? That would be an unbelievably chill time
Seconded!!
Sorry irrelevant comment, but I love your collaborations with Jesse Cox, and it's funny to see you here, I didn't know you were a jazz or James Cornell fan!
@@Checkmate1138 The audience crossover is small but we're proof it exists 😎
Yeah
I’d die of happiness if that happened
I love the jazz pianist posture. “Sorry scrubs I can’t look like a snob, I got these sick licks I need to play😎”
It’s very “fuck my cervical and thoracic vertebrae, music must be made!”
😂
Let’s be honest, a lot of classical pianists don’t have that great posture as well lmao
Lookin at you Trifinov!!
lmao
Just fully immersed in the music
He was playing over the chord progression of the known standard “it could happen to you”
i thought he was playing on a slow boat to china. He was playing the melody a bit at the start
@@supdude414 it is Slow Boat to China. Similar changes, but definitely slow boat.
@@michaelfoxbrass I don’t think it is. It’s just that the starting notes are a bit similar, but once he hits the second diminished chord it’s very clear that this is “It could happen to you”. That song has a signature chromatically rising bass, and a diminished on second and fourth chord of the first bar. At 2:37 his left pinky play that signature rising bass note (Eb E F F#).
@@JayChokdee I would say it is on the slow boat to china because of the melody bits in the beginning. On a slow boat and it could happen's chord progressions are basically the same. And the diminished chords might just be that he is using them as substitutions to dominant chords. Well it really doesn't even matter what the song it is.
@@topiliski1497 I’m pretty sure it’s “it could happen to you.” If you listen to to Ryo Fukui’s album “Scenery,” he plays this tune, and trust me it’s the same chord progression. I have a good ear lol.
I’m not too familiar with Slow Boat, but it could be the case that both share the same progression, as many jazz standards do
The lower register of this piano is INSANE!
It's meaty
And the middle register
And the upper register
I don't think you understand how much you inspire people. I for one get lost in your videos, and, they basically light my (creative and performance) fire when I'm slacking.
You inspire with your music and your mentality. Don't ever stop.
a man as beautiful as his music!
Couldn't agree more with this comment right here ^^
Hmmm. Complimentary, yes, but it almost sounds like you have a little bromance brewing in your wishful thinking mind.
No matter. Everyone is entitled to their fantasies!
I honestly don't know how people can say they don't like Jazz, this was beautiful and relaxing, well done
Every music genre has its haters I guess
Speaking just for myself, I honestly hated jazz until I was like 20, because my only idea of jazz was something like Coltrane's Ascension. People can have their first experience be that album and still love it, but it wasn't for me. I think there may also be some association between jazz and background music (or "muzak") that feels boring and uninspiring. So those are two conflicting reasons for my own history, can't claim they apply to anyone else.
@@emmettmeehan3331 nah same here for a long time I just didn't "get" it, it just sounded boring to me. Despite many times trying, trying different artists and styles of jazz it just never clicked. Then one day it just did. I have no idea but it did, I find it can be so relaxing, so exciting, dramatic. So I guess just be persistent lmao
I think some people just hear the wrong moments.
It's like reading a book but only a paragraph every 5 pages; Strange and dissonant.
I still have a hard time with jazz. But damn, some of those notes, chords, etc. just catch you the right way.
It depends on the jazz real chill stuff like this I absolutely love, but you get into the more high energy and theoretical stuff and I just kind of lose interest.
This swings so hard with no rhythm section behind you. Top notch
Man, that’s a beautiful sounding piano.
It's the man playing it
Man, that's a beautiful sounding -piano- pianist. And I suppose the piano's nice too.
I would play the crap out of this Kawai, when I was in music school sometimes they would let us rehearse on a beautiful Yamaha grand piano in the main concert hall, and I’m telling you, playing on a great piano like that feels like your soul is enchanted, you never want to stop!
i can make any piano sound bad 😎
@@eyesneveropen-meow-5125 power move
Dude I'd pay a little money just to get a playlist of you jamming like this.
i'd pay mad money to jam with him, sadly my monetary situation is as weak as my musical talent.
@@memorless i feel you man lol
This is what happens to talented, consistent, hard-working content creators. Congrats on that beauty Charles!
Well, this was the vibest 3 minutes of my life. This kinda just made my day go from like 1 to 100. Would love to hear more.
I would so listen to a full album of this stuff
I have good news, there are a ton of really good jazz piano records out there
I would recommend Solo Monk by Thelonious Monk and The Amazing Bud Powell
Charles if you live streamed yourself playing any tunes like this one I'm sure alot of people would hang around such as myself. Even if it was as little as background music I would still join in.
yes please! Chillin' improv streams
Sounding great Charles! Loved the stride part 💪
Your ads are my kryptonite
@@kei-lk2zv bruh
Big fan
The name of the song is “It Could Happen To You”
I thought it was Slow Boat to China?
please upload more videos of you just playing, theyre great and we all love them
Don't think we didn't notice the Mario Kart lick, Charles.
When!? I missed it.
WHERE
@@sccrguy610 2:38
@@jameswyl 2:38
@@pilote23 I missed it too! Although it's so perfectly placed that I suspect he didn't do it on purpose; he must have it deeply engrained in his subconscious and it just came out. Good catch tho!
Yeess dude swinging! 🔥
We have something in common, Charles: you are sponsored by Kawai, while I sponsor them. When I moved here to Japan, I had to buy my daughter a digital piano, so ended up with the Kawai CA 15 midi. That was 7 years ago, and it still plays beautifully for our purposes. So happy to hear they are your official sponsor. You and they deserve each other. Congratulations! And what a gorgeous tone from the one you are playing. Lucky bastard!!!!!!
CORNELL ACADEMY, DANNNNNG, DUDE HAS REALLY MADE IT!!
Congrats Charles! We're all so proud of you!!
broooooo I'm really happy for you, I'm so glad your channel has grown this big! regards from Chile
I love It Could Happen to You. It's fun to just play and improvise over it.
dude that intro is so memorable. i’ve been aspiring to be a jazz pianist like you for several years now, and still think this is a piece of amazing art
that toneeee..... congratss! Such a beautiful piano
The timbre of this instrument is perfect for jazz! I guess Kawai picked the right piano for you.
Imagine being lucky enough to give a grand piano to THE Charles Cornell
I'd love to see you do more playing, improvisation, something you've written or just playing some of your favourite pieces.
They gave you this Grand Piano to put in the bed of a truck so you can help Louis Cole and Sam Gendel make the next Clowncore album :D
why would Louis Cole and Sam Gendel be making the next clowncore album?
@@samuelhillmusic because theyre clowncore?
@@hadengold why on earth would you think that? there's absolutely no evidence!
@@samuelhillmusic i feel like an idiot, i must’ve had a dream about who they really are and confused it with reality!
@@hadengold that’s honestly cool getting a dream confused with reality that seems kinda cool to me
It sounds so WARM. I'm so glad this is in your studio, Charles. Great home for it.
That’s definitely the mic/mixing, it’s very hard to tell whether a piano is warm or bright by recording, you really gotta be there in person (I’m not saying it isn’t, just that it’s hard to tell)
Love your breakdowns but it so great to hear you tickle the keys and shut your mouth.
So jazzy! I'm feeling this mood.
charles, i'm really at peace when i listen to you play : )
Good posture begins with a strong base.
You definitely need to make more videos of just playing, you just jamming at the start of most of your videos are some of my favorite parts, and I definitely think others agree lol
Very true it would be so nice to get more of these types and of videos
Wish there were more YT channels of people just jamming on a piano. Plenty of channels that cover tutorials or sheet music, a few really good ones on music theory, but not a lot where it's just someone playing without thinking about all that!
Regulated to be bright, and full of that silky smooth muddy overtones. The perfect jazz machine... oh Kawai never disappoints!
it's 2022 and i'm still listening to this....... this is all i need......
PLEASE make an album. I would totally buy it as would probably the entire comment section and everyone who has thumbs uped this video! Just play like this for an hour and record it!
He’s got one on Spotify, definitely worth checking out
@@MostLikelyMortal awesome! Thanks for letting me know!
Ah yes... the sound of the content we love seeing 😌 from a talented musician 😌😌😌
Beautiful. That sound and the way and emotion that you play is just amazing. Thank you for the music!
Thank you for posting this! The overhead shots make it so much easier to follow the harmonic movements. I have already learned a lot of new vocabulary from this video!
I literally LOVE these spontaneous videos. Keep up with the quality content like this one. Even if it's a simple video.
My parents didn't have to force me to take piano lessons.
I took them on my own a-chord.
You really should sentence yourself to a month of hard labor for that.
Absolutely love your dynamics in this video, so expressive!
okay but that ENDING ???? the lil trill just PERFECTION
I feel like I should not be listening to this for free.
No
@@korigamik ok
Same haha
Absolutely love Kawai’s grands, congratulations on this new addition!!
Thanks for sharing your update with us! Awesome jazzing by the way.
Piano sounds so warm. Like a nice hug. Lovely stuff.
You look like Schroeder playing a grand piano. Congrats!
And he kinda sounds like Vince Guaraldi too!
Thats the jazz pianist posture!
Your skill never ceases to amaze me!
Thank you for this. I enjoyed it so much. I had a rough day at work today and your playing lift me up.
It sounds like wind flows on beautiful lake ... And the ending ... So touchy and great control to put an end by creating effect of holding a silence at the end.
This piece's playing is tastier and a tad less flashy/more minimalist. You're getting better Charles. You're at the point where it's not about ability anymore, it's about mindset.
Dat ending tho and please, do us a favor and make more videos like this!!!
That was fantastic. Thank you very much for sharing! And also thank you Kawai for supporting this amazing artist.
That's beautiful man - glad they have you this awesome stuff! It is put to good use for sure.
Charles, this is amazing, the voicings, the taste, dynamics, rhythm, the blues licks, and aaaaaaall thaaaaat jaaaazzz. Put out music!!
Me: hmm I wonder why my back hurts maybe it's my posture.
My posture:
I'd love to have this on Spotify and make a playlist of you playing. It's so beautiful and perfect for studying in relax.
Just listening to him play is so beautiful,,, love hearing him play in his regular videos, but this was an absolutely amazing surprise! fingers crossed more stuff like this pops up on his page every now and then!! all your work is so great!
Man I wish I got a grand piano sent to my doorstep too, also congrats on that sponsorship
The mark of a musician is keeping the audiences attention and making them feel. Nothing fancy, nothing over the top, no need to show off. This was great!
Thank you
Absolutely wonderful playing and THAT tone! Happy for you, enjoy.
Amazing! I'm so happy and proud of you! Love everything you do. Keep going!
Charles style is what I like to call “cigar and bourbon jazz” jazzy enough to sound like jazz, but bluesy enough to relax unwind.
Is this a known tune or just straight out of Charles?? I might transcribe it it’s so good, already on my 5th listen!
He's improvising over the chord progression of It Could Happen to You
@@DrKosmosis ohhh brilliant, thank you!
This is exactly what I needed after a long long long day of work. What a blessing! You are a blessing!
Such a soft warm sound. I love it.
2:38 was that a reference to the Mario Kart licc 👀
Eh, it sounds similar but that's a pretty standard lick pattern from before the Mario kart lick.
i thought i heard it too
I think we're the only two that have noticed it. There no way this wasn't a coincidence. It's literally in the same key.
@@tucker6072 no. That's just a normal enclosure pattern played thousands of times on minor chords. It was part of the Mario kart lick, sure, but the reason THAT guy played it is because it's such a popular shape. The Mario kart solo is great, but it's not like every phrase in it is completely original material.
@@charliecampbell6851 Yeah i know lol I just thought it was funny
Congratulations man! Beautiful playing as always. I can most definitely say that your channel when I first found it really reignited a true enjoyment and drive to play the piano, and I truly find some of your playing inspiring. Keep up the good work!
Super great stuff, make more things like these! Not only is it great to listen to on your free time but it’d be great to fall asleep to, super relaxing. I love it!
Sounds beautiful. Nice warm sound
The jazzier is gets the more hunched his back gets...
Pianist equivalent of the stank face.
Bill Evans
Am I the only one worried that Charles' posture is starting to look like the graph for square root of x?
Absolutely incredible!! I’d love to see more of these!
I love just listening to you play (love your other videos too). I listen to random coffee shop jazz music when doing school work and it would be really cool if you made a 1 or 10 compilation of you just playing.
Congrats! I couldn't stop smiling while hearing you play, just so musical!
Congrats Charles, also amazing playing as always
Such lyricism in your lines and phrases! I would love to learn from someone as practiced as you.
sounds so nice! beefy low mids and a husky tone that really soothes the attack. Love it! congrats
It's not about the grand piano, but it's the 3-shot take.
Beautiful playing as always, but I can't be the only one that wonders how they got that piano in that room?
They usually appear out of nowhere at any given time. You’re chosen to learn the piano by the Yamaha gods, and you have to otherwise you’ll die
Sideways, with the legs off
Big congrats to you dude! The hard work pays off
well deserved. some really lovely moments in this piece, too. Congrats man!
Nice
Have you ever noticed you arch your back alot? Is better for piano players to keep an arched back?
no, its opposite u should have a better posture
lmao no it's worse, I just have bad posture
Glenn Gould had bad posture
Real jazz pianists arch their back and forget how to hold up their heads.
@@CharlesCornellStudios lol
You DEFINITELY deserve it. Congrats! I hope to hear lots of music of yours from that awesome new piano :)
I love listening to you play. It really feels like you “play” when you play piano. So interesting.
Makes me feel like I'm sitting in an upscale bar in New Orleans at 2 a.m., nursing a drink I'd never have in real life (something with "vermouth" in it, probably)
your style is genuinely one of my favorites, such a beautiful mixture of classic blues form and jazz reharmonization in such a beautiful way that your ear never gets bored, cant wait for more videos where i get to hear this :D
the classic jazz posture
I’ve been waiting for this. I’m so happy for you
