      Nice Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for learning piano fast without the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend Sam finally got amazing success with it.

    Bill Evans is playing with other musicians, so all he needs are shells for his left hand. But for solo piano, it helps to have some roots and voicings in the left hand (as I saw you doing!). Thanks for another great lesson!

      Bill Evans is my God , funny as I am full atheist, I own many many vinyls from way back and CDs .
      Now « to play like Bill Evans »
      is shocking vanity if I may say so, nothing wrong with your musical science , your dexterity but it. ain’t the real thing and how could it be?
      To be sure I pulled out my 59
      vinyl of Portrait and listen to both versions of Autumn leaves ......,, of course Scott Lafaro is fabulous ( what a tragic loss) and Paul Motian
      as well and both bring the rendition to its perfection.
      In fact your exercice looks like a lesson by an art teacher
      who tries to dissect a work by VanGogh brush stroke by brush stroke after having identified the chemical composition of the colours.
      Technically remarkable but
      no soul, no Schmertz, no genius.
