Joe Holt - On the Sunny Side of the Street - 8/9/07

- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2024
- This is the "realm" in which I do much playing (performing), but few see. This was recorded on 8/9/07 in a nursing home in Denton, Md. As (now) a "music therapist" (MT-BC), I have more access and opportunity to make connections and provide benefit to seniors in nursing care. Much of what I do in this environment though remains, essentially; entertainment programming. In a group setting such as this, I rely solely on the music to make the connection and provide the benefit.
FYI - Ian Pallister was kind enough to transcribe and make available a full sheet music version of this post: www.ipallister....
Thanks, Ian!
I have enjoyed this recording since 2007 when i was 14 years old... This is one of my favorite solo jazzpiano recordings EVER bcause it makes me smile every time!!! THANKS!
And this makes me smile :)
Thank you!
I never tire of listening to you play this tune..It is just great! They played this at my mother's funeral,,not traditional, but what is Heaven but the "Sunny Side Of The Street!" It was also one of her favorite songs
Best performance of sunny side of the street for me
Maybe the first pianist I hear that brought the most happy piano of Erroll Garner back to life.
Toca, improvisa y disfruta. Eso es ser un.MÚSICO completo!
What better way to start the day listening to Joe Holt play "Sunny Side Of The St." You are an inspiration....definitely one of God's kids. What a gift He has given you!!!!!....and me!!
Super great original treatment of a great song. Glad I surfed into it.
Thanks!!
It is now 2020, this was the first time I heard you..I felt like I had struck gold. I have had the pleasure of listening to you for the past 13 years. I continue listening to your awesome style and my appreciation just grows and grows. Keep that music going Mr Holt!
The bright shining essence of this song. Got it!
Just found this video, beautiful!
i stumbled on this today. What a find!!!!! I was playing this tune on my melodica and thought it would be fun to play to a jazz pianist. Go Joe! Wonderful improv!!!!
Fantastic stuff. I also play at some nursing homes, but don't have any where near your skills...so good...thanks for sharing...
@joeholtsnotes I really enjoy it !every time you make me so happy!Never get bored.
Actually, it's all improv. Most of my training (way back when) is classical, but have learned that my best expressions are "in the moment". As such, I have devoted myself solely to the development of improvisational performance. If you like this kind of playing, I would suggest looking for transcriptions of jazz pianists whose style you like. A goal for me down the road is to publish some of my own transcriptions, but I'm not there yet. Thanks for the nice comment!
This is definitely one of the best versions I've ever heard. 👍👍👍
Thank you for this! What I wish you; is that you indeed have enjoyment (as I do) from each note you play. It matters less what you play, and more the mindset you bring with you to the piano bench.
After 30+ years of (full time) gigging, something ought to stick upstairs :) Thanks!
I'm overwhelmed with happiness. thanks to you and Ian Pallister. I'll start learning it tonight!!
I love your version of this great tune, Joe. I also love your thoughtful responses to the many comments. You are generous with your time and talents.
Thank you so much!
Youre performance is one of my favorite version of this mucsic!
Congratullations !!!
Very spiritual, gentle and bluesy interpretation !!!
This is great Joe, thanks! Really joyous - never fails to make you smile.
Love it, shear poetry at the keys. If I was in the nursing home, I would't let you go home! They are very fortunate people to have you.
I’ve been listening this video and playing this piece for about five years now. Thanks to Ian Pallisters transcription. This piece has taught me to smile, improvise, and enjoy the rhythm and melody. It’s also taught me to use chromatics more in improvisation. there are lots of examples here of chromatics going up and down and then landing on just the right note. Just love it 😁
Thanks so much!
I listen to you play this everyday!! Just keeps sounding better and better...It was great from the first time I heard it though!!
I like the way you look like you are enjoying this as much as I did listening to it. My new years resolution is to learn this version. Wish me luck.
That's very kind of you. And, yes, I certainly am blessed. Bless you for encouraging others!
Joe!! My name is also Joe, and I play a little bit of piano. Your talent really comes through with your right hand stuff and impeccable sense of rhythm and harmony in the left hand. I love the 7ths in the l.h. Please forgive me if I try to emulate your style. You truly have the gift!
Fantastic, bravo.Felicitaciones , hermosa music.....
Just found you! Love your style! Wonderful
Thank you for sharing its helped me improve my skills on piano and I like the way you try to find eye contact with the crowd. I play piano volunteer for hospitals and nursing homes too.
Another great! One of my favorite songs, and you play it the way I like to hear it! Oh how I ejoyed!!
Really great! I love this song, and I love to sing as I play, and listening to and watching you ahs really given me great ideas and inspiration for performing! Thanks a lot! You are great! And I love your solo style!
You are so good! I love all your work.
You are just too nice! - and a real encouragement - thank you!
I love it, bud!!! I'm learning. Want to get as good as you.
Bravo! Love your playing.
Thank you. :)
nice! i listen to this at least once a day!
Love your face.! Of course music,too!
I saw this a hundred times,
love from Japan.
Thanks - a welcome encouragement, for sure!
On the Sunny Side ... of the Street.. Hey, Joe..
Thanks! In a nursing home environment however, something else may be understood by "tipping" :)
Appreciate the kind remark, and your playing as well.
You got it!
The intro is so perfect !
Congratulation for being such a good musician ! And thank you too piano511 for the notes !
you are an incredible person! :]
:)
This is a great version...nice playin!
Thanks!
Thank you!
You got a lot of soul man! Great cover
Thanks!
Thank you. Regardless of how high profile a gig I've played, or may play, the most rewarding, and beautiful moments happen in these care settings, particularly when visiting one on one, which, of course, are not recorded (nor are any residents visible on these posted cuts). When a resident "protests" besause it is time for me to leave, I always say with a smile: "I can't come back again unless I leave first". So far no one has abducted me :)
love it! and that's awesome how you're a music therapist. i'm studying to become a music therapist
I can`t speak English very well, but I want to tell you~
I like this song, and your playing is so cool!
More than all, your smile makes me happy~
And I hope watch your next lesson video~ (If you have spare time)
Uauuuu! Muito bom. Adorei. 🇧🇷👏👏👏
Hi Joe, this is great!!!! do you have a transcription please? I would love to learn it your way. thanks. Philip.
Much appreciated. Thanks!
@obasantanuki Thank you! Sounds like you are very patient and tolerant (a hundred times) :)
Thanks!
Thanks! I'm glad this connects with you. Forgive you? No - making connections and "passing it along" is what it's all about!
You don't live in the netherlands by any change so you can teach me the piano like you play it!. It is a joy to listen to you play!!!!
VERY nice....thank you...!!
Thanks so much for your interest in this! I am away from home, and easy access to check fingerings on the transcription. It's kind of funny - the improvisation is natural communication (like speaking), but reading the transcription of what I played is more tedious (like translating). I would feel funny requesting something be transcribed, but I'm sure Ian would be pleased to know that you have expressed interest in his transcriptions, and that you are working with this one.
Of the many videos I've posted, you just happened to pick the one that someone has posted a transcription to (it's a very tedious process for me. I've been working on a transcription of one of my improvisations for many months). Just added the link to the video description.
Thanks for your kind comment!
Encouragement is good - thanks!
@hanojekcim Thanks! Your assumption is that chord scales (introduced in the be-bop era) underlie all jazz improvisation. I came up in a different "school". Never before in music history (to my understanding) was musical performance/composition conceived using this thinking. Playing music should be a similar process to speaking, or conversing. Use whatever you have available to you in the moment. Seek to grow your vocabulary, but place no agendas on performance. Hope this is helpful.
How nice can you be? Thank you! Now if it were early January instead of late December, I might have taken this differently :)
Where can I find the Joe Holt at Maybeck Recital Hall CD? I would definitely buy that one!
Ho Joe. I'm having a ball! about half way through. can we please ask mr pallister to do your zipdedeedoda please? what do u think? thanks again. Philip.
This swings! Awesome
Thanks! :)
Hi, It's so nice ! I'm a french pianist, and I'm learning this song. I have the score, but I'd like to play your intro, and I can't hear all the notes that you play in the begining (from 0:13 to 0:18). Could you tell me the notes you play (whithout the rythm). It's not easy to learn this music in france, because all the "masters" live in USA.. :-)
I would easilly understand if you couldn't answer me.
Thanks (and sorry for my poor english)
sweet playing!
***** Thank you!
@joeholtsnotes oh thank you mr :) yes it's really helpful.
thanks allot, greetings from germany
You are playing it wonderfully.
How to get the medium file of this recording?
No, I think the commute would be prohibitive :) But - I do have an new instructional series that will be listed on my website in the coming days. I'll send you more info. Thanks for the kind comment!
great this perfomance like a erroll garner style, Nice ;-) !!!!
Smoking.. !!!! Bravo !!
@FortFrozen Thank you!
@obasantanuki I truly appreciate your comment. Thank you!
Wonderful (both, the music and its use ...)! Wolf/Kyoto
hi, you playing is soooo great! i'm a jazz pianist myself as long as i can think :D
how do use the scales? which scales do you use? major and minor (in the minor part of course) or mixo. or anything else?
so keep swinging :)
Hi Joe thanks for your reply.
This might be a silly question...but are you well known as a pianist whereever you live, because I saw some film with other musicians. I only heard you play for the first time a couple of days ago so I'm just curious.
regards,
Bob
