I would've threw something at his head, walked up to the piano and told everyone go home and they don' deserve this level of genius. Eldar never fails. Top 5 !!!!
Absolutely insane. This is the best performance of donna lee i've ever heard. The way this guy makes every single note sound so clean and crisp whilst playing at a million miles per hour is unbelievable.
I'm listening to this just after hearing of today's passing of Chick Corea, and despite the crushing magnitude of that loss, I'm feeling like the magic WILL continue. Thank you, Gentlemen.
Usually I'm not that much into this heavy Bebop stuff. But this feels like heaven! To take those long known lines and scales to such a level of creativity (and speed) is just crazy. Really outstanding!
This audience had no concept of the brilliant genius that just played for them. Eldar is a one-man hurricane with chops forever and technique. Russian pianism meets Kansas City Jazz, he is one of the most formidable jazz pianists on the planet. I love hearing him on recordings as well as in live performance. Brilliant, and I was there when he played dueling pianos with Taylor Eigsti at Piedmont Piano a few years back. Unbelievable piano playing !!! Magnificent !! Bravo, Eldar !!!!
C'mon, give them a break. They were there, they could have stayed home. Many of them may have heard lots of great jazz in their lives and wanted to be fully present. I think whooping and hollering is silly and also disrespectful to the people who want to hear every note, not to mention the musicians who are concentrating so hard.
That was Oscar Peterson on speed! There are numerous things to be completely amazed about when it comes to Eldar's playing, but what consistently blows me away almost every time is his absolutely unwavering sense of time. When he had that dual meter thing going on... give me a break!
blacknight39 OK OK, wasn't necessarily trying to draw a comparison with Oscar. Lol (even though I did mention his name LOL)That man is a freak. But, that doesn't take anything away from Eldar. He can surely stand with the best of 'em !
+blacknight39 Of course Eldar doesn't "swing" like OP. Nobody really "swings" these days. Swinging was the thang in Oscar's time, but it's a new era (for better or worse) and the swing thing is in the past, like Be Bop - even though that's what I love best...but that's because I'm an older man. Technically, though, OP had nothing on this Eldar kid. Both are/were incredibly gifted. Listen to Barry Harris do this number in that hard Bop style. He swings the hell out of that song, though he has no where near the wizardry of this kid. Nevertheless, I can appreciate both what Barry Harris does on this number and what Eldar does. But Art Tatum is still the 20th century god of the piano, and come to think of it, he didn't really "swing" that much himself - being more of a bridge between the stride and be bop eras.
I was just shooting from the hip 'cause I was so in awe regarding his playing and technique. Wasn't trying to lower Oscar, only elevate Eldar. He just blows me away.
Had the pleasure of being on a jazz cruise and saw him several times in a seven day span. It was truly a musical experience!!!! Will never forget that week.
Eldar's not only a genius with great technique, he conveys a broadly diversified sense of musical feeling which exhibits passion, beauty and burning intensity. The solo development here contains many surprises and demonstrates a deep respect for jazz history by incorporating elements of stride piano, mainstream bebop and hard bop. And he does so seamlessly with plenty of space... but absolutely no gaps.
I love Eldar's rendition! Truly awesome, and all the dudes brought their A-game. Thank you for the great performance! I really love how he made the piece smolder at the beginning: you could tell even better things were coming after the intro...
Greetings. I was introduced to you about 20 years ago by a drummer who knew music. You were a breath of fresh air early on. Four years ago, I saw Chris Botti in Tucson, and there you were. I hope the music industry is treating you well. Your technique is impeccable and inspiring. The love of playing shines through. Peace and blessing to you and your family. I hope everyone you love is safe.
I wanted to thank everybody here for tuning in and listening! I'm especially happy to hear that the music connected with you!
+Eldar Djangirov When do you come to England?
+Eldar Djangirov It's beautiful!! :) Way to go!
Eldar Djangirov b,,
thanks you
lightenin this cold world
Hopefully soon!
I would've threw something at his head, walked up to the piano and told everyone go home and they don' deserve this level of genius. Eldar never fails. Top 5 !!!!
when he's playing so good you gotta attack him and clear the venue 😭
Absolutely insane. This is the best performance of donna lee i've ever heard. The way this guy makes every single note sound so clean and crisp whilst playing at a million miles per hour is unbelievable.
How the crowd can remain so calm ? I would be like WTF :)
"Kids these days with their jazz shredding, buncha degenerate showoffs" (unaware of course that their generation did it first)
Can't believe no one clapped for the Intro nor the Piano Solo... WTF! Killing solo Eldar!
Unbelievable.
People was too mesmerized to clap 👏👏👏
I wish music like this was more acknowledged and popular
It’s amazing what passes for music these days
it will never be, music will continue to decline 😭
Honestly I think this is my favorite Donna Lee, unbelievable wish I could watched this live
His dexterity is unreal!😮
Эльдар, ты поцелованный богом музыкант. Ваша команда просто великолепная. Браво!!!
I'm listening to this just after hearing of today's passing of Chick Corea, and despite the crushing magnitude of that loss, I'm feeling like the magic WILL continue.

Dude. This was SO good. One of the best "Donna Lee" performances I've heard.
3:44 Ami11, Abmi11, Gmi11, F# mi11 then back in!! So dope!!!
Yeah, love that shit.
I had to rewind that 3 times when I heard it, absolutely brilliant
@@UkuleleAversion is that you Charlie? ;-)
@@chrrev1 I wish, my cat is called Charlie though
quote from Chick Corea's 'Humpty Dumpty'
4:18 How the hell did the sound engineer extract such an authentic sound using just overheads and kick mic????!! It's mind-blowing!
ikr?
common practice in jazz. still amazing, though
That's all you need. That's how it was always done back then before people thought more mics = better.
Interesting, but it depends on the place acoustics. 🎉❤
Thank the drummer.
My man got that left hand working, don't he? That opening piano solo was well-worth the visit I was fortunate enough to take here. Great trio work.
His taceting left hand from 2:42 to 3:13 does more work in 31 seconds than both my hands in a three hour gig. LoL
that 5/4 ending on the ellington ending was sick lol
Wow - Eldar, you are insanely good. Congratulations on achieving this outstanding level of ability! I know how much work goes into it.
Terence Koo thank you for the positive comment - I appreciate it!
Eldar you are ridiculous. incredible playing wish i could be like you

Drummer: what tempo would you like to go
Eldar: "yes"
"JAZZ IS ALIVE! !" Elgar and trio, you guys are awesome.....
Eddie Grey "Elgar and trio," Now that would be REALLY interesting....!
Super!!!
This is sick... I'm speachless...
speechless *
Grinned the whole time!
0:00 to 6:45 is the best part
I strive to perform like this
Me as well
Technique is unbelievable dude.
after having heard this I'll never touch a piano again 😮💨
I think this is one of the most brilliant recordings I've ever heard, perfect sound and a perfect performance by this band.
I so agree. I come back to it every few months. It's been years
Miles Davis wrote "Donna Lee"!!!
Bruh

Eldar is a monster plain and simple... small hands or not.

Yes, saxophone - 35 yrs or so. Absolutely love jazz!
That outro vamp! GEESH!!!
Praise the Lord, didn't know bebop could make me emotional. That was so good!
That was just obscene. Holy sh**!!! aMAZING
Great Massimo Biolcati! Developer of iReal App!!!
Well, that's another tune I'll never play again.
Come on!!!!!! 👍
play it differently. You don't have to run all those scales, you can think melodically. Melodically? OH NO, heresy!
Had the pleasure of being on a jazz cruise and saw him several times in a seven day span. It was truly a musical experience!!!! Will never forget that week.
Guy in back drops his phone at 4:05 :)
you guys remineded me why i even bothered getting into jazz
Jesus Christ this is mind blowing.
Wow, I've been practicing this at 90 bpm. Its stunning to hear it played so perfectly at that speed.
Eldar's not only a genius with great technique, he conveys a broadly diversified sense of musical feeling
which exhibits passion, beauty and burning intensity. The solo development here contains many surprises
and demonstrates a deep respect for jazz history by incorporating elements of stride piano, mainstream

Truly one of the greats, phenomenal 😮 was lucky to have a lesson with him in 2013. Wisdom, hard work, personified
素晴らしい！
This man is a genius...Wooww!!!! I don't what time i'll watch this....
Just a blur of sheer brilliance...
First time listening and….
Mind
Blown
Apart
Find someone who looks at you the way the bass player does at 1:48
2:20
Holy phoque! I am so glad I found this!
All these guys play very clean. Very precise timing.
Thank you for your comment. Your observation is very keen - timing/phrasing is certainly a crucial musical component. Thanks for listening!
Thanks for the miracles!
I love Eldar's rendition! Truly awesome, and all the dudes brought their A-game. Thank you for the great performance! I really love how he made the piece smolder at the beginning: you could tell even better things were coming after the intro...

0:45 even the bassist is really feeling it man.
Staggering talent! I went to the top jazz school in the United States, University of North Texas, and no one can touch this guy.
Very very nice Eldar❤👍
Bravo Eldar!
