This was almost one month to the day before the accident that most likely ended this kind of performance forever. No one else plays like this. He was such an amazing musician and such a fun, wonderful person.
thejulster Riley Julia, everyone really appreciates your care for Tom and the updates you provide us. I am extremely thankful for them. Is there a way I could send Tom a letter? I think of him every day and hope for some form of recovery. Tom is the most inspirational musician out there
This just makes me so happy. But also sad at the same time. I really hope and pray that Tom is able to make a full recovery and be able to play like this again.
@@friedhelmdonitz8611 He was in a very severe car accident that led to him being in a medically-induced coma for about a month, if I'm not mistaken. Ron O'Dell, of the RUclips channel Keeper1st ( ruclips.net/channel/UCaZJPiTaMvNXmFHGXDizzYQ ), knows the most about him.
@@friedhelmdonitz8611 he got in a car crash and got bad brain damage. To add on, it doesn’t seem like the family is inclined to help get his piano career back up and running 😢
@@jasonkatz3631 Non-musical people just can't understand the immense amount of talent and skill needed to play as well as Tom. They probably think "oh he just played piano for fun, lots of people do," Meanwhile I've played piano for 20 years, can easily learn songs by ear and have perfect pitch, but I'll never come close to Tom's skill, dude is a genuine genius.
so... i'm just here diving in the rabbithole that is ragtime. i haven't really known this before and it's pretty much the "partiest" music i've heard in my life... anyways, that rabbithole leads me deeper and deeper into this thin, and i grin wider and wider as this is just music that makes me immensly happy. i stumble on this absolute legend, dive into the comments to find out who he is or where to go to see him perform life, and then.... well back into depression.... guess i'll dive through more of those tom brier videos to get happy again
Keep digging into this rabbithole! I had the same moments 3-4 years ago and still listen to Tom and to Ragtime every day. Take a close look at his albums Constellations and Blue Sahara! True masterpieces. Tom is a legend, and the whole Ragtime community is also something really special!
I will say that Tom Brier is one of the LOUDEST and also most ACCURATE pianists I've ever heard play live. (of course he could also play quite soft as well).
This video is over 5 years old at this point, got 63,000 views and only 2 dislikes. Good on Tom himself hopefully he's going to be back playing like this as soon as can be.
He's a computer programmer so he does have quite some money. But he was in a car wreck and still hasn't fully recovered from the hospital so he's on a temporary hiatus.
Замечательный музыкант. Я не была в Америке и увидела игру Тома на ютубе случайно. Потом перевела, как смогла, информацию о Томе, от всей души желаю ему поправиться и вернуться к нормальной жизни насколько это возможно
It was a damn shame what happened to Tom. If he'd gotten the physical therapy he'd needed right after his accident instead of being neglected, he might've already started playing like this again.
What's up with the plastic wrap(?) on the piano? I work for a piano dealer and we've rented many pianos to outdoor events and never needed to treat any of them. Tom is excellent as always.
This piano is on an outdoor stage under a tent at the Scott Joplin International Ragtime Festival in Sedalia, Missouri. I believe the local piano dealer rented the instrument so only they could say for sure what is up with that. But it is some very flat thin foam padding which is taped around the leg. Possibly the movers forgot to take it off in their haste unloading the instrument on the stage.
The left hand is a nightmare in this piece if you want to play it at a fun tempo. The jumps themselves aren't that hard but keeping up the rhythm for the entire piece is exhausting, one needs to be 100% relaxed and also confident in the notes to make it work.
I think he’s still on the journey to recovering he got in a bad car accident when he crashed head on to another car and he got a severe brain trauma where he was in a rehab facility where he had to learn to walk and speak when the family didn’t know the people there didn’t teach him anything as they wanted to “silence him”
Tom Brier is the real Man of Jazz. Well, Swansson too. Hyman is a supervirtuous perfofmer with the jazz feeling, and composer. Stefany Trick, Jimin Park (JiminDorothy) are the multi-style virtuoses. Isn't it?
God gave us a beautifull planet God gave us music He gave us a Body and yet how do we honour Him the answer is not as we should But God is so gracious that he made us a plan to escape from his wrath that whosoever has faith in the only son of God, Jesus Christ who died for our sins and rose again 3 days later will be saved once you truly trusted in Jesus you get another gift from God, besides eternal life, wich is the Holy Spirit who comes to seal you until the day of salvation
@@epochthedog that is sad to hear but im not proclaiming religiosity im proclaiming faith in the only son of God whoever believes that Jesus is the son of God and that God raised him from the dead will not be condemned but will receive everlasting life
if your life then is everlasting how can your life be ruined? i dont know what you went through but i do know that whatever it was your life has not ended and if your life has not ended then if you just have a little faith God will certainly give you peace of mind. scripture says once we are saved the Holy Sprit comes to live inside us if God, the creator of the universe, if part of him lives inside us He will surely guide you to what is truly true and what is deceiption
He will definitely go down in history as the best Ragtime Pianist ever. Well, to me anyway. I know i'm gonna raise hell to make sure people know about him 20 years from now.
The sheet music I can find doesn't have the ornamentation and the other cool little stuff he throws in there. Guess we have to settle for the lite version :_(
You can learn performances by ear if you do enough ear-training. You can even take courses in ear training and interval training. You may need to play it back multiple times to get it. I have learned entire complicated rags from 100 year old recordings by playing the recording back enough times (also slowed down; there is software such as "The Amazing SlowDowner" and "Transcribe!" which helps you do this). And I don't have perfect pitch. So it's possible.
@@andrewbarrett1537bravo. Its a FACT that no matter how many tools you give people, they will ALWAYS find a way to say that they can’t figure out how to get simple things done 😂

I can only hope he is able to perform these sorts of pieces in the future, considering his accident. I hope he fully recovers soon!
Tell me please what accident happened to him?

This is an insane level of skill. It looks like his left arm is disembodied. Insane!
He is a great pianist, there are few musicians like him in the world.
You mean was, because he went in a car crash and he lost the ability to speak and play the piano
God of ragtime

Oh Honey, don't go there. It's to sad to think.

That's country music! And also ragtime for that matter.
Kár hogy a legjobb számok nincsenek fent spotify-on!!!!!!
Good work, well played.
this is incredible, sounds so good and it is actually quite simple to learn, there arent many flat/sharp tones
The mic is dancing!
This song kind of sounds like "Funfair Fever" from Cuphead, or the Athletic theme in Super Mario World
This song actually inspired the Funfair Fever theme from Cuphead.
Draco456 And who is the composer of this?
Chiryu the man playing the piano, well at least he's part of it
FainterStreak maybe those songs are based off of this one.
@@ventana6588 although Tom would never admit it, I believe he wrote this tune. I have an original manuscript of it in his handwriting.

They took it down does anyone have a copy I can have

+A Kim It's a collaboration by Tom Brier and Eric Marchese.
how long has Tom been playing piano?
Captain Obvious I think since he was 8 years old.
Jason Pelrine oh my, that's quite alot
He actually started at the age of 5
Captain Obvious since he was 4
While he was in the womb.
I SWEAR I hear a banjo.
Oh God now I hear it too
You should hear a YEEHAW too, as it is in the score 😉
Scary 😅

1:03 Mario and Cuphead inspiration
Nope cuphead was inspired by this
God gave us a beautifull planet
God gave us music
He gave us a Body
and yet how do we honour Him
the answer is not as we should
But God is so gracious that he made us a plan to escape from his wrath
that whosoever has faith in the only son of God, Jesus Christ
who died for our sins and rose again 3 days later
will be saved
once you truly trusted in Jesus you get another gift from God, besides eternal life, wich is the Holy Spirit

great performance tom brier surely is amazing, heard he is recovering well support from australia
Tom is a fucking legend. Get better soon
Is this improvised?
Tom Brier NEVER plays any rag as written. He always improvises at least a little bit.
I'm always amazed people aren't clapping, whooping and dancing along to such music! Incredible ^___^
Thank god they are not. This is Tom's best performance of this piece which makes this my favorite Tom video ever.
Maybe some are, but since they're not miked we can't hear 'em.
They are whooping quite loudly in the video of "Cannon Ball Rag" from the same set.
I would love you to come to Newfoundland and be inspired with our culture. You are absolutely amazing. 💯
