When Sir Derek commented, “I like that one, Matt.” after hearing When Somebody Loves Me from Toy Story, it showed me his feelings towards what he hears and plays. It’s such a tender and musically pleasing song. As is Derek. I like it too, Derek. Well done.
What's especially remarkable is how Derek hears the tunes and essentially fractalizes them, in essence creating an infinitly complex rendition of each tune. It's as if Derek is the very essence of nature itself.

Derek is such a gift to the world
I heard Derek sing a little bit! He's got a great singing voice too. This guy is a legend!
Thank you to those of you who help to make this possible!
When somebody loved me gave me chills, thanks for looking that on up. I love what he did with it.
Derek seems like such a nice and kind man

TALENT
I would request the beginning of Keith greens prodigal son suite
awesome
Derek, you are an example to follow how much good you do with your music🎹😊❤️👍👍
I absolutely adored that interpretation of Scott Walker's Butterfly at 38:39. Incredible technique! Thank you
Yeah that was brilliant
I think Derek would have a lot of fun with Living in the Sunlight, Loving in the Moonlight
Brilliant as always.
Has Derek ever listened to Jacob Collier? It would be interesting to listen to his interpretation of some of Jacob's pieces.
How does one interpret dreams? 😂 That would be an amazing collab from two beautiful souls brimming with musical talent.
He reminds me of Elton John mixed with Matt Damon, and that is a compliment!
Derek needs a mic. It would be nice to hear what he is saying during playing.
Played on a Grand Piano.
Nice rendition!
Damn I missed it. I would have requested stars on the waves by Jacky Vincent
From Brazil. Ask him "one note Samba " Errol Garner version
Here I am can't even play Twinkle Twinle littler stars :(
I could do that.
Well, that first part...
Maybe.
I just need about 3 or 4 years and I'm _sure_ I could.
Probably...
Could you listen and learn the song "Skippy" by Thelonioua Monk and play It sometime on your request show. Thanks for all you give.
Alecia Shepherd "Moonlight through the Frost"
Take the "A" train played by Michel Petrucciani.
Can you play any tunes by Thelonious Monk. Criss-Cross,
39:59
My request for the next live…
- Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins 😊
Thanks Derek
