As a solo yes I do like the left-hand strumming effect and bes an amazing pianist but when I listen to errol he plays quietly and more poetically but both excellent versions ...have a good day sir ..enjoy the music
Yes haha! Lay your hands gently on the strings and you get this kind of effect. The only other pianist I know who uses this technique somewhat frequently is Oscar Peterson, although he would usually just use it to strike the opening chord like in his rendition of Corcovado. I have also heard Emmet Cohen use it for an entire solo on Tea for Two. But I've never heard anyone do it quite like this guy, it really does sound just like a guitar.
Hopefully you can answer. Am i correct in assuming this standard is in the key of F? I am a jazz newbie and so it is a struggle for me to figure chords and keys for jazz standards.
You are correct. It starts in Dm, but Dm and F major are relative scales/ keys. They have therefor the same key signature. This one is in F because the last chord and lowest note are F. That is generally the rule in determining tonality.
Get the right atmosphere and one of those early pianos and I swear I would go listen to this guy cos it would save me having to make two of the three trips I'd have to make to hear Peterson and Garner and this kind of combinational playing...
He needs to grunt occasionally. 😂 I saw Errol twice and he was perhaps more laid back but his rhythm section fouled it up for him. He was the original after all but Brams’ masterful interpretation is an absolute blast. What talent.
It’s sounds like he’s inspired by Nat King Cole too. He plays in the same key Nat does in his instrumental rendition of this song. Both are obviously distinct, and absolutely shred this song.
Great improvisation, but the pounding left hand chords become tiresome very quickly. My brain becomes locked on the LH repetition, and the rest becomes lost after a while.
This is one of the greatest things I've ever heard. I think I watched this 100 times. You are a god.
Only to you sir or ma'am, but yes confirmed, he is elite...
Bramtastic!!!
Glad you like it. Thanks
Love, love, love it !!
Errol Garner and except he plays even better and with more syncopation. I like the improves strumming! This is first class!
Better than errol garner..cmon sir
Well maybe that's an exaggeration to compare him with Garner, but for this song I prefer him. This guy is an amazing pianist.😎

He's sensational and doesn't look at the keys hardly at all. Quite impressive!!
Thank you for your nice compliment
Fuck that's fantastic
Is that the piano doing the guitar strums during the bass solo?

Wow, this is awesome! I might have to learn the first minute and sample it. Sounds incredible, sir!
incredible sound and style, very inspired by this
Great!!
FUN!!! 😀
Beautiful

I've been playing piano for 40 yrs now I'm starting all over again after hearing this...
It's quite clear that you and Garner are blood brothers or slow down dude or the Bolt might beat you...
Absolutely brilliant and so effortless! ❤
Geweldig
Wow!
Spectacular!
An incredible talent!!
Awsome

A God given talent. I could never figure out how play octaves without fumbling over the keys . He shows us how, with no effort.
Not god given, but given by time, hard work, practice and dedication.
Awesome playing man! It sounds like a mixture of Erroll, Bebop, sometimes even has a ragtimey feel. Amazing!
Great improvisation, but the pounding left hand chords become tiresome very quickly. My brain becomes locked on the LH repetition, and the rest becomes lost after a while.
You understand nothing.
Cool, listen to something else then...
Who and what is this comment for?
The pianist is clearly talented but it's just one of those caricatures of Erroll Garner's style. Erroll was unique!
Eroll was unique. Ok he was. SO WHAT ?
Those bebop lines are not somethiong Errol would play. This is clearly a mix of influences. And can no one use Errol as an inspiration? Why not?
