    Man, you have a relaxed touch I would kill for...but that would interfere with me pounding on the keys like they broke into my house or something so I'll just enjoy you showing me how it's done instead:) Just amazing to me what you can conjure up on the piano, and being honest, any instrument I've heard you play. Such a keen sense of the movement in the music.

    I'd never would have thought of mashing up Thelonious Monk and Keith Emerson together in a same piece, but that makes much sense. And dang, does she swings ! Thanks for sharing this, Rachel !

      Keith himself had done it.

      Keith would often throw in quotes from other composers into his improvisations! It's part of the jazz tradition :)

      @@RachelFlowersMusic Yes, I know that ! I was first introduced to Keith's music in 1971 with The Nice's "Elegy", followed shortly after by the first ELP album by my older brother. I was nine then, loved it instantly, and I can say that Keith made a great part in my musical education, with his blend of classical, jazz and blues playing. I admit that I never really listened to Thelonious Monk, and I'm not familiar enough to spot his material. For instance, it took me years to identify a quote in his "The Sheriff" ragtime ending on the "Welcome Back My Friends", as Rachmaninoff's famous "Prelude". I knew this tune for sure, but I had no Idea who wrote this. And once again, mashing up ragtime and Rachmaninoff !!! Who would think of that? Anyway, thank you for the reply, and Rachel, you are a gift to my old ears, and I love those videos that show how truly you enjoy playing music.

      'Tarkus' is full of Monk-isms, particularly Eruption. I had to explain all this to my college piano teacher to teach him to teach me!

    I was lucky enough to hear Monk with Charles Rouse & 4tet at Queensboro Community College in the 1970s. One thing I noticed in your amazing performance is that you actually play every note that Monk would play only as a glissando on the black keys. Please tour on the east coast!

    Is there a genre she doesn't excel at? I've heard her give us classical, jazz, pop, progressive rock, hard rock, swing...
    I don't think she's posted any boogie-woogie, but I have no doubt she would be superb.

    Really, the ease with which you play makes us ecstatic and expectant with the mastery of the musicality of the notes used.
    You make it look easy... but it's not... it's extremely difficult, as we just heard, played perfectly.
