- Bill takes All The Things You Are, and Sophisticated Lady from the fabled Tin Pan Alley Songbook and uses them to illustrate how a jazz musician can honor tradition and still be on the cutting edge of the improvisational invention in the KNKX Seattle Studios on October 24, 2012.
I am happy to be back on the bandstand this week with this young chap. He has included me in a series of duets at Birdland Jazz Club (NYC) …#livemusicisback
Ron, you and Bill are my legends!
You're my favorite bass player!
Ron = jazz master ....Ciao from Italy
This short clip just reinforces my thought that Mr. Charlap is the pianist I'd choose to hear over all other living pianists today. His blend of subtlety, technique, and interpretation of the American songbook is just pure joy to hear.
With the possible exception of the amazing pianist he is married to.
A very fine tribute indeed.

Wow......
Was privileged and blessed to have patronized her concert at the NCPA Mumbai in 2012. Many thanks to Mr. Sunil Sampat , who was chiefly responsible for bringing her.
The art of jazz piano! What a fantastic musician!
This is the most beautifully dynamic upright piano I've heard.
It’s incredible.
Yamaha U3. I have one in my dining room. $13,800 new. Sounds like a million bucks, no? I make recording off it with a $200 x-y condensor pair. People cannot believe the sound.
@@kipleitner6939 I think it might be one of the ones with the X shaped timbers on the back U3X
Beautifully elegant jazz playing
Bill's touch is beyond compare frankly, I think he's really underrated!
Dan Clarkson Who is overrated then, pf jazz pianists, and who is accurately rated?
Watching Bill's hands in the overhead shots -- mesmerizing.
What a lovely touch he has, no harshness or banging of the keys that a lot of pianists do whether intentionally or otherwise.
Beautiful "Bill Evan" like voicing.............Beautiful touch! And boy do I love stride playing!!!
A lovely smooth touch of the old ivories. 👍
His playing always make me think of New York.
Same
There are 10 fools who do not understand music that came to this page. Who would ever thumbs down this brilliance except for someone who hates their life?
great voicings, great taste, great improvisation skills
His playing is absolutely exquisite! So engaging. Wow
Thank you for the excellent music.....Charlap is wonderful....
Dear Bill, listening to You caress the ivories is an experience, most DIVINE.
That silken touch , you're breathtaking progressions, enhance the beauty of these Gems by more than a notch.
God Bless and Protect You and Dear Renee, too.
I had the privilege of patronizing her concert at the NCPA, Mumbai in 2012.
Mr. Sunil Sampat, of the Jazz Addicts, arranged for her to perform for our listening pleasure.
The best pianist alive.
I agree
Me too. @@rhythmfield
Great jazz pianist playing a beautifully tuned and voiced upright. I want that piano!
Saw him yesterday at the RIJF. Wow! Made me come here.
Excellent little solo examples. Thanks for uploading. I love his left hand and body movements.
Мой любимый Bill Charlap, сколько незабываемых музыкальных переживаний ты доставил!
Very well played! You've got it all!
Notable entry into You Tube ;-), Ron Carter
Man.. this made me remember when I was dying to go to a college at NJ ,i believe, where he was the director of the program. Sadly jazz conservatories still did not yet accept many variety of instruments. Big fan over here Bill. Hope to some day meet this guy.
What’s your instrument ?
An amazing jazz pianist!
I watchdd this years ago, and i decided to go back and gesr it again, yep he sounds amazing
A pianist of supreme touch and taste.
Seeing him tomorrow night!
wow!!!! one of my favorite videos on RUclips. thank you for posting this. I love Bill Charlap's playing. He really hears all the inner voices too.
"All the Things You Are"..."Sophistocated Lady"... LOVE to the max!
Thank you for sharing
Un très beau toucher , tout en nuances et extrême sensibilité.
one of the best out there!
All the things you are I dedicate to you
Just Masterful!
dear god what talent.
It's snowy in Saint Louis. The Bill Charlap Trio has turned into the Bill Charlap solo. After watching this, I know I will not be disappointed. :) :) :)
Sublime...
I like this as much as any of his records.
The second tune is “the duke” by Dave Brubeck, and then it transitions into Ellington’s “Sophisticated Lady”
No, it IS (partly) 'Sophisticate Lady.' It begins with 'The Duke' and then, at 4:14, it transitions to SL. Very fitting, no?
Es fabuloso, gran estilo
...La gran capacidad de apertura de la mano izquierda, le permite una armonización perfecta para acertar las décimas sin problema...
Second song is Brubeck's "The Duke" used as an intro for Strayhorn's "Sophisticated Lady"
Check out the way he plays 10ths in the left hand. His thumb is barely on the key. That's a cool trick!
Lol its how people with 9th span do it lol
Awesome? One of the very best 2:38 2:39 ❤ 3:22
That just about could have been Bill Evans...Lovely
👏👏
Damn.
BILL LEARNED FROM THE MASTERS WHO CAME BEFORE HIM.
All the things you are.
PURA CLASE.
Him, David Benoit, & Brian Cublertson are carrying on the piano jazz tradition set by greats like Bill Evans, Tommy Flanngan, Red Garland & Oscar Peterson
Nádhera.......
Toníku skvělé měj hezký den František
Doin it right...
Bill Charlap makes this 52' upright sound like a baby grand
Thats' why they call it an upright grand, -- the strings are just about as long as those in a small grand. I have one, due to space limitations in my home. This one sounds better than most baby grands I've heard.
What the hell did he do between 49 and 50 seconds???? it was like Neo from the Matrix... :-O
Not that it matters, but is he blind? What he is is marvelous. What a treat! Thanks KPLU!
+Barakx8 no
He plays the DUKE at 3:18

Then Sophisticated Lady after that.
To get a more subdued sound. Subtle textures and voicings. You get addicted if that is the sound you enjoy
How did they do the mic'ing so well on this upright Yamaha? Is it a true acoustic upright?
yup. Yamaha makes some great uprights.
Likely to be a Yamaha U3
I have the same model Yamaha- that's how they sound- likely mic'd with staggered stereo set up just off the soundboard ( the back)
OMG
Он сейчас в Питере! )
In case you've ever wanted to play piano- Here's how...
Absolutely brilliant playing......but I Wonder why he uses the soft pedal so much? it seems like he uses it for most of the performance?.......
и даже есть многочисленные видео его пребывания в Питере
4:14 6:11
Блестяще.Но те, кто показал пальцем вниз могут конечно лучше.Хотелось бы послушать..

1:38
Making Bill Charlap play on an upright piano is like handing a pair of construction boots to a tap dancer.
which style of jazz like this?
solo piano jazz, there is no name for it. He's definitely influenced by Bill Evans and I'm also hearing some Dick Hyman, too, but Charlap is his own stamp, for sure. There is only one pianist I can say who is not influenced by anyone, and that is Thelonious Monk :)
Patricio Da Silva Which pianists would you say are *not* their own stamp?
@@danielnatzke6733 me:)
the composer of sophisticated lady is duke ellington not dave brubeck
+Derick Diaz They was talking about the intro he made before Sophisticated Lady (by Duke Ellington), it was a tune called The Duke written by Dave Brubeck as a tribute to Mr. Ellington, he played all together...
Correct, I noted the same above. "The Duke" was employed as an intro to "Sophisticed Lady".
lol
I think what maybe lost on some people from how good Bill sounds, is how underwhelming this piano model is. It looks like a UX30A or similar. If you've ever played it, you'll know the action is meh, the sound is meh for its large size, and it's just okay overall. But Bill Charlap is such a pro's pro that you would never know it from the way he dominates and finesses the keyboard.
I totally disagree. I think the piano sounds fantastic.
Bill Evans, but minus the navel gazing. 8^).
Yeah, I'll surely catch hell for this comment.
1:30 the opposite of effortless, bet he wishes his hand was bigger.
