  • Playing piano part with the new Roland RD-700NX - The bass and drums were arranged before hand, very nice jazz piece, got some great (but not friendly) chords. First time playing the song all the way through, using the app 'iReal b' on my phone to reference the chords incase I got lost... brilliant app! Only £5, thousands of jazz pieces available in every key and more.
    Enjoy :-)
    PS : I plan to make a follow up video to the RD700-NX showing the pros and cons for potential buyers etc...

    I've played for as long as I can remember really, currently 19 years old. Heard one note samba for the first time (much faster than this) at a jazz club, and I came and did this video the next day - Great piece! Watching this video now I'm not very happy with my playing at all! Now that I'm much more accustom to jazz playing it's annoying to think how much better I could do now!

      Well then, James, in that case, stop being annoyed and record One Note Samba again! The piece is worth it. And YOU, my dear man, are very worth it. What a great talent you are! I love this treatment, you played it really well, especially for having only heard the song for the first time the night before! Are you serious? You're terrific. I'm going to be using this as an accompaniment Saturday for a party I'm giving and I'll be singing to it, in the manner taught me by the great Everett Devan, the great jazz keyboard and Hammond B organist of Kansas City Jazz fame who tried his best to teach me and whom I was honored to know.

    Just Wow, this is sooo good! And when you suddenly started to solo over the chords - so delicious! Honorary mention to the descending, ornamented line after the descant episode (2:28 onwards), followed by a short "rumba" piano style section (a little taste of it already sooner)! Way to go!

    This is just a little samba
    Built upon a single note
    Other notes are sure to follow
    But the root is still that note
    Now this new one is the consequence of the one we've just been through
    As i'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you
    There's so many people who can talk and talk and talk
    And just say nothing or nearly nothing
    I have used up all the scale I know and at the end I've come
    To nothing or nearly nothing
    So i come back to my first note as i must come back to you
    I will pour into that one note all the love i feel for you
    Any one who wants the whole show do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ci-do
    He will find himself with no show better play the note you know
    He will find himself with no show better play the note you know
    This is just a little samba
    Built upon a single note

      Okay James you perfectionist lol! So record another updated version. I’m going to sing one note samba at church this Sunday and you sir are accompanying me. My point is that meditation enables us to hear the gaps between the notes; and that’s where the music lives- in songs and in our lives.

    Am I hearing this correctly? You are playing this piece in the video one key lower playing the "one note" as G but the note I hear is F. In other words, what I hear doesn't match with the notes you are playing. (I even matched the iReal b chords to your video and the "one note" is an F) Is your keyboard tuned differently? Thanks. BTW, I love your playing of this Bossa Nova piece. Excellent!
