Great stuff! He just played BB Kings in NYC,there weren't all that many folks there but he put on a great show as usual. If there ever was an "artist deserving wider recognition:, it's AJ Croce!!!
A typically inspired performance by the marvelous AJ! What the video, inspired as it is, can only partially tell you, is what a sensitive, inquisitive, creative, loving and generous friend he is to one and all! Pure joy on & off stage! Rock on! Henry Gross
Haven't heard this for over 30 years. . . a band named "Eaglebone Whistle" which used to play at Grins, in College Station. . . what a rush of good and poignant memories! Thanks so much for uploading. A.J.Croce's musical talent eases, somewhat, the ache of missing his father's work.
great A.J; I would love to hear you live so much... I've had incredible difficulties buying (yes, I still buy cd's !!) "Cage of Muses" . Make your cd's reach Europe/France please!
No DVD. We may do one in the future, with a different show. Long story. Has to do with some technical sound problems for DVD quality. Good enough for TH-cam, though. This video of "Trouble In Mind" is from a 2010 show, the others were from 2009. We also have him covering Chuck Berry's "Promised Land" on our TH-cam site, but I'm afraid that's all for now.
AJ Have you thought to go to the PIANO MUSEUM, those very interesting oldie but goody pianos, and JUMPING FROM PIANO TO PIANO ON EACH "VERSE" or long phrase of THIS VERY UNIQUELY "Up" SONG? I SEE YOU JUMPING from piano to piano and having a whole jam session on THEM ? Well, my copy paste is working, and I'm a gonna use it AGAIN! HELLO, AJ! A great sound on this one too! Write Write Write-it's in your DNA, Sweety!, There are allot of singers whose NAME carries them---I try to stay away from those types! Anyone who wants to be a star, and just happens to have the name IS REALLY not the type of singer I like to work with; But IN YOUR CASE, the "sound" is coming NATURALLY through your DNA, sweetie----I want to hear MORE from you here ., (and there, ha ha).NORMALLY, I would advise a singer not TRY to be a copy of someone else's work! BUT YOU HAVE THE DNA, and the NAME., SO I CAN'T SAY THAT! I LOVE the fact that you're "using" that "unique acoustic sound" and "uniquely blended harmony with your back up guitarist too, as Jim did (on other songs).NICE! AJ! Can't hear your record label name on the interview, is it "STEVENS?"INGRID! All my friends make fun of me when I say "Sometime, Somewhere, Someone' is gonna look back on Jim's influence with SONGS written to Jim Croche's wonderfully new (in the 70's) chord charts, and is going to do what I did on "You Used to be my Lover"---This is not an advertisement for ME, this I MY MEMORAL TO Jim. of HIM---The chords were the same, exact chords as Jim so carefully played behind is melody of " I'll Have to say I Love You in a Song"> Allot of who were self-taught, would take his chords and HONESTLY APPLY OUR OWN LYRICS., sometimes just as an exercise! If you took my track and sang his song along with that same track (hard to do because I'm singing the lyrics and playing guitar simultaneously, on the same track ) You could hear Jim's lyrics coming through too! I've never stolen a song in my life---but this song IS Jim's backup, totally, try it sometime! I probably had my strings all tuned down a step, as I used slinky steel and still used to have trouble holdin' em down. Even Jim's backup harmony was uniquely executed and made other harmonies of his time, a bit bland to me!Someday I'd like to play that song for INGRID. I had all of the albums recorded by Jim and Ingrid-and lost them in move in simi valley; Didn't mind losing anything in that apt., except or Jim and Ingrid's albumS. I hope someday Ingrid can hear it and...likes it! She knows one cannot copyright CHORDS., but if one could, JIM'S CHORD PROGRESSIONS ( most of them) should have been copyrighted---But I think Jim would not like that-and would want to SHARE with everyone trying to play guitar-And, HE DID! Rest in Peace , Jim Croche!! Your son has your DNA-Let's all be on the lookout for him, too!! Would you consider singing (or that would now be, "re-singing") MY song titled "San Diego Keep my Spirit?" (You tube & SoundCloud)….I'd like to be on your LIST to which you refer, that you have with functions set-up by Steven's ?(?) (NOTICE ALL OF THE PIANOS my producer put into the video at You Tube-Favorites in the San Diego piano museums?) (By the way, does anyone know where John KNoodle from Detroit, is, these days ? He told me allot about managing Jim. Thanks folks-Please prove my friends opinion of MY HOPES AND DREAMS, null and void and totally wrong! coincidentally, I live in San Diego now---Only our business address as the Illinois Harmony Connection, is still Simi Valley. God how I'd love to speak with you sometime, someday, somewhere . (Gee, I feel a new song comin' on) This one would be about YOU, though.I'm at Soundclick with my duo partner who's in Chicago/Macomb, and this song is at SoundCloud under LyndaFayesMusic. Thanks for following in you Dad's footsteps AJ. sorry , I've misspelled Jim's name-allot of us have, we HEAR "CrocHe~" PUtting the HE into the word Croce!
Father and son, awesome talent. God bless Jim and AJ
I have no idea how many times I have watched this video.
AJ IS KILING IT!!!!
Oh God, I love Jim Croce, I wasn't born yet when his dad passed away but I have all Jim Croce's song... Now, AJ, I love to see him live...
Intensity is the word. Music is in his soul and he's got the rhythm like nobody's business.
I loved his dad's music , his son is awesome , pure stuff
Great stuff! He just played BB Kings in NYC,there weren't all that many folks there but he put on a great show as usual. If there ever was an "artist deserving wider recognition:, it's AJ Croce!!!
No doubt his father would be proud.
Blown away in 2020...that's some good, and unique, genes right there...whew!

Seen AJ at the Nothsea Jazz Festival in the Hague some years ago, absolutely great.. wonderful to hear this again

AJ are you coming east anytime soon? I live in Balti, MD...please come east.

Who say it is not in the genes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How old were you when you first started playing piano?
Probably very young. He's the son of a famous singer.
Oh...the genes
Seen this guy live yeaaaars ago......Around his 3rd album i think.....He's great, but i really like him better on an acoustic piano....
I'm sure if you aren't already, you'd also be a great studio piano player.
:D
