Wonderful pianist indeed. I was blessed to have visited Dr. Taylor's home where we had an in-depth conversation about what we both love 'Jazz'. It was a blessing to have had him on my show. He composed an original song on his concert grand for my guest. I'm deeply grateful. Thank you Mr. Taylor.
How wonderful of you to feature Billy Taylor, composer of "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free". Today, July 24th 2016 is the 95th anniversary of his birth. Please check out my youtube channel "Remember our Music" an historical site which daily honors a great African-American musician like Billy Taylor, Bill Lee, John Wesley Work, Josephine Premice and Noble Sissle, all born in the month of July!
Critic and Lyricist Leonard Feather once said, "It is almost indisputable that Dr. Billy Taylor is the world's foremost spokesman for jazz." Thanks for this I'm baCK into the piano jazz scene for good
It is "In a Sentimental Mood" by Duke Ellington. Yes, there is a lovely violin version of this song in the album "Duke Ellington's Violin Session", who plays fiddle is Stephane Grapelli.

great!
Now I'm "In a Sentimental Mood" !
Duke would be righteously proud that his song is being played well.
And Billy knew and played with nearly everybody - Duke, Bird, Miles, you name it!
I'd like to get a transcript of this play. Really.
😎 👏
Damn
2:43 those octaves though....
You got some big ears, my friend.
@@JazzVideoGuy I was already entranced, but just...wow....
That guy went to Haiti and played with our greatest...
@TehNoobTrumpet thx, but i did not see your link :/
Does this version of Transcription Music exist? If there is one, I would like to buy it.
I have a midi file, uploaded it on my channel :)

Grady Tate drums when I saw him, as well a trumpet , I don't recall who

гений
Bret: What is the source and date of this video? Great stuff, as always!
Ken: Billy did a show for the Bravo cable network in the 80s with pianists as guests. You may notice Blossom Dearie in the background.
When he is quickly moving up the piano, what type of scale is he following?
absolutely disgusting i wondered the same thing
What is the piece ?
In a Sentimental Mood
Drop the Mic 🎤📻🎹
Ha!
@TehNoobTrumpet may i know which song is this called? there's a violin version?
It is "In a Sentimental Mood" by Duke Ellington. Yes, there is a lovely violin version of this song in the album "Duke Ellington's Violin Session", who plays fiddle is Stephane Grapelli.
There is another version of me 😀
My parents would say double the trouble 😐
Maybe you're another version of him
Maybe
what are you doing..its over
That was pretty good, to be fair.
