this is so true lol. i play guitar, and for the most part i know what a guitar will be like if i see one in a room. but pianos vary so wildly (for better or worse) that if there is an acoustic piano I absolutely have to see what it sounds and feels like.
From beautiful classical piano to the most amazing jazz-rock fusion with Liquid Tension Experiment. Mr Rudess is indeed a musical talent par excellence.
My father who was an old school Jazz pianist in NYC brought this one step further…we were in a hotel in Rome Italy and my dad got up from his chair and started to chat with the piano player working that night…. …and the guy asked my dad to play…well my father played his own arrangement of the jazz Classic Laura and I’ll never forget the look of this guys face when my dad was playing…he probably thought my dad was some New York big mouth ..my father was a very humble guy….another time I remember a guy came up to my dad at a Sam Ash music store and said …man who have you played with, and my dad said ….Everybody !
I don't know if I would call it unfair. After having spent an insane amount of hours practicing the keyboard and the piano as well as having studied at Juilliard, I think Jordan very well deserve to be this good. It's not unfair in any way. Nothing comes for free. You can't expect to be really good at playing the piano without spending a lot of time practicing the art.
You're lucky, whenever I come across a piano in public it's always, "DON'T PLAY, DON'T LOOK, DON'T TOUCH, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT PIANOS REEEEEEEEEEEE" and I'm like, I just want to play for a little bit
Umm, sir? Did you ask to use the piano? It's always someone who in no way represents the owners (the ones who keep a piano in a public space) and apparently doesn't understand the difference between some child/hooligan slamming indiscriminately on the keys vs. someone who obviously knows what they're doing 🙄.
I just told my granddaughter that you can be rich and famous, charge hundreds of dollars to come to see you and play, then do it in a hotel and people just walk by.
I wish I could convince Jordan to record for and old school Player-Piano. Even better if it could be encoded for Duo-Art, Ampico or Welte Mignon. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Google is your friend.
Could you believe your ears if a guy like Jordan just walked and sat for a minute to play the most beautiful thing you'd hear that day and he just walked off as if nothing happened?
This piano has increased in value and prestige
The piano did not see that coming, it's probably still there, waiting for him to come back.
Ebbe tide....
One of my favourites jazz ballads...
Love You Mr Rudess, God bless You.. ❤
Do people actually understand whats like to see a pIano you've never seen/heard before when you are a pianist? Its almost impossible not to play it...
this is so true lol. i play guitar, and for the most part i know what a guitar will be like if i see one in a room. but pianos vary so wildly (for better or worse) that if there is an acoustic piano I absolutely have to see what it sounds and feels like.
No, they don't understand...
From 0:30-0:36 seconds, does anyone know what that kind of arpeggiation/run is called, as in the interval?

Walks in, makes some magic, walks out. Like a Boss J 🔥🔥
Jordan, your talent is simply breathtaking. I can't wait for you and Dream Theater to come to Australia.

Who is your dad?
@@csantana1971 a real somebody
Walks in, plays something so good, casually walks out. Unfair how good he is. Leaves me in awe everytime.
Totally!!

The piano hero
Hardly unfair when you consider the amount of hours of practice he would have put in to get to this level.
I could sit and listen to Jordan play piano all day
I would love to hear more of this style piano worked into dream theater
"Notes on a Dream" is an album of Jordan doing classical piano only arrangements of Dream Theater songs and it's FANTASTIC
the flurry of notes ............. so signature mr Jordan
Almost made cry this was Beautiful
Unbelievably beautiful wasnt it
I'm surprised it was in tune. Sounds pretty good!
That felt right. I get that feeling too when I see an abandoned piano....and of course no one to hear that's out of range.
The best version of Ebb tide I've ever heard ❤️❤️👏👏👏👍👍
always magical hands. awesome playing.
That was hilarious!!!!!! Lol
The way you got up and walked off like a thief in the night hahaha
My first name is Jordan also. 😊
Beautiful playing.
I'd love to hear Jordan's interpretation of Strange Meadowlark.
someone should hire this guy
This is just awesome Jordan sir…
You are the master👏🏻
Mr cool guy... love it!
Pianos Always attract you just to have you bless them.
The vibrations he put in the air, just wow.
People just strolling by like “ehh wizards play piano like that all the time at this place”
Breathtaking
Me: Hey Jordan, you wanna go get something to bite?
Jordan: Not before I write my sonata for the day
I'd be even more impressed if we had footage of Jordan dancing in the lobby like Christopher Walken in "Weapon of Choice."
Jordan you are the GOAT !!
People around don't know how fortunate they were.
A Living Genius! x
watching you come out of the elevator and walk to that gorgeous piano reminded me of something... there are actual moments where you aren't playing!

@@steamer2k319 Why would I ask to play it if there's a sign already saying not to touch it? 😂
@@sangheili333
Well, yeah, if the owner left a note there's not much for it. Maybe too much actual misuse in those cases 😒.
Bravo! Passer bys! Tough crowd
Seriously better than everyone else!
They should have comp'd him the best room in the hotel after that performance.
Wow that brought tears to my eyes. Such beautiful playing.
Amazing Jordan!
Imagine if it wasn't tuned because it's just a display piece.
It's a challenge. But often I'm done fast playing. If the piano "does not talk back" it's over... Mine talks back. It's a Feurich.
Me walking past:
"Now do Goldfinger!"
Jordan plays as if he had four hands going all at once.
Who is this guy?
THAT IS SICK!!!
Hotel manager comes and swats him with newspaper... "That piano is for display only!!!"
What piece did he play?
I just told my granddaughter that you can be rich and famous, charge hundreds of dollars to come to see you and play, then do it in a hotel and people just walk by.
What did he play? Any music piece?
This is so good 😢
He plays „Ebb Tide „ with a lot of Waves!👍👍
Jordan was the reason i got back into playing keys
Excellente!!
People just walking by, not knowing what they are missing :(
I see stupid people.
Didn't they offer you a job as lounge pianist at the bar? 😂😂
that piano was grand before. Now Its Grand
👍👏👏👏👏 love it
Your wonderful playing deserved a little more space in the back ;-)
All I can hear in my head is Dana Carvey's Church Lady character saying "Well, isn't that special?!"
Or the "Don't make me sing" sketch.
I wish I could convince Jordan to record for and old school Player-Piano. Even better if it could be encoded for Duo-Art, Ampico or Welte Mignon. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Google is your friend.
ah this is love
WOWWW
Me walking into that hotel "It looks just like...! Nah, can't be.."
Like A King ! 👑
I wish I'd find a drumset at a hotel...
That piano was broken before he played it
Jordan being Jordan: before breakfast he warms up his hands plyaing piano so his food is at the same temperature of his hands…
And exits like a boss.
that hotel must be blessed
Beautiful
Legend !
Genius..
And people just walked on by. I"d stop and enjoy!
1:05 that chord
A nice Bb dominant 7 9 of some kind...something with Bb, D, F, G#, and C I believe. D half diminished over Bb perhaps.
I think its probably a forth minor with the major seven
I can sit down at a piano like Jordan with much grace but it stops there..!
Now there's an idea for rest days when on tour. ;)
Amazing!!!!
grande jordaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnn number one!!!
Could you believe your ears if a guy like Jordan just walked and sat for a minute to play the most beautiful thing you'd hear that day and he just walked off as if nothing happened?
Happy birthday Jordan
Well, it ain't Motel 6!
I love this!
The Wizard can't resist.
Отменный тапёр, я как будто перенёсся на 100 лет назад👍
... And it was roughly in tune
I'll grab a seat near the piano and pouring my juice in wine glass and close my eyes. 😍
Ebb Tide...❤
Do more videos like this please!
Play Stockhausen
Please
Should’ve popped that top, let that resonance ring out!!
Cool thanks Jordan rudess
Bummer...no pitch-bend-wheel.
The piano had a cigarette after
Sir I begg you, please play on Indian harmonium please... ❤❤❤❤
Excuse me... Where's the ice machine?😜

🤘😎🤘🇬🇧
The piano found you
