God, that phrase after the turnaround at 1:38 melts my ear drums like butter
I love how Laszlo says that Luca's musical teacher didn't oppose his self-taught direction; however, my piano teacher and mom did. They always wanted me to learn how to read the notes; however, I was playing by ear at age 4 with both hands. Today, I'm back into playing without the aid of reading notes, Luca is an inspiration.
I had this happen to me...I have a SERIOUS passion for piano and it's really something that reflects on where we are in our consciousness as a species (continuing trying to force something because you think it's the "RIGHT" or "BEST" way to do things...
This is why having gifted musical teachers creates a canon of great musicians...they have a talent themselves at helping elevate rather than block or obstruct the flow of energy that is most organic, pure and bright (not to be mistaken with 'brite' (like a piano can be lol)).
Great job man! You're amazing!
Lppppp
@@richardbaran409 very true
Just imagine how good this kid will be after he's had his heart broken a few times.
You're so right! Please listen to: th-cam.com/video/OZeeyALOrtk/w-d-xo.html
Nah, that's chick music.
Hahaha brilliant
jesus haha thats harsh but true
I think it only takes once, kinda like a near-death experience.
One of the best performances of blues I have heard in a long time! What an amazing artist Luca is! I wish him a speedy way up to stardom!
Phenomenal .. Absolutely Tops..!!
Composition, play, style, pizzaz, showmanship, maturity beyond his years..
Wonderful.. keep going..!
Hands down the best blues pianist on utube. Incredible
Yes, I agree! But he is advancing as he matures, please listen to and see this: th-cam.com/video/Esn8pESKwSE/w-d-xo.html
+Laszlo Szechenyi i just ckd out that vid you posted. You tell me how he will ever get much better than that! Lucas is a natural. Its a gift. Doesnt get much better imo. Thanx for sharing that vid
I'm so gratified to hear from someone who really appreciates Luca's immense talent and virtuosity. I've been supporting and sponsoring him ever since he was a kid and never cease to be amazed. Here is one of his latest performances in my old home country, Hungary last week: th-cam.com/video/iIZgjhg_Dds/w-d-xo.html
+Laszlo Szechenyi yep. Very nice. Im not a huge boogie fan. However i most certainly respect and admire his talent. I also follow hugo silver. A young frenchman who plays more pop music than blues. Hes young and talented and is getting better and better. Also for the heck of it...seeing as you support talent, you might look intopiano around the world. Hes not the best pianist however i think you might enjoy what hes doing
Oodles of talent in one so young!!
He is very good
Sanjay De Bakshi oodles. that hilarious
AS SIMPLE AS AN INCREDIBLE TALENT AT EVERY KIND OF PIANO KEYBOARD!!!
First watched this video about 5 years ago. Every time I see it on my recommenced watch list I listen to it again. I think this is one of his best performances, at least for his slow blues live performances.
WOW, this young man is absolutely outstanding!!! The blues live in his soul. This is clearly what he was meant to do :-) BRAVO!
Yes, he started at age 9 and is still growing, musically that is! Please listen to this more recent number by Luca: th-cam.com/video/Esn8pESKwSE/w-d-xo.html
Laszlo Szechenyi My pleasure to listen to your suggestion. I am just today nursing a nasty cold, so really enjoying a little downtime listening to music. I may even play my own piano at some point today, something lacking lately with a crazy workload and pleasures of summer between. Thanks for posting this great music :-) ~Jackie
I'm so glad that you enjoy my vey close friend's, Luca's music! So do about 12 million people who have all viewed his many numbers on TH-cam! Those numbers attest to his stature as one of the very top figures in his field of music today. If you have some time - and please take good care of your cold - watch his entire concert at Siam Parc, Switzerland. It comes in three Videos beginning with th-cam.com/video/QxBkzhA9pUY/w-d-xo.html . I'll post the other two links below. The second number at this event is called "Laci's Boogie" and he has composed it for me... Laci is my nickname in Hungarian ! Ha...ha...

That is not playing.........that is expression of the soul through the keys on a piano.
Bravo!!
Steve
+Steve Edwards Yes, indeed, he plays with a lot feeling, Please listen to this one: th-cam.com/video/xtYwhPrgTMA/w-d-xo.html
i love blues so much!!! it makes me get goosebumps and sometimes i have tears in my eyes because it is so beautiful *_* blues is the soundtrack to my life,like a black comedy :D
THIS KIND OF SLOW BLUES IS MY CUP OF TEA VERY MUCH SO. I WISH I COULD PLAY BLUES LIKE HIM.
I really enjoyed this video. As a Black man who loves blues, and understands that it's Black music, I love to see Luca put his own twist to it. It seems as if he's playing in C. I play piano, and in my opinion, Jazz, Classical, and blues are the hardest forms of piano to play, because you have build up your forearm muscles and finger strength to play fast piano and learn to play fast licks.This takes years to master. Keep up the good work Luca, and thanks for inspiring me to play the piano again
Hope you stayed inspired and are now killing it brother
I can only imagine what Mozart would have produced if he had a chance to hear Jazz, Blues, Honkytonk or Boogie-woogie.
You are amazing! I'm a singer who only wishes to work with someone as passionate about music as you. I can hear your soul all over this. You better play man!
The amount of soul seeping through his fingers is quite impressive, this dude has skill!
The music says more than I can with words. Beautiful, just beautiful. Loved the nods to Gershwin and Foster.
Great music! It's great to see people from all over the world enjoying and even making their own styles of blues music. From California, lots of respect to you. Memphis Slim would be proud :D
Outstanding. Love his harmonies. Very cool!
Laszlo - big thank you. I was stunned. It's not the obvious skills that Luca demonstrates it's the feeeeeel that he blends into the piece. This level of feeling is normally only delivered by a voice with soul or the very BEST blues guitars - and he's only 17!
Thank you David ! I'm always gratified if someone listens and understands... not everyone can do that! Yes, Luca's talent goes very deep. This composition turned out to be one of his most successful, as evidenced by the number of hits ! Now at 21, he continues to develop his expertise and he is branching out in various directions supported by his studies at the Popakademie in Mannheim, Germany. Complying with world-wide demand he just published a very successful book of sheet music with his own compositions and his two CD's are also selling extremely well.

Köszönöm, igen a zene embereket összeköt, eltekintve a kortól, nemzetiségtől, nyelvtől, és neveléstől. Luca 14 volt, én 77 amikor megismerkedtünk! A Boogie Woogie és a Blues egy nagyon értékes és tartós kapcsolatot hozott létre közöttünk. Kérem nézzék meg a múltját és jelenét a fent megadott címen. Ő egy kivételes zenei zseni de ugyanakkor egy nagyon kedves fiatal ember is!
Incredible, such soul, amazing talent.
Thank you very much for wonderful share and for the updates and more music!
Truly an amazing talent.Thank you for sharing. I love this type of music and he plays it so effortlessly and has such fun. It is a joy to listen to.
What a great feel and balance you have. Enjoyed your playing very much. Thank you.
One of the best Luca!😍
THIS IS MY SORT OF BLUES. HE IS FANTASTIC. I WISH I COULD PLAY AS GOOD AS HIM.
Yoy go Luca, you just keep getting better and we all love it.
WOW.......don't know what more to say, it's all been said.....what a talent this young guy is..... will keep following him on TH-cam !
This is awesome
Good ain't he 😀
Aaron S Yepp
Extremely average
this guy knows his instrument.
piano is one of my favorite instrument.
i wish i had the opportunity to learn how to play it.it is not too late but with all those bills that i have to pay to survive,i cannot do it now.maybe somedays.
same here.. i wish i took piano lessons when i was younger... the piano is the most outwordly instrument, it's like a magic thing.. i mean, it's sound is way beyond this world.. it's like another way of talkin...
That's some of the most beautiful piano i've ever heard. Wow! Thanks!
Thank's very much Laszlo for the tip. I loved is new compositions. When so many artists improvise the boogie it still sounds very familiar, but not with Luca. His shuffle in D is so original and brilliant. He is developing and improving all the time.
Thanks again, Greg
Immer wieder ein Genuss Luka zu hören. - Ein großes Talent.
Wow.. What a way to keep Blues fresh. Bravo!
This is fantastic. The blues is my favorite style but it has to be done Really well to not sound tired. This was really appreciated. Looking for more Luca Sestak. And thanks for the upload.
Tanks 4 this song, incredible blues improvisation! BRAVO.
Kevin, I agree. We all live our own soul. But to be able to express and share it with others is a talent that is an incredible gift of God or fate. It may differ from someone else's inner feelings but it is an unforgettable reflection of the innermost landscape of the person who is projecting it. To be able to listen and to accept is also a gift.
What you call a "gift", others call "thousands of hours of hard work."
To dismiss all this hard work by calling it a "gift" is insulting to anyone that ever spent a minute running scales up and down a piano.
Don't misunderstand. What I would call "gift" is not the way he plays today, but the TALENT to be able to play like that. Very few have it. To be able to "live" music in any form is, I think, indeed a gift. But I'm fully aware of the endless hours of practice, willpower, stamina and hard work mandatory to use one's talent and to reach this level of excellence.
1UTUBEUSERNAME you should listen to his video: Fast Boogie live......then you would agree he does have a gift.....
atta1798 Yes and many more such as "Laci's Boogie", "Boogie Woogie Runner" and "Swanee River Boogie" at age 14, with 1,982,861 views! There are some 40 videos of Luca on his website listed above. Enjoy them all !!
14 years old only.....that is definitely impressive!!!
Closing time, smokey barroom blues. Man, that stirs my soul... The images it conjures up in my head. So sweet.
Awesome stuff!
such great feeling for the music. really like your style!!!
This really speak to me. Thank you for sharing.
My favorite piano piece on TH-cam.
Luca you have created a new level of music....!!
miss listening to blues man, u just gave it to my SOUL :) nice sound bruh
That's great, I look forward to seeing that soon.
I felt it, Luca. Fantastic.
I'm sitting in a chair with a glass of bourbon on the rocks, and this is a perfect compliment to my drink.. amazing!
+3cyl4whldr Yes, it's intoxicating isn't it?
Music is always best without liquor though.
I love your improvisation !
Lucas Sestak is incredible...amazing.
Wow, that was epic!
Really good improvisaton with fantastic sound..bravissimo!!!
Excellent blues que j'aime écouter et ré-écouter... Bravo encore et encore, merci !
This is stunningly great! After playing like that I would probably have to turn the piano upside down! and shout, yeah! Yeah, damit Yeah!"
Vocals would of course round this masterpiece out nicely. Bravo Luca!
Absolutely incredible talent and skill. and to all these "Ney Sayers", record and post your own video of your talent. Nothing but enjoyment from listening to Luca play.
Thank you Marathonracer, I agree... Luca taught himself to play Boogie and Blues because he LIKED that music while taking classsical piano lessons! There is no question about the feelings he puts into everything he plays. I should know... I observed him completely immersed in his music and in his piano when he turned 17 here at our house in Florida! He told me : "Das Klavier bin ich"... the piano is me... it's part of him. An admirable talent.
It's so beautiful, thank you much Luca, and you have not changed; and also, think to give us sometimes your smile because smile is a thousand times more to offer your music ... true.
Love this, definitely given me some ideas.
Amazing and oustanding!!!
First time hearing him , he is amazing!!! Its addictive its so good!!!!
this is as good as it gets. i thought i was the youngest that loves the blues . rock on man !
Fabulous! Love it!!!
Wie nett, danke! Ich entdeckte Luca früh 2009 und lernte ihn danach in Münster bei seinem Konzert mit Daniel Paterok kennen. Seitdem ist er tatsächlich wie unser "Enkelsohn" geworden, wir feierten seinen 17-ten Geburtstag hier bei uns in Florida. Seine Boogies und Blues werfen mich einfach um! Habe schon Auftritte mit ihm in Italien, Österreich, Deutschland und USA organisiert. Möchte auch noch mehrere veranstalten und nimm jede Unterstützung dazu gerne an! LG Laszlo
Received my two CDs a few days ago and play them in my car. Your music makes the drive thru my town seem like a book turned into reality. I look forward to the day when you make DVDs that can be played in the USA.
+Gilbert Estrada Hi Gilbert. Since you are a true fan of Luca's, I want to let you know that I have many DVD's of his outstanding performances that can be played here in the US. (Many self-made ones too that I recorded during my concerts with him.) Let me know if you're interested. Copies can, of course be made. Send me your email or Facebook address. Greetings, Laszlo
Luca , You really belong among the worlds best bluespianoplayers, this is absolutely fantastic, it has the Dave Grusin kind of excellent quality written all over it! You are absolutely amazing Luca! I just LOVE it! 10/10
Your friend Magnus in Sweden :-)
very elegant blues! strong talent in this young guy!
I love it.. so much feeling
this brings full on tears to my eyes
I love this I am starting to learn blues!
Absolutely wonderful...! A great future ahead ! One hundred stars for Luca.
Yes, and he will be carrying his star spangled banner the next time at the South Gate Center in Sarasota, Florida on September 7, 2014.
5:18. That's called showmanship, boys and girls.
I saw the piano smoking right before
Woooo play it boy!! Wat u know bout them blues!!?? Great...just great.....he saying alot to you.
I listen to lots of piano, and a lot of it is quite good. But, a far as I am concerned, Luca is unique. He is so sensitive. He is captivating. I love his interpretations and improvisations. I pray that he never looses his love of music.
I have been admiring Luca for several years. He has always been my favorite since I first heard him. I do have a request Luca, and that is that you play 2 songs and put on youtube. Always On My Mind and Georgia on My Mind. I think you would be outstanding playing them. You are the best.
Hello from switzerland,
wow, wonderful music, I wish Luca all the best, Blues is the best way of Life.
Sincerely
Peter Tschirky
you are like "Legend 1900". You are best!!! Amazing!!! Thank for bauty music of the soul!
GODDAMMIT! I work and work and I work for the past 14 years and then this guy comes along.
Wow! Beautiful!
Fantastic!!!! Thank you
I kind of agree with you Chris Horton! it does lack that warmth of spontaneity or something akin to that? I still enjoyed it!
ridiculous, just so raw....love it
HAD TO COME BACK.....LOVE THIS.....

Ja die Blues Musik ist fabelhaft, auf sie ist auch der Boogie Woogie aufgebaut, und Luca ist ein Weltmeister in Beiden! Bitte hier und auf seinem Blatt Weitere an zu sehen. Sie sind Alle bemerkenswert! th-cam.com/video/Esn8pESKwSE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/xtYwhPrgTMA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/QxBkzhA9pUY/w-d-xo.html
