Me too!
@@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453 it's a pleasure to learn jazz from your videos. Keep it going 👍🏾👍🏾
your interpretation, caresses the soul, thank you very much for this moment, a big hug from Buenos Aires.
Thank you so much :)
Blown away by the history, analysis and everything. Instant sub.
Welcome aboard, Will! Good luck with your playing :)
Best piece in the real book imho
A beautiful piece of music!
Very nice. I’m not a musician, but still love to learn about these standards. I really enjoy the discussion about the composers, their history and how the song was important. Love this song, especially the version Ella and Duke did in his songbook, as well as many others. Thank you so much for your lessons, they are great.
Thanks! These are such great songs, and are part of our cultural heritage.
Wow, man you made me cry... and i,m not the kind of person who cry easily. ... thank you.
Thank you, Laurent - music can go deep.
@@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453 im a guitar player learning to play piano, its a long way.
@@BobMinsky Piano and guitar is a good combination because the notes are laid out so differently. We learn to understand the relations between the notes from several angles, literally!
As a guitarist I learned so much and still learn so much from your content dude
Thanks, Shaun, that's what I'm aiming for. I learned from a lot of wonderful musicians and try to pass it along. Good luck with your music!
I'm not even a piano player, but I really enjoy your channel. Such a great approach to learning standards. Learning the history of jazz and exploring the stylistic possibilities like you do makes such a difference when learning tunes.
Hi Felipe. Yes, this approach can help us when playing any instrument. It's how all the past jazz greats learned these tunes. In fact, they couldn't avoid it because it was in the culture at the time.
I love and reference this video all the time, I’m so happy I was able to find it again! Looking forward to enjoying more of your stuff!
Enjoy!
You are incredibly gifted.
Thank you so much!!!
I’ve learned so much with this video and I don’t even play the piano, so many cool references! Also great performance x
Thanks Anna!
Lovely. I can visualize a trio playing behind you here---with the drummer and bassist listening carefully and sensitively picking up on what you are doing
beautiful rendition!
One of my favourite tunes to play. You have given some creative and fresh ideas to add. Thanks, and happy holidays.
Thanx, Ron. Enjoying the Journey. Thank you for your background commentary and wonderful playing. Happy Holidays. 🌲🌹🎁
Thanks Brenda, and Happy Holidays to you too!

WOW Good stuff Indeed!!! Just discovered your channel , wonderful
Thanks Roberto, and welcome!
Wow - I'm on my way to piano to learn this song. Thanks for sharing it!
Enjoy playing it, John - it's one of the best ever!
Wow! The timestamps help so much!! It's like you're able to narrate everything as you do it! :D
I'm glad you're finding the timestamps helpful, Jay! I started putting them in earlier this year, and am gradually going back and creating them for the whole series.
You played really well. It is such an interisting sphere and space compared to classical music especially when you play that fat chords ( Im not sure how they are called). It is such dreamy and close to the heart. Thank you.
Thank you! Yes, similar to classical music in some ways.
