    the difference between good and great piano arrangement is huge, you make those old tunes truly an art, so full of colors, I aprreciate it each and every time

    I wish there were more lessons like this on this platform- concise, dense, and skillful.
    A stellar arrangement and that solo at the end was cooking

    I find myself going back to this video. I absolutely love the progression in this one, though I admit I know very little about the piano. I aspire to learn the piano someday to be able to play too. Thanks for the video!

      Wow...that's one of my 1st videos. I'm glad someone is still watching it. I'm thinking about...what if I put a new name on some of my older videos and re-posted. Because not many new people watch the older videos, and this one was a live lesson. Thanks for watching!

      +geojazz46 +geojazz46 Hey George!! , Funny we should connect right now. How are you doing?? I had great times playing with you. I was just writing to someone who commented on a video I did on Bill Evan's version of My Foolish Heart. I mentioned to them that we had opened for the Bill Evans Trio in '79 in Hartford, Bushnell park. Do you remember that? Correct me if I have the date wrong. Anyway... great to hear from you, I'm glad to re-connect. Thanks for the comment; I'm having fun doing these videos. th-cam.com/video/BgItQOto_5g/w-d-xo.html

    I love the idea of rhythm first, harmonies are so beautifly placed. Best piano performance and lesson on TH-cam. What a shame there isn't transcription of this masterpiece. Anyway I will try to learn right away.

  • @vox4pax
    @vox4pax 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’m curious to know why this piece is played as an up tempo? The lyrics are so melancholy, it really suggests a slow tempo. The changes presented by Kent are fabulous, and I apply them throughout the piece.

    • @KentHewittpiano88

      Good question...not sure why. Ella Fitzgerald did a slow version: th-cam.com/video/FnfUN6bBAg4/w-d-xo.html
