Man, when you finally did the swing left hand it was like the world was gone and there was nothing left but just that swing piano ringing in my ears, Chris, you're the best, I hope you'll get some more videos out soon!
Wow this is really amazing I love how you jump around so much it gives off good and the short bursts of lots of short notes played together really tops it off
He's a national /global treasure His touch is so elegant, precise and Graceful that his tone becomes liquid gold. I love hundreds of brilliant pianists but I've never heard anyone make the piano sing like Chris Dawson. I could listen to him play scales for hours
I loved it Chris. You are really good at this. I'm crazy about this song. I'm trying to make the move from classical to jazz and it has it's challenges. You have to almost relearn the piano as the styles are night and day. Thanks.
Chris Dawson is an Amazing Pianist. I'm his cousin Maryann and I'm so very Proud of him. He's a Wonderful person and is one the Best Jazz Pianist I have the Pleasure to know. 🤩
Ive never been more jealous of bigger hands than at this current moment. THE CONSTANT 10THS ON THE LEFT HAND DRIVES ME INSANE WITH HOW EASY YOU MAKE IT SOUND 😭
I remember liking this piece 10 years ago. And after years of not listening it, I rediscover it and I'm even more impressed by the large Jazz piano spectrum covered in 5 minutes. Congratulations.
I play simple pop and ballad music , lately interested and learning jazz, I wish you were my teacher, Your version is so very beautiful, blessed to hear it
I am a beginner pianist. You always play bass note and 4 note chords át C, E7 and A7, but you never continue at Dm. Why? I haven't found a well sounding version at that regiszter of the piano. What notes inversion would you recomend around middle C?
Pianist Frank E. Banta and drummer Howard Kopp recorded Calico Rag for Columbia in 1917. I have a pristine copy of that record and others have posted it on RU-vid. It was performed at a fast tempo. Frank E. Banta, who was prolific in his own right, was the son of the pianist Frank P. Banta, a pioneer recording artist and early adopter and proponent of ragtime. Howard Kopp was a prominent ragtime era percussionist. I would presume that Banta and Kopp they knew what they were doing tempo-wise when the recorded the piece in 1917. Here is a link to the recording: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tAByXWmshgQ.html
I love that you played along with the original recording, that's really cool! Nice playing as always, I really envy your hand span, those tenths look like so much fun!
Love Tristano! Glad to have found this. I just posted the video from Yanow's jazz jam here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dnOkzG_sYts.html
Well now I know what the song on one Ampico roll scan I have is hahaha, it's a medley roll and it's a midi so I wouldn't know the names of the other songs
