"All The Things You Are" - Sullivan Fortner - 2015 American Pianists Awards 

He's pretty young too and was def under 33 in this clip

He's a pretty down to earth guy I met him once

Just copying shit is all he's doing. Nothing to see here. Seriously. Get over it.

@@J3unG dude shut the fuck up. What are you achieving in your comments on Sullivan across multiple videos of him?

@@J3unG LOL what a bs comment. he's too gud. get over it.

Sounds like half time in a section? Pretty slick.

The Great American Songbook is what is fucking wrong with jazz. You are being stuck to these old motherfucking tunes and not creating anything substantially different to what are essentially pop tunes from a bygone era. It's annoying.

@@J3unG Only someone who didn't understand jazz would write that. The traditional songbook provides jazz musicians with a common anthology of chord patterns, over which each musician improvises something different. Not only are individual players unique, but different generations and styles each leave their characteristic marks by introducing or making popular new scales, modes, voicings, melodic and rhythmic ideas into jazz. The early bop musicians don't sound like the improvisors of the 30s, the great musicians who followed them don't sound like early bop, and so on. It is one of the great pleasures of jazz, and highly instructive of the development, to be able to listen to Coleman Hawkins, Bird and Diz, McCoy Tyner, Bill Evans, and Brad Mehldau, each play All the Things You Are or Rhythm changes, each in their own style. And what are you going to say about blues? That no one should play it because it's "old"? Meanwhile, new compositions are being written all the time, but unlike classical music and other genres with set pieces, jazz is improvisational, so we hear something novel and unique EVERY time a good musician plays a standard or a blues.

It's a yamaha

Christopher Pitts, it showed a Steinway logo at some point in the video.

@@JeremyRaden weird I've played it before maybe they used to have a steinway

@@JeremyRaden yeh but not as insane as Sullivan wow. Maybe one day. Happy new years
