Incredible Blues Pianist Luca Sestak's Slow Blues Improvisation. 

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

You're so right! Please listen to: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OZeeyALOrtk.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.

+Steve Edwards Yes, indeed, he plays with a lot feeling, Please listen to this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xtYwhPrgTMA.html

Yes, I agree! But he is advancing as he matures, please listen to and see this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Esn8pESKwSE.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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iIZgjhg_Dds.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

Yes, he started at age 9 and is still growing, musically that is! Please listen to this more recent number by Luca:  ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Esn8pESKwSE.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 RU-vid! 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 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QxBkzhA9pUY.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...

Sanjay De Bakshi oodles. that hilarious

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.

+3cyl4whldr Yes, it's intoxicating isn't it?

Music is always best without liquor though.

THIS KIND OF SLOW BLUES IS MY CUP OF TEA VERY MUCH SO. I WISH I COULD PLAY BLUES LIKE HIM.

Great comment, THANK YOU ! People tend to forget that this is an IMPROVISATION, not a cover of any blues song, just an outpouring of a 17 year old master musician's inner feelings. Besides being a virtuoso on the piano who plays his own interpretations of boogie, blues, jazz, funk and even classical influences, Luca is also a composer, and a vocalist who has published two CD's and a book of sheet music of his own numbers. If you haven't done so yet, please visit his home page at www.piano99.com and his RU-vid site at ru-vid.com where you will see and hear an overwhelming treasure trove of world-class music. I also recommend his concert at Siam Parc in Switzerland ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QxBkzhA9pUY.html ENJOY!

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!!!

Doy Rayburn Yeah, lol, he's using it as a beat which is cool. It's fun to do that.

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.

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...

merci pour votre reponse so well expressed @ NZ . sometime piano player

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. Please visit his homepage at www.lucasestak.com/en/

+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

Welcome back! Luca will be great in this number forever. Have you seen him in this number he composed for me? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2wdshhMIV40.html
