a flawless rendition. absolute textbook standard playing. One could study only this video and learn almost everything there is to learn about straight ahead playing.
Wow Grew combined soulfulness, gospel undertones, blues, with Oscar Peterson style. He was to piano what Cannonball was to the alto. Those are my favorite players they just touch me way down with all that richness they bring to their instrument. His music will live on! Just as Cannonball and many other greats
Pepole, who say that they fell in love with jazz music even some of jazz programmers, but most of them have not even heard of Mulgrew Miller's name and his touch of piano.
this is great, and thank you for uploading, but I'm only getting the right channel -- I think some others commented the same thing -- so if you can fix that it would be great. anyway, glad to hear the music.
I know what u mean, but Monk played this stuff and he was as you probably know one of the first boppers, but sure his style never became mainstream, but still
@JLorz84 i prefer mulgrew over Kenny... but i feel what you're saying. i think what you're describing is the way classical pianism has become more apparent in modern jazz (thats that sort of MODERN sound we've been hearing from aaron parks among others). Kenny was an intense classical player. not sure about mulgrew though.
