10.4

Hope you're still around, Vern! Let's go for 100!

@@SirCaco why so low, how about 150

Let's be realistic Boogie-woogie can add years to your miserable lives But to play it loudly to others' enjoyment must be worth sth in altruistic terms Regards PJ

Yup siree Go for it!

@@PeeeJaay7777 I'm 95 and i watch anime

Amazing

It's true!

I watch this video atleast twice a week, for the last 5 years. Of a kid playing for 3 minutes who is probably 30 by now.

@@magentuspriest same

Check out newer videos of him playing it. The one where he's in the white wife beater is the best.

Mr Johnson, greetings from northern Ohio, U.S.A.,I hope all is well, take care and be safe!

Greetings from the San Fernando Valley. Be safe. Live free.

@@Hoaxer51 Rather than being safe, we should prioritise being free human beings.

@@joseph1845, I agree, just being friendly and adding something to my reply.

I also like to drunk cry watching this. Cheers!

Yes ser me to

If you havent seen or heard better, you havent been around much.

Amen to that Bill!

+Bill Hyder never will :-)

boogie lives forever

Good Music will always be passed down .. obscure irrelavant music like rap will soon die off

This 2009 version sets the standards no one can beat it. This is his best version.

Jim Miller Bravo Indeed

He Really Is Jim...

Nope. Take some time and look around. You'll find better.

User_error dream on princess

User_error you are an idiot, Show me a kid who's playing the chopin g minormballade quiet good

Boris Bakow what kid would want to play that?

Boris Bakow You're the idiot, so take a lesson, smartass, from a guy who grew up in a family of professional classical musicians and has been playing jazz all my life. . Many great jazz musicians have always been able to play classical music, but classical musicians almost NEVER can play any form of jazz or the blues. That is why jazz is America's exclusive musical art form, exported to the entire world. Any pianist who studies seriously can play Chopin. The damn notes were written by the composer and you study how to play the piece the way the composer intended , albeit with your own interpretation, if you're good. But in jazz, the musician is BOTH the performer and the composer, and improvises as he or she plays. Every single piece, even from the same performer, is a surprise and never the same. Liszt could improvise with classical music, but even that's very different from jazz improvisation. They also have a very finely developed sense of rhythm that classical musicians simply cannot imitate, no matter how hard they try, with very few exceptions =they just can't "swing" That's why Benny Goodman could bring phenomenal, historic toe tapping jazz to Carnegie Hall in 1938 and decades later play classical music concerts and was actually BETTER than most classical clarinet players and was known for that. It was his finely honed jazz musical sense that allowed him to play classical clarinet that well, not the other way around. You're the type of musically illiterate snob who makes people HATE classical music. Now, for the biiiig surprise, dumbass. Luca Sestak had been formally studying classical piano for several years, but found himself coming home from high school and playing nothing but boogie-woogie and finally just gave up classical piano and is performing boogie-woogie and blues concerts today. If you think this music is simple, you need to try it. It's very easy to learn the notes, if you're classically trained, but you ain't gonna swing or sound even remotely like Albert Ammons, I guarantee it. And all you're gonna ever be is a tenth rate imitation of a musical genius. Luca can improvise, and he has the rhythm. Studying classical music to learn the instrument technically, is one thing, but it has nothing to do with the ability to play jazz.

Daaaaammmmnnnnn y’all just got fucking destroyed.

That is his Dad

There's always a cinic...

That was some KILLER Boogie Woogie! What I wouldn't give to be able to play HALF as good. Great job, young man! I know your dad is proud of you.

@@davidhollingsworth6965 It's spelled cynic. And I have no idea what you are talking about. I was just making a light-hearted joke. Calm yourself.

@@_aje Oh...my bad, I just read where someone listened to an awesomely talented teenage piano player, and instead of admiring that talent and complimenting him: just took a dig at his maturity because he sought approval from his dad...that was his dad, by the way - and no...you WERE being ciniical. That's how I want to spell it...

Maybe the maple leaf rag will?

+yeeshuher Jeez, I never thought of that. And I knew the Rag at the time too. I might not have hit a home run but it certainly would have gotten me to 2nd base. That would have netted a Homecoming Princess, if not the Queen herself. 8-)

J Joe Townley Maybe big fat ham (or big foot ham) would get you a date too! Btw I am learning the maple leaf rag at the moment!

yeeshuher Good luck. It's a great piece. Maybe it'll get YOU a date with the Homecoming Queen, or at least a Princess.

J Joe Townley Thank you, my friend!

Hard work maybe

Actually it was Bartolomeo Cristofori's gift to the music world.

God also made the computers and the internet, thanks God.

Bartolomeo Cristofori was working under Gods arrangement :D

***** Exactly, God sends brainless people to worship him, but he sends smart people to build things!

Nihilanth Non Serviam But you can worship him and still build great things, whats your point?

Love it!!!!

He set the standard with this no one can touch him not even the original

2024 now :)

North Tron if he managed play that so why not?)

Margi K. ikr

North Tron huh?

Margi K. Im kinda confused too.

+North Tron he's a dumbass...

+Richard Jackson Ha_Ha Just watched this video, commented, scrolled down and found you posted almost the same thing!

+Richard Jackson or they just don't like it lol

+Richard Jackson Well.....some people actually think that rap is music. So, there's no accounting for taste. However; clicking on dislike is the only way to quickly get youtube to stop suggesting stuff you don't like. It's not like they hate it, they just prefer something else. If you don't click on dislike, you keep getting more of the same suggestions. Try it; click on another boogie woogie selection. after a couple more, that's all they'll suggest to you.

MrTehRave you show the world you have more ass than class and absolutely zero refinement

isopath1 Thanks for addressing my point dumbass

Frits van den Broek, hi Frits nice comment!

Frits van den Broek lol ik ben zelf Nederlands en ik heb nog nooit van het woord “firtuoos” gehoor.

Ja het is eigenlijk ook virtuoos.
