This guy is exceptional! Really gifted. I believe his full name is Bram Wijands. If you enjoyed this piece, you’ll love his performance of Hallelujah. It’s absolutely spectacular! (Yes, it’s on RU-vid!)
This guy is wonderful. Such calm but swinging control. Never heard of him, until now. Will certainly watch for more. So much to learn from him. Love Surrey with the Fringe at the 3’ mark!
Wonderful.. A little Art Tatum and a little Erroll Garner. But fore most himself.. Bravo. I love your way of calmness. You Are sitting like a Cliff without moving your body much like the other great pianists like Tatum, Horowitz and others. If you still work hard you Will Be in level with Them. Maybe you allready Are. My great great compliment!!
Don't know how to express more admiration and respect than the people having posted earlier comments.... I am really seriously impressed from both technical and musical perspectives... top level
Bedankt voor je compliment. Ik heb altijd al jazz willen spelen vanaf dat ik een kleuter was. Uiteindelijk heb ik aan het Hilversums Conservatorium gestudeerd onder Lex Jasper en Henk Elkerbout. Jan Huydts was de directeur van de Jazzafdeling. Mijn favorieten zijn stride-swing pianisten zoals o.a. Fats Waller, Teddy Wilson, Mel Powell, Art Tatum en natuurlijk Erroll Garner. Ik heb ook een swing band hier in Kansas City. Ik schrijf ook Big Band arrangementen in the swingstijl. Ik woon al sinds 1992/93 in Kansas City maar kom ng regelmatig naar Nederland. Ik sta ook op facebook.....
bram could you record another solo on tea for two in studio or with a mic . something like that in the future? my headphones make it sound muddy but its so amazing up there with tatum
