A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center

Un sospiro fingering

Can someone recommend fingering for the left hand arperggios in the first bar shown? This is bar 41 of the piece.

Thank you

That's what I use. You just have to get comfortable with the wide extension in the first arpeggio from the 5th finger on the low D to the thumb on the F-sharp.

hehe, that's an awsome piece!! well, considering that my repertoir is rather limited compared to most other ppl here, that's probably not saying much. but i luv how it can be so big, full and dramatic but lyrical at the same time, complete with some pretty calm bits. How are u going with the 2 crazy running passages?
