Guaraldi (Keveren)- Christmas Time Is Here

[49410enrique]

So after the troubles I had w the electric piano audio only upload in the "holiday performances thread" here's a piano take. I think I actually played a little better in the othe one but w the circumstances instill sorta liked this one. Basically reading with a light improv in spots to keep it going. Was able to rehearse it a few times so this prolly only has a few reads all the way through.

I hope others continue to  to upload holiday pieces thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!

I'm so incredibly thankful to everyone for listening and commenting. I am even happier that you all enjoyed it! Apologies for not being able to reply to each post as I'm am still traveling and time and access to the net is not so great.

I just wanted to share something pretty with folks and I am very glad I seem to have succeeded.  If  I can not log back in for a few days, I would like to wish you all a very joy filled and happy holiday! Merry Christmas everyone.

Thanks so much again

That's lovely, Enrique!  Looking at you with your muscles it's hard to imagine that you can produce such a delicate touch on the piano.  But you do!  I can feel the gentle snowfall, little flakes tinkling and I can even see the stars in the sky glittering.  Heavenly!

And I wish you the merriest Christmas!

ive always been fond of this soulful little tune and think phillip keveren is a talented transcriber, he handled this piece quite well and managed to  make it sound 'jazzy' without it really looking all that jazzy w regard to his score.

im happy i could put something pretty accross to folks. thanks for listening and the compliments!
