Video: Lulu`s back in town - as Oscar Peterson

[lafo]

My try of this I am not a jazz pianist, so bare with me I play only Peterson, because i like him so much

[thalbergmad]

I thought that was stunning.

If you are not a jazz pianist, you do a bloody good impression of one.

Please post more.

Hehe thank you!! )

I agree with Thal, this and your other piece are two of the most accomplished and enjoyable posts here in recent months. I wouldn't take too much notice of the criticisms regarding rhythm on youtube. A certain amount of elasticity in tempo and rhythmic contrast in this type of playing adds to the overall life and is more interesting than continuous metronomic stride.

Yes, please post more.   

[lafo]

Thank you very much!! I am very happy that you liked my playing ) Soon, i will start working on that piece from Peterson:

 

When i have it i will post it ) Thanks again!

[ronde_des_sylphes]

Very well done. Ignore the youtube comments about tempo. You certainly don't sound like a classical pianist trying to play jazz, your playing is far too natural for that!

[lafo]

Thank you for your kind words!!

[cbreemer]

You certainly don't have to make excuses for being a classical pianist - this is fantastic playing. You can see why Peterson is Kapustin's big idol.
It's a pity that the sound quality isn't better, there is a massive hiss and the piano does not sound
well in tune. You could also improve on the lighting. 

[lafo]

Thank you

I recorded this on a cruise ship with my phone So yes, sound and light is not good. The piano was massively out of tune plus atleast 10 broken strings..

This is a better sound recording..only audio though:

[cbreemer]

Ah, that sounds much better indeed. This sounds maddeningly difficult to play. Great job !

[ronde_des_sylphes]

Yes, very nice. And it autoplayed forward onto your Bizet Ave Maria, which I must say was absolutely lovely.

[lafo]

Thanks! I really appreciate it! )
