What about a transcription from the most overlooked jazz pianist of all time: Paul Bley

so so brilliant !.. here Chick delivers a real theme + variations at a classical level, but it's improvization !.. wow.. thanks to Michael for giving us access to this sheer beauty 😊

I so love this. There's so much comfort in that G pedal around the bird sounds. And it's G, the brightest sounding of all tones. That same one from Goldberg Variations. Yes that's an anachronistic mistake. Still: bliss.

True flamenco for piano. The highest level of it

Dear Michael, I am so grateful for the Masterwork you do with transcriptions that is so precious and makes me play beautiful pieces that I could otherwise only listen to. Thank you so much for all you continue to do! Just a note, if I can, on this piece that I am learning in these days. I think that at bar 55 ( 1:45 ) the last note of the left hand is an F not an E. With all the respect and gratitude that I can. Thank you

So good

You can tell he absolutely loves it. Listening as close as he can while still playing this majestic masterpiece

This is so touching

0:21 that key change is mystifying to me. He jumps from the biii minor passing chord (Dm) up a min3rd to the ii half-dim (Fm7b5) of the new key, modulating from Bmaj to Ebmaj. Its such a strange modulation on paper and a strange place to put it but it works so seamlessly that you hardly even notice theres a key change at all. The modualtions at the end are also fantastic.

I can hear the song but I can't hear where the lyrics are supposed to go? 🙁

2:53

Beautifully scored and wonderfully played. I would probably score with one flat and mark the whole as G Dorian (as it seems to gravitate towards a G tonality) so that it was the E flats rather than the E naturals that needed accidental marks.

People are so outraged with "surprisingly hip" LOL. Looks like E lydian and Eb minor over C minor at 0m50, extraordinary!

I always thought little by little had this interesting melody and this rendition really goes in depth with it. It's my favorite Radiohead song for a reason

Maestro Lyle's masterpiece. A beautiful homage, bravo & t/y.

Un soir de juillet 1979, palais des congrès, porte maillot, Paris...

Great solo, but isn't the word spelled "Claus"?

Love how that opening motif is in rhythm to the words “christmas is coming.” Text setting with no text!

To ***paraphrase*** Chico in A Night at the Opera, ‘There ain’t no Santa Clause’.

Amazing!

Why is it surprising? 😅

残念な演奏。動画流すには悲しすぎる。センスの無さ発表してどうします。何故天才キースに 挑むのか理解出来ない。出来が良ければ納得だが余りも悲惨。テクニックは有りそうだがセンスが無い。

I imagine this was probably the most cocktail friendly they got him to play. "Ok brad! That was a great solo, but could you be a little less incredible? Like suck a little more?just so people don’t immediately go back to Michael Buble alright, great, thanks!"

Your transcription work is excellent! And it is amazing to me how much better I hear what Jarrett is doing when I can 'see it coming' in the video. Thanks!

Had never heard this version, and I think it's stunning - it has more improvised elements than the others I've heard.

I'm so burnt out on this tune. I can't even listen. OK, he is good with it. I just can't take it any more. I don't want to play this tune. Please do not request this song. Have Ben Franklin ready if you want me to play this stupid song.

This was so moving. Once again, he rearranges the molecules in any space he gifts with his art.

Fascinating to hear this and follow the transcription after getting to know the Tokyo 1984 version (which I still prefer though).

No grunting and whining in the background? This piano player is an imposter! 😅

Please remind me when Brad Mehldau's solo was not hip? Great transcription

That's very hip, indeed. I'd like to hear the whole track. Did you catch the quote of "Joy Spring" in the last chorus?

I have never heard the piano played quite like this. Incredible

ufff...incredible solo. It has it all

surprisingly?

Never a surprise

Awesome! Thanks for the transcription.

GENIOUS PIANO AND TRANSCRIPTION ! thx for sharing ...

A master of the piano transcribed by a master of transcription. 100% fit.

Maestro grazie per tutte le sue trascrizioni gratuite, grazie grazie grazie grazie

You did the hard work by transcribing this, but maybe you should have checked the spelling of "Santa Claus"

Hahah this is so wholesome!! Apparently he also likes Jingle Bell as well😆 he quoted it in Ten Tune from Seymour reads the constitution, at around 3:42!

It takes away from the slightly threatening aura of the lyrics of the song if Brad is kickin' the solo like this

Love it!!

Great job ! I will gladly give you the 10 bucks for it if you include the midi or musicxml file with it. :)

The movie 'The Santa Clause' has ruined the spelling of Santa Claus

What a blast! I think on the same album is a great Mehldau duet with Larry Goldings--organ-piano--with some awesome soloing. Bill Evans also loved Santa Claus is Comin'.

I, for one, am not surprised that a Mehldau solo is hip

ufffffff

Joy Spring quote is genius!
