I've waited 7 years. It was worth it. Hope i don't have to wait another 7 ;-)

[@rkjp56]

Ha,ha. Trying to get back into it. Thank you

[@MichaelKaykov]

Woooo he is BACK. I can’t believe it....

[@mbut123]

7 days, that's more like it.

[@TonyWinston]

It is so great to see you again!

[@klavier1us]

Yes, you've not been forgotten. Glad your absence was not due to health issues and delighted to hear you again. Your Tatum inflected touch remains superb. Welcome back & encore.

[@rkjp56]

Thanks Klave. Just working toooo much. Started my own business. (piano tuning) Slower pace w/Covid.

[@magnusbangolsen2765]

Great to have you back, well dressed and swinging. I wish you all the best with the business.

[@musicislanguage8657]

I actually think, you could really teach a hole lot about jazz. You really are the person that gets the closest in virtuosic playing like Tatum was, in my opinion. So many great runs, different accompinaments with stride, counter- melodies, walking-Bass and a while lot more! I actually are very sure, people would like to learn from you. I appreciate your time and effort you put into your piano and jazz - you're grooving soo hard, it's really great. Thanks for uploading!! Have a nice and healthy time :)

[@artlevine7374]

It's wonderful to have you back again! You're sounding better than ever. Your absence worried me but I'm delighted you're back, rested, ready and swinging!

[@filistro]

Hope you Are well my friend. We both love and play Art Tatum. I am glad to hear you play again. Let me hear a little from you.

[@MichaelKaykov]

Who else is watching this video repeatedly?

[@BeatdownRevival]

100% Excellent!!!

[@grandpastunes769]

I can't believe you're back! I subscribed just on the scant chance that you might return, and I'm so glad I did! I hope there are many more videos to come. Your previous videos, particularly the swing bass and two-fingered run videos, have helped me so much as a (very) amateur hobbyist. If you ever do decided to go through with piano lessons online, just let me know. I would be ecstatic to learn from you. I tried taking piano lessons before, but it didn't go far with 90% of piano teachers being classical based. The few jazz pianists around are all into the "modern" style and don't know much about the old ways.

[@frankdambra]

We love you ! Thanks for coming back.

[@Bookssful]

Wonderful playing, you shoul be posting more often.

[@rkjp56]

Will do, Cocktail piano

[@MichaelKaykov]

@@rkjp56 please post as much as you can, your marvelous playing should be well-documented!

[@mellowords]

I just found your channel this week, so glad you have a library of videos from over the years. You're a great player and teacher both. Wishing you the best with the channel!

[@jakedickerson]

Thank God you're back!

[@user-lh3pz8dv3o]

Amazing!

[@Maitanecantautora1]

Nice playing

[@jeanjohnnyg.2276]

What a nice Christmas present : you are back ! From snowy Montreal (Qc, Canada), Joyeux Noël, Roger ! Best wishes of health, peace and many more piano videos for 2021 !

[@danielbaech4272]

Good to see you!

[@SeanStanley1986]

Definitely start teaching! Thanks for all the Tatum licks way back when! And the swing bass stuff!

[@jahvicente8651]

Man you got some much of Art's touch..

[@zoltanns]

Sir, I'm so glad you are back! I have been waiting for about 10 years to see your new video. You are one of my greatest inspirations for solo jazz piano playing and watched your old videos countless times to learn some of your techniques. Thank you for coming back, stay safe! Many greetings and respect, Zoltan

[@TheDubChronicles]

Amazing to hear you play again after over a decade!

[@rubatone]

Thanks for returning! Inspiring runs :) Wish you all the best and hope that your business goes back to normal soon.

[@the83rdtrombonist60]

WELCOME BACK!! What you should do is make videos at least once a week so that you can get more subscribers and set up a patreon so that people can give you money that you can survive on.

[@MichaelKaykov]

Agreed!

[@massivelymusic6006]

What in the hell. I started piano tuning on the 7th september 2020. Got really into jazz in 2019 and have been learning loads of stuff and watched this mans video on art Tatum runs (probably about a couple weeks ago) and then realised he hadn’t uploaded for 7 years and was disappointed. Low and behold another upload two weeks later after a 7 year hiatus!!!!

[@Posark]

Great stuff, thank you for uploading!!

[@robbiethemann]

Nice to have you back.

[@johnanderson9494]

Great to hear you playing again. I would take lessons from you.

[@drnubb762]

what a treat to see you back. I first discovered your videos about 7 years ago when I first started learning tatum-style stride and swing bass. All of your videos have been a priceless resource to me all these years. I still reference them, especially your instructional videos. It's so great to hear a new recording of you playing :)

[@jeffwojtasik4188]

So glad you are back! Please let us know if you would be interested in doing online lessons. I would sign up for swing base line lessons in a second!

[@DietrichMegaDNelsonJr]

So glad u are doing well. Praying things will get back to normal ans your business will be back up

[@Degenerate_Gen]

Nice to have you back!

[@gary19531953]

Came across some of your old videos, glad you decided to come back to yt. I would have thought you'd play for a living not tune pianos... you make it look really easy. Wish I had that kind of dexterity....Please keep posting....btw your pianos have great color and clarity..

[@samueljoycemusic]

Thank you so much for coming back to youtube. You've been an inspiration over the years.

[@samueljoycemusic]

Also you might be interested in my transcription of Johnny Guarnieri's Stealin' Apples on my channel :)

[@SamWatts89]

Perfect timing! I just started watching all your videos last week and I love it, looking forward to seeing more of your playing!

[@noahmaillouxmusic]

What a pleasant surprise! I very much enjoy your videos. Thanks!

[@XplusX12345678]

There is pretty much Art’s version. Please do more videos. We someone to keep classic solo Jazz alive.

[@unho126]

lol when the picture of jesus slided down

[@rkjp56]

Unplaned, take as a sign of good things(LOL)

[@garynordell1]

Welcome back!! Thanks so much. I eagerly await new videos.

[@dellroy301]

Im so glad your back, your my favorite pianist on youtube. Can you please repost the video you did on piano improvisation? You went through every key and the harmomies you played were beautiful.

[@jahvicente8651]

Oh man!!! So glad you're back!! I always watch your videos!! I'm a fan since your first videos!!

[@rkjp56]

Thanks so much Vicente! I will try to upload more😃

[@treborserrot666]

Thank you and I look forward to anything you post. You're amazing.

[@DickyBalboa]

So good to have you back sir! Hope You're doing great during these hard times.

[@MichaelKaykov]

Delighted that you are back!!!! I’ve studied all your videos, really quite astonishing. I’m happy that you are ok... please keep recording your wonderful playing. Ah... this beautiful tune... yes! Hearing this on the acoustic instrument is so nice! If you set up a Patreon I think you could see some nice income from KZbin, I’m already waiting for your next video...

[@rkjp56]

Thanks so much!

[@MichaelKaykov]

@@rkjp56 no, truly, it is astonishing. I wish you would document your marvelous playing - regularly. It’s so imaginative... you’ve assimilated so much of Art’s style, it’s amazing! Have you considered recording some things for a CD to sell? I’d buy it... You can self-release on-demand printed CDs with trepstar (at no cost), for instance...

[@HenryTOUSSSoisinfluent]

Please make an online piano course to teach the fondation of Art Tatum style ! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@maxwilson8133]

So pleased you are back! Love your playing!

[@loweryt737]

Good to see you back. God bless you. I'm praying you'll be alright. I would be willing to take lessons from you over zoom. If you decide to do that please put the way to contact you for that in a later video.

[@PSSST100]

Wow fabulous playing! Very pleased to have just found your channel too so please put more material up.

[@rblossey]

Way to end 2020 on a good note!!! 😁 Christmas came early this year. So good to see you playing again Roger. You are one of the flagbearers of the style, whether you know it or not. There's so many videos on KZbin of people who "learned a Tatum piece" and then there's those that speak that language *fluently* and with style ;) So glad to see you still have THAT piano too! You really make it sing. You haven't lost a thing, and I dare say your technique looks even more efficient than it did ten years ago 😂 I could go on, but for now I think I speak for all of us when I say welcome back, and please keep doing what you're doing! 😁

[@rogercheng9394]

Glad to see you're back! Your videos are awesome especially the art tatum ones

[@pintastic5876]

He’s back!

[@fryingwiththeantidote2486]

welcome back man

[@elliottlindkvist326]

Found you on youtube a year ago and I really love the way you play the piano. I figured since you hadn't uploaded in several year that I wouldn't see any new videos from you but I subscribed still! And I'm so happy to see you play again today! Thanks for uploading and I hope your job situation gets solved. :)

[@hans_nl]

That is some fine playing Sir!

[@TheZencrook]

I remember you and your great instruction on Tatum 2 finger runs......please do some more of his runs ....

[@michaelshark1]

Glad you are back on You Tube, would love to see more technique tutorials on harmony and stylistic playing of the great jazz masters. Thank you again. Your playing is awesome and technique solid.

[@eminmusaiev8473]

Would love to study with you if you ever decide to go forward with it! Welcome back:)

[@motob4406]

Rodger you bring such a energetic and personal touch to your playing, it's exciting and encouraging, I'm glad to see you're well and back. Take care, i would love to see lessons on your playing in the future.

[@eky]

NEVER CLICKED AS FAST

[@coltmaster1911]

Huge fan!! But did you delete some of your older jazz talks / studies videos??? I really enjoyed those!

[@williamanderson9557]

Amazing! You are clearly still on your game after that time. You swing hard and have a great sense of time. You should look into getting a tripod with an arm (amazon for about $90) so you can take a video from above. It would be great for people like me who's get a lot from studying your fingerings. Check out Kent Hewitt's videos, he's got the perspective I'm talking about. Real easy to see.

[@rkjp56]

Thanks, will check out. But my fingerings not so good. I know what u mean. Seeing whats being played.

[@xXdavidroeck1996Xx]

What book would you recommend for jazz piano beginners? Im a classical trained piano player but i really wanna learn how to play jazz piano!

[@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel]

I just discovered your channel. If you like tuning pianos, that's great, but it's downright criminal that someone who plays as well as you do would _need_ to tune pianos to make ends meet.

[@amn7700]

Wow, I thought he passed away.

[@charlesrosemusic5499]

Not even a bit rusty.

[@MarimaruXD]

Way too long :(
