Autumn Leaves (Solo Piano)

“Autumn Leaves" (Joseph Karma)
Bijan Taghavi, piano
Recorded a set of SOLO PIANO tunes at Maestro Delaney’s studio in Cave Creek, AZ on his wonderful Yamaha C3 piano. Recorded with Earthworks Microphones.
Every time I assign a tune to my ONLINE VIDEO students, I like to give them a version of me playing it from a gig so they can see their teacher do what they do.
Often times I don’t have a version of myself playing many of these basic tunes because I don’t get to play them on many gigs. So this was an opportunity for me to record tunes like “Autumn Leaves".
For those interested in studying jazz piano, shoot me an email at [e-mail] and we can set up a FREE ZOOM LESSON ASSESSMENT where I can tell you all about my unique Video Submission Lessons.

Solo piano is often a SCARY setting to function in because you are completely naked without the support of a bass and drums rhythm section. But it is a very interesting setting because you can orchestrate and use the whole piano, or even go in different directions rhythmically and harmonically like changing the meter or the key spontaneously which you would not be able to communicate in a rhythm section.

I love the run you referenced from Petrucciani, and I love the fact that I noticed it ❤

[@BijanTaghavi]

I have no idea what you’re talking about but I’ll take it as a compliment! 😂🙏

[@hambogey1106]

@@BijanTaghavi that super fast run at 2:15! I noticed the same run in Michel Petrucciani's solo live performance video at around 6:15. Now I'm curious, where did you find the inspiration for that riff? If its part of the tune, I apologize for the blatant ignorance 💀
