[@Whateverworksism]

I love this so much Chris. Thank you.

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

Thank you!

[@mikedaniels3009]

This is cloud nine travel tours. Bliss. Thank you Maestro Chris.

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

I didn't see you comment until now. Thank you for those very kind words.

[@Gershwin48]

I was in a bad mood while surfing the net...and then I clicked this......everything melted away. Thanks

[@Syarikat]

Love your voicings! Great playing, enjoyed it and learned something to boot.

[@Gustavo_Weckesser]

Wait a minute. I´ll take a glass of my best scotch and enjoy replaying this work of art a couple of times. Play it again Chris!!!

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

You're very kind - much appreciated!

[@ry.albert]

Just discovered this channel. One of my favorite pianists to get inspiration from now. Thank you!

[@timwells6011]

love chris dawson. my favourite piano player. thank you

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

Thanks so much Tim! Really appreciate your comment.

[@MiguelTicona]

You are great man

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

Hey Mike, I'll take that as you liked my rendition - Thanks!

[@petergill6338]

This is pure Magic ! Greetings from the UK.

[@musicalrt]

You have everything! So unfair! Perfect technique and rhythmic sense, a dynamic and inventive grasp of the jazz vocabulary and an enviable harmonic vocabulary! Stunning!

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

I know I'm a tad late, but thanks for your comment! I'm just seeing it now. I appreciate the kind words.

[@solo_international777]

Fantastic , great job!!!!!!

[@noisemachin3]

This is perfect.

[@jamesten]

@ChrisDawsonMusic You'd think I'd recognize one of "our" pianos. I used to represent Yamaha to the classical (and often) jazz industry. This piano has such a fat bass. It's wonderful -- a CFIIIS, I suppose. Glad I could hear both Hyman and Hersch in your pristine rendition. Yes it's hard -- sustaining something that sophisticated yet balanced. At any rate, I like your work a lot.

[@mileszaud]

gonna steal this :)🔥🙏😭

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

Hey Miles, glad you like it and feel free! Looking forward to hearing you again. I bet you're sounding great.

[@WannesVanderhoeven]

So beautiful. Thank you.

[@jamesten]

I hear influences of Mr. Hyman and Mr. Hersch in this loving rendition. I also note that you enjoy playing a big Steinway with the lid and cover down. That is a special sound.

[@derek24hudson]

Really beautiful interpretation...thanks for the moment!

[@WinrichNaujoks]

Chris, where've you gone? We need more music vids from you!

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

Sorry, I haven't been great about keeping up with my KZbin account. Thanks for the kind comment.

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

Very nice of you. Thanks.

[@MrStasdoc]

it is wonderful !!!!!!!

[@barrowmeoct04]

Beautiful, I just started learning this tune, heard it played so many ways, love your treatment of it, especially the lovely chords in the intro, and the strolling slow stride feel later on.. thank you

[@barrowmeoct04]

Just took the left hand II V I you did at 2:00-2:06 and moving it through the 12 keys, it's a start, sounds great, thankfully not too difficult to decipher. Those overhead shots are too valuable. Thanks

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

Glad you're finding something to get out of it. I also like looking at what people are doing and analyzing things.

[@prolixsicklicks]

Beautifully played! Thoroughly spellbinding.

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

Thanks so much.

[@rogerdsmith]

@jsteeber In one of his other videos you can see the marking C6 on the plate. For those who don't know the size/model - the C6 is Yamaha's premium 6'11" piano.

[@JoeCea]

Excellent!!!

[@johnroberts5515]

What a stretch in the left hand! That left 5th finger does NOT have a mind all of its own - it is under masterful control!

[@BlowtheTrump9683]

I love your style Chris. Great playing. I would like for you to play Stella by Starlight which is another classic standard.

[@baribarium]

Superba interpretazione,

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

Thanks for the supportive comments! Regarding tutorials...I'll put some thought in how to go about it. But at the moment, I'm focusing more on actual performances.

[@andraedsmith]

Dude you killed this!!!! Great Interpretation!!!!

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

@jsteeber Yes...I really love Dick Hyman and Fred Hersch. Had a few lessons with Fred while living in NYC a few years back. Anything by Hyman is just fine by me. I'd also say that Alan Broadbent really got me thinking about how to swing lines slowly. They're slow, yet swing...not stagnant. Also, not easy to do. Takes a lot of control. Not a Steinway, but a Yamaha. I like the more mellow sound with the lid down, but probably better to have it up for the recording.

[@TribalJazzman]

Well, makes me believe in the supreme goodness of the universe.

[@greenwoodjazz]

Lovely , Do you have a album? I hope to listen to your music more.

[@nezkeys79]

Well, wouldn't it be loverly to play 10ths in my LH

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

Nice image (I wish I had a balcony too).

[@jamesten]

Ah yes. In this video, though, with the top down, and via this recording, you have the essence of a concert grand -- not a bad thing to have. I have a C3 Midi Grand. That would be an instrument ten inches shorter than the item pictured. Both are wonderful scales (as said by piano makers).

[@knot4reel91]

Brilliant

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

@Gershwin48 I'm so glad to hear that and happy you like the clip. Thanks.

[@Hyeon1116]

WOW!!!

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

Thanks TribalJazzman. That means a lot coming from you.

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

I'm happy you like it. Thank you.

[@영화음악-w1i]

Good morning I am a student studying jazz piano. I love your performance so much I want to play I still do not have the ability to copy. I want to try playing your performance Really excuse me Please come Can you share the music sheet of this song? By mail. In order not to lower the value of your performance. I will not share it with anyone. I will cherish it. Please If it's really really hard, I want to buy. If so, how long will it be possible? Thank you for your reply

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

I'm sorry of not getting back to you. I haven't been very active here on KZbin, but I really appreciate the kind words. Unfortunately, I don't have a written transcription of the music on this video. It was all improvised. I hope your jazz piano has been going well!

[@faalarcon100]

I was wonderfull. Do you have the music sheet?

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

Hi Franklin, this was improvised and not written out. Glad you liked it - thanks.

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

@MrStasdoc Most appreciated. Glad you like it.

[@7notemode]

Killer!!

[@PiotrBarcz]

I'm hearing Art Tatum all over xD

Hi Chris, I have made a new video of stride piano. I'd like to know your feeling about it... @

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

@derek24hudson Your welcome and thanks for checking it out.

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

@knot4reel91 Thanks for both kind comments.

[@knot4reel91]

@Gershwin48 A sign of good music.

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

@7notemode Thanks!

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

@andraedsmith Thanks - I appreciate it.

[@piepiepiepiepiepieok]

are you able to make a easy tutorial for this kink of music? (only accords)

[@ChrisDawsonMusic]

I'm seeing your comment only now...sorry I missed it. I don't do tutorials, but hope the view of my hands playing can be helpful to musicians.
