i keep watching this video, you play some nice lines

[@ellietrotta8626]

Omg I love this. You kinda have a Johnny Costa vibe there

[@lorriepate4211]

I love big jazz pianists like Oscar Peterson, or Art Tatum, but there is something to be said for nice, humble, quiet, inventive jazz renditions. I absolutely love your playing. Where did you start out (learning jazz that is)?

[@geoffmobile]

Thank you Lorrie! I studied classical piano when I was young. I started learning jazz in Grade 9 highschool. But I really only started playing jazz piano in 1st year university, when I joined a jazz combo at the SFU Jazz Club. We got our first gig playing at a restaurant in 2003. At that time I started studying privately with Chris Sigerson for 2 years. After that I was mostly self-taught and also attended some summer jazz workshops with Ross Taggart, Tom Wakeling, Phil Dwyer, Sharon Minemoto, Brad Turner ,and several other inspiring jazz musicians.

Very nice arrangement.

[@ericmitchell9331]

Great arrangement, thanks for sharing the video!

[@Koruohiatain]

This is a wonderful cover dude, I love how visibly into it you get, really helps push the emotion through what you are playing. Keep it up man!!

[@김한비-v1f]

everything about this video is great

[@mel1001]

One of my favorite Lewis compositions; I have many interpretations of it. I think you acquitted yourself very well, Geoff. Remember that when playing solo piano you don't have to play in tempo - it can often be very interesting to play something out of tempo; indeed that's one aspect of solo piano that I love so much - why don't you try it? Best wishes.

[@zombeats2160]

I loved this cover, nicely done

[@PinkFoxworld]

sounds good and your introduction was professional

[@geoffmobile]

+oshane lampart thank you oshane!! :D

[@muggeric]

this is wicked solid man. I like your style - clean, smooth, humble.

[@tonydivicino]

beautiful i discover today you playing thankyou

[@bigstriderman]

My hat goes off to you Geoff. I like how you keep the left hand out of the middle register so that your right hand can play like a tenor sax or perhaps the lower register of a trumpet. Oh, and the tempo is lovely. I find that playing relaxed can be harder than playing fast. Does that make sense? It's also nice to hear you talk and convey your zeal for this music to the audience.

[@TromboneAl]

Nice -- I've been playing this for years, but your version is much nicer. What a nice style you've got! You've given me a lot of ideas for things to try in my own playing.

[@denisesancan9693]

You are amazing, Geoff- a treasure!!! By the way---keep up those great food revues!! Bless you, my dear!!!

[@geoffmobile]

thank you Denise!! :D Best wishes, Geoff

[@rachelmorais7350]

Great rendition of the song! I just started out playing Jazz. I've been playing classical for a long time and have been finding jazz a lil bit intimidating but after listening to your version of Afternoon in Paris, it's sounds so clear and nice. 😊

[@geoffmobile]

[@bermchasin]

very nice -jeff

[@geoffpeterstrio]

@ACEweVideos thank you :) it's really up to your personal taste and what fits for the song. It can help fill in a turnaround where the melody isn't doing anything :)

[@geoffpeterstrio]

@tenderfootV thank you :) that's awesome!

[@aclifford_18]

Lovely, as always :) I like how you add some walking bass between the chords, any advice when best to use that technique in a piece?

[@TomRubicon5949]

You should look at Jens Larsen (he's on youtube), he has a lesson on that I think
