Luca, I have watched videos of you for several years here on youtube. In some you were much younger, and I thought you were pretty good. I didn't really believe, you would be all that good, when you got older, if you did indeed stay with the piano. I have to say you have turned out to be one of the best I have ever heard. Everything you play is played with an articulate ear, and you have a wonderful feel for the correct rhythm of songs across the spectrum of all types of music. From the Boogie Woogie, to the softest of the most beautiful melodies you have the feel, and the style. I have played piano for longer than you have been alive, and am familiar with many different pianists. You are way above all the boogie woogie/jazz players that are out playing right now. Don't lose your head and keep up the good work. I see you as becoming one of the greats like Oscar Peterson, or someone of that stature. Salute.

[@janetmcclellan896]

I agree with Luvstruck and his comments about how well you play every song. I watch your you tubes at least once a day, and up three times a day. It depends on what time I have available. Keep up what you do every day. You are a true master of the piano!!!

[@MrJdsenior]

@@janetmcclellan896 "I didn't really believe you would be all that good, when you got older, if you did indeed stay with the piano" I think you need to work on your predictive skills. For my take, that's kind of like listening to very early, very young Hiromi or Yuja Wang, and being ho hum unimpressed. On the Oscar Peterson and the later portions of your Sestak analysis I totally agree. But maybe you should listen to some Art Tatum, and hear the interview with Count Basie where they discuss HIS talent (It is on YT, and hilarious. That Basie almost missed his second calling as a comedian. His timing and witty cutting replies are world class level. And Oscar's stories about Tatum will make you WANT to hear some. Oscar said he followed Tatum a few times in concerts and thought something to the tune of "why bother?". In one of Sestak's videos Jonny May gives a very positive assessment of one of Luca's renditions. It was predictably the number one comment with n ks of likes. Some of Jonny's "never play this song in this style" are not only entertaining but actual music. And he's no slouch tickling the ivories, either. Maybe a bit less showy than Luca, but very good, MHO. I can pretty much guarantee it was one of Luca's favorite comments, a guess, but I'd bet better than even money on it, were I a betting man. Cheers and happy trails.

[@Account-ru8wt]

I've been watching his videos since like 2009, so glad I never forgot his name. He is the one who, when I started watching online at such a young age, introduced me to boogie woogie itself with Swanee River! :) He will go down in the same category as pianists like Billy Joel and Herbie Hancock and Ray Charles. SO talented and hardworking and one of the many underrated examples of young musicians keeping great music alive

[@EricLaermans]

You don't sing it, you are the blues! :-) Very nice!

[@BillMiller55]

props to the drummer for keeping the beat during the interlude. It would have been really easy to lose it. Nice voice.

[@maxinewright-moore5414]

Lucas you play with improvisational skills of virtuosi pianists 3 times your age. In my humble opinion you are the most exciting and inspirational young pianist of our time.

[@jivanvasant]

Amazing, unexpected, throaty, raspy vocals with moody, heartfelt blues.

[@velcroman11]

Is this bloke a re-incarnation of one of those old southern blues singers? I certainly hope so because we (the WORLD!) needs a few more of them!

[@ayrow69]

Amazing. From a fellow professional piano player, you are a breath of fresh air. Very well done.

[@gabbie1967hun]

+ayrow69 ....yes He's a great musician, totally agreed with You! A really fresh style.... young but talented ! Bravo

[@Timthetangent]

Lovely. Just lovely.

[@alanfrost6340]

Luca ,who would have thought when we first saw you as a little boy of 14 you would become such a great pianist. Well,a lot of us, the talent was already obvious. I remember you posting you hoped your voice would develop. It has although to equal your playing it must become very special. Myself I think it is now good and will become great. Please come to the UK with Johannes and bring Martin Pyrker and Sabine to share the concerts. Wishing you luck on top of your talent. James Booker was great ,and you can stand with him.

This must be the 1,000th time I have listened to this AMAZING performance. If I ever hear of you playing the the Toronto area, I will be there come Hell or high water. If possible, Massey Music Hall in Toronto. Simply AMAZING acoustics there. Your talent would be lost in the modern monstrosity that is Roy Thompson Hall.

[@maryalicebuchanan9542]

Now that I've heard you sing all I can is: You've got it kid!

[@TalestoryJL]

Luca Sestak's version : Nobody knows you Once I lived the life of a millionaire. I've spent all my money, all that I just didn't care. I've been taking all my friends out, Look for a mighty good time. We've been drinking bootleg liquor, champagne and wine. As soon as that began, I began to fall so low. I don't have no friends at all. I (have) no place to go. So with forever take my hands with baybe Oh I'm down again. I'm gonna hold on to it, until that eagle grins. Oh 'cause nobody.. loves you. ..and nobody knows you. .. when you're down and out. So deep down in your pocket baybe I know you, so ain't got a penny And to good all friends who so and leaves and so and leave so you don't have any OHHh (Piano & Drum's Legendary Break) WELL IF YOU FINALLY Get back on, (and get) free again. Everybody wants to be your long lost friend. ey Ah, so tell me, isn't my mind strange. And so, without no doubt, There is, no one that will use you. And nobody needs you when you're down and out. Heee↘ee↘ee↘eeyy Mmmm There is no one that will use you AND NOBODY NEEDS YOU AND NOBODY LOVES YOU baby AND NOBODY GIVES A FUCK THERE IS NOBODY THERE IS NOBODY THERE IS NO ONE THAT WILL USE YOU AND NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT.

My introduction, were I to do one: WTH??? And he SINGS, too? At some point it would just be ridiculous, if it weren't so damned GOOD. 🙂 He comes up with some of the coolest and most amazing, in the true meaning of the word, interpretations I have ever heard. And his playing, well that's not too shabby either. YOU are in for a treat, sit back, be entertained, please fasten your seat belts, and keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle. He's musically dangerous, he's awesome, and for me always killer fun to listen to...Ladies and gentlemen, Luca Sestak. (the name revealed in the finest tradition of those ridiculous boxing ring announcers, Lucahhhhhhh Sessssstak). Then you could open with THIS piece, maybe transition into your "this is very fast" piece.

[@Supertank2015]
