Thank you. Hearing my dad in this....

This man can bring a year to your eye

[@kenzomatic8151]

Maybe even a whole decade

[@scotnick59]

Just beautiful.

[@PiotrBarcz]

How did you get that strumming sound so cleanly? Just pressing down the keys soft enough without hitting the strings with the hammers? I tried to pull this off myself, barely works on an upright and on the grand I couldn't get the same clean sound.

[@freehat6894]

lol wow you are hella good bro

[@pabloa2228]

Are you strumming the chords 🤯

[@PiotrBarcz]

I just realized xD Sounds great too!

[@davebrowningjazzharlemstri4469]

Erroll lives!! Brilliant playing.

[@swingbram]

Thank you!!! Nice to hear.

[@swingbram]

Thank you. And yes, Erroll is the man...

[@KirbySweg]

Hello Bram, after watching you and countless others of musicians such as erroll I’ve been inspired to start playing. But I don’t really know where to start, I know all the basic chords and notes, and have played classical pieces in the past. Could you please help me out a bit with any tips because I have no clue on how to start playing jazz. Thank you for posting these videos!

[@itsRemco]

To start with jazz, chords progressions are key Next to that, you have to listen to Ragtime/Stride Piano and bebop in order to understand the available jazz piano techniques

[@KirbySweg]

exoticpianoman woah I watch ur channel lol didn’t expect to find you lurking here haha

[@itsRemco]

@@KirbySweg Oh 😂 yeah I was curious to how many people play Erroll Garner's renditions Guess I'll continue with his renditions like Penthouse Serenade 😶 I'm also planning on uploading Lofi Hiphop piano tutorials in a couple of months but shh 🤫😂

[@KirbySweg]

exoticpianoman HELL YEA, have you seen this dude’s tea for two, he’s a great player

[@itsRemco]

@@KirbySweg Yeah he's good hahah

[@austntexan]

Love this song. You know they used this in an episode of The Orville (science fiction show)? I think McFarland is an Errol Garner fan. I have to say, your Tea for Two is like a painting. Do you ever tour the SE coast?

[@swingbram]

Such a nice compliment!! Thank you. Haven't toured the SE coast much at all. Hopefully soon. I do have some friends out there....

[@afpseb4582]

[@DORAEMONG0]

Awwww I like it 💖

[@maurizioghezzer4302]

Aaaahhhh bellissimo !!! Ne hai altri in stile Garner? Bravissimo 😊👍

[@alanmeadows1074]

Bram always sounds good

[@АртурАксенович-д8ч]

Что с роялем, такое впечатление, что подглушен.

[@dylanmorgan7900]

genius

[@jmcamue]

Indeed. Just like the one and only Errol Garner!!

[@juniperwoodgreen4090]

I Doo Doo...

[@LaRoche_]

Vous l'avez dans les doigts ❤️

[@freehat6894]

this guy aint fucking around

[@PiotrBarcz]

Damn right!

[@PiotrBarcz]

This is such a cool tune! I wish that someone recorded this with a hand held sound recorder, would've been nice to hear this with at least semi studio quality audio ;)

[@swingbram]

This was actually recorded with a very expensive camera. However, it's just bass and piano so don't expect to hear any drums (cymbals) in the high treble because there isn't any.....

[@PiotrBarcz]

@@swingbram Interesting! What kind of camera was it? It captured the bass quite well, I suspect the microphone was typical quality, I have a rather high end camcorder with an average mic, the video is where it's at ;) An honor to get a reply from you by the way, I'm a huge fan of your playing!

[@swingbram]

@@PiotrBarcz I would need to ask the bass player. It was his camera he used to record with. I remember it was like a $2000 camera or so...

[@PiotrBarcz]

@@swingbram Wow! That is expensive!

[@LarryOdham]

This is it. Right here. Thank you swingbram ☺

[@Challenger361]

One of the top songs of Erroll! Bram - I wish I could play it so effortlessly! What I think after all the videos that I have seen: You come as close to Erroll as nobody else! Wonderful! I hear this all the time!

[@juniperwoodgreen4090]

Nah sorry but left hand strumming technique comes nowhere near as close as Erroll's. This boy is just his kind of the present best at being himself under of course the influence/s of... Lol...

[@PiotrBarcz]

@@juniperwoodgreen4090 What strumming technique, I dunno about you but it sounds pretty damn close xD Then again, NOBODY has done the REAL strumming on a piano before as far as I know!

[@牧田ちよじ]

とても　素敵ですね😀🎶

[@prolixsicklicks]

Swingin hard and great language and feel! Lovely rendition my man.
