There needs to be way more videos of Bill's solo playing on youtube!

[@fabioreal3353]

I saw Bill at Village Vanguard, by the first time. I've got amazed. Bought all his recordings. Great pianist, indeed.

[@stuartdryer1352]

My favorite living jazz piano player -- along with his wife. I wonder what it is like to be that liberated from any technical limitations?

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

one of my recent instructors, who helped me find excercises and a practice routine to suit my level and needs, fantastic organist/ pianist, Jean Yves Jung, told me my playing reminded him of Bill Charlap's. I didnt know Charlap's playing at the time; didn't realize what a great compliment he had given me. "merci beaucoup, mon professeur tres utile"

[@jimdixon3470]

Charlap is easy to overlook or take for granted because obviously he's travelling down a very well-trod path and competing directly with about 60 years of tradition (if you take the Evans/Lafaro/Motian trio as the starting point of post-bebop/post-1950s trio playing). But his trio with Peter Washington and Kenny Washington, imho, will be a touchstone for future generations of jazz fans and players. I'd happily live without 10-15 of the post-humous Bill Evans CDs, or without a few of the Jarrett standards trio CDs, if I could just get a couple of more well-recorded live sessions from the Charlap trio.

You have an extreme sense of harmony. A part of your soul!

[@Mrphilharmonic]

Bill, you have the greatest touch - but then, I've told you that already!

[@MaggieBritton123]

Fascinating to hear background, Bill Charlap is definitely genetically blessed.

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Bravo! Well played, Bill!

[@rhythmfield]

one of the best! What's not to love? BC is great.

[@Mrphilharmonic]

4'50" WOW! WHAT the HECK is that run???? BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@evertdude]

something small contrapuntal, with both hands and then a descending run, sounds really great

[@carlodalpiaz7955]

Amazing

[@nedrodgers4665]

I'd be fascinated to know what his home life is like, being married to Renee Rosnes. That must be a beautiful musical household.

[@michaelchapman4955]

I had no idea... as I Luv Renee Rosnes playing...... I grew up in LA & spent decades frequenting LA piano bars & Jazz supper clubs all over LA & LA's SFV & LA had many back in the day

[@Mrphilharmonic]

What an AMAZING vid. Thanks SO MUCH for posting! Words of wisdom that EVERY pianist can benefit from.

[@Mrphilharmonic]

"The Nearness of You" (8'02") - beauooooootiful!

[@RonCarterBassist]

Bill is great with Tony Bennett - plenty on KZbin.

[@michaelchapman4955]

[@ozibru]

Does somebody knows the song at 2:40?

[@valeriekuhn3746]

It is Laura. Famous movie with Gene Tierney a Dana Andrews, directed by Otto Preminger, I think. This was the film's theme. Gorgeous, isn't it?

[@ozibru]

Valerie Kuhn OMG thank you for taking the time to answer this. It is indeed a beautiful song. Thanks again :)

[@redinhodaflauta1269]

Music: David Raksin. Lyrics: Johnny Mercer. Geniuses both!

[@danielscheff7384]

If you like vocals, The Singers Unlimited recorded it with Rob McConnell's big band. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHPSm5SgjLl8mqs
