At this point in time I forget about everybody who plays the piano lately...you know ....and concentrate on the best of the best in the whole wide world.
Great thread by the way.
Teddy Wilson plays 'Satin Doll' (Ellington/Strayhorn)
Please let me turn you on to another piano player. He's a youtube player, Italian, does covers and remakes of almost everything! I'm amazed at his talent...
Elton is good, but he's no Billy. He's pop. I've been to 4 BJ vs EJ piano concerts, and it's no contest. It's BJ every time. He has great songs, but he's nowhere near billy joel in piano talent. Not even close.
friggin amazing fast, that's not fair... I play it normal fast, but nowhere near that. Never saw that video before. Fucking amazing, and I know I posted it! Here's my slow take...
