Olly Stevenson Jazz Piano
United Kingdom
Приєднався 12 лют 2012
Hello and welcome to my channel! I'm Olly, a jazz pianist and teacher from Sevenoaks in Kent, UK. This channel is dedicated to sharing my lifelong passion of music, and especially jazz piano. I aim to upload new content regularly - both my own performances for your enjoyment and tutorials on different concepts of jazz piano.
I began playing the piano when I was about 15, and then become interested in blues piano when I was 18. I loved improvising and so it was natural to then get into jazz piano. I've learned most of what I know from listening to pianists such as Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Mccoy Tyner, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and Thelonious Monk, and from jazz theory books - there is always more to learn with music!

Avril 14th Aphex Twin Piano (Four Lions Soundtrack)
Переглядів 969Рік тому
My interpretation of this piano piece written by Aphex Twin. I first heard this during the ending of the film Four Lions, a British dark comedy which I'd highly recommend. I've added a short improvised intro and ending but kept the main theme virtually identical to the original, although played with less strict timing. Please leave a comment/like if you enjoyed the video, and thanks as always f...

Still dope! Man, I wish I had this man’s talent…
Bossa nova blues! Love it.
awesome! can you do a piano tutorial on how to play this?
Every couple months I come back and rewatch this. still love this video!
Thanks!
love the squirrel, pls include him in every video
wanted to like this video, but me a couple years ago already did apparently, rightfully so
I love your style!!! And you reaally got me on shore...of Cantaloupe Island.
Thank you so much Ollie. I'm getting really a lot out of this. Can you do a similar run-through of rhythm changes?
I think the backing rhythm track is from the Drum Genius app: Brazilian Bossa#2
Beautiful playing Olly!!!
Thanks a lot. One of my favorite UA-cam Latin songs. It looks so easy to,play. But I‘m aware that it is not. Great improvisation.
hi i got your tutorial helpful so can you do the song flipside - Norah jones
That fright-bright white background is trying to kill any joy that I had left in my life when clicking this link. We're all in Dark Mode these daze, and bright white backgrounds are mood destabilizers! Maybe instead scroll some 1960s Upper West Side NYC black & white video scenes on your fright-bright wall, and for goodness sakes, maybe wear a hat like Monk did, and sweat a little, and get some more spunk in your bass stride; I do like the trills, very Thelonious-like, especially at the end. Do some more "in the style of" Monk, I believe that some of his best piano solos were songs by others, songs like "Satin Doll" and "Don't Blame Me" you need to create an entire Monk-Like Playlist! Maybe also do Erik Satie. Can you play Ravel in G? _Then I'll subscribe!_ 🎶 - j q t -
hi olly how would u use this method on autumn leaves when there isnt a chord written for the melody note ? THANKS FOR THE VID !!!!
Just found your channel and I really enjoyed your playing. Similar to how I play but your chops have so much variety. It’s really cool!
Superbe
This kind leson you giving are so beauty solo thank you
1:17
Nice quote from Chick's original at 1:44. I've had it on my todo list to transcribe this phrase for years because it sounds amazing!
Fantastic!
1:24
Perfect video. Thanks!
What model piano are you using here? Very responsive.
Amazing!! i love how it sounds on c minor
Excelente thank you
This is easy to follow. Thanks!
Thanks - I LOVE "Blue Bossa"!
Brilliant clear talkthrough thanks !
great!!!!
Do you have a score?
This is incredibly useful! Thanks so much!!!
The bossanova drum background is a little too high in my opinion.
Nice rendition. Really enjoyed the pianist’s playing!
Fabulous sound . It’s all about the inversions . I tend to play all root position. Good education
Despite the awkward camera angle, this is an wonderful tutorial...and your Blue in Green tutorial truly catapulted my playing forward. THANK YOU Olly!
Thank you,Olly⭐🌹⭐
Very good playing. Corea would be proud 👏🏿
Very beautiful! We see that you really internalized the song and can play freely with it. I am curious if it's all improvised or if you wrote an arragement for it? Also, did you first learn the Bill Evans transcription in order to know the song better and learn new ideas?
Love this tune
You just amaze me!
super awesome class love it.thank you so much
Absolutely love this! Would you consider a tutorial? :)
cool arrangement. Monster left hand. Good hand independence. Tasty improv.
Thank Olly for these great lesson ! 😊 Number one for a beginner !
I'm so glad we have these on UA-cam to listen to over and over! Your jazz is just awesome!
Thanks for sharing Olly! Love the style ! Could you make a tutorial for us in this direction? There's not much good material on jazz funk grooves on youtube unfortunately
nice flow
Do you have a piano score sheet for this? 😢❤
Hi Mel, I'm afraid not as it's improvised
Thank you, Ollie, you are a great teacher. Your patience and ability to simplify things is such an encouragement. As soon as I manage to play this fantastic tune with ease, I can hardly wait to see what you have for us in the improv video. Thank you again, Ollie. Ivan - Brisbane Australia PS. Perhaps you may find the time to come and perform for us at the Brisbane Jazz Club someday.
Thank you Ivan!
