  • The fantastic keyboard artist Tommy Johnson throws some Stride Piano in as he plays his arrangement of St. Louis Blues. He was inspired to do this number after hearing a couple of his favorite artists: Jeff Barnhart and Stephanie Trick! Tommy would love for you to check these two fabulous artists out as well.

    Stride is my favorite--St. Louis Blues is my favorite--Tommy is my favorite. All this adds up to the most FANTASTIC listening ever. Your playing of ANY song brings absolute joy to my heart and a tear to my eye. THANK YOU SO MUCH for allowing us to hear your remarkable talent. You are just as much fun to watch as to listen to--you really FEEL the music and it looks like you have so much fun doing so.

    How I am happy : the extraordinary Tommy Johnson is back.
    Thank you for sharing your performances and your talent. It is the best Christmas present possible. Thanks to you and other youtube's artists, I have begun the piano and particularly the boogie-woogie.
    Thank you very much and good holidays my dear virtual professor.

    Heard a lot of Jeff live when I was living in Cumbria. I prefer a more down home rhythm for blues piano myself but this is very listenable. Never heard of Tommy before. Stride is onje style. Just think I'lll check him out on boogie.

  • @OldEMGStrat
    @OldEMGStrat 9 років тому +2

    Mathematically it is easier for me to understand Tommy's skills than Luca Sesak's.
    Tommy has had a few years to hone his totally massive skills...I just can't imagine how anyone can play like Luca at such an early age...but then again I believe that a soul never loses these crafts and may come back in different manifestations to play to different audiences...I don't know how to explain the level of talent both these men have

    I love how you incorporate stride movement into your blues. My Dad taught me basic stride when he got me hooked on reading his sheet music collection (1900-1950s). Now, years later, I'm trying to learn the blues. You are my role model! Thank you for your recordings here on UA-cam where I can see how your fingers move. What a treat to see and hear you play. All the best to you.

    @treeoflyfeessentials72 3 роки тому +2

    Amazing! You can here the entire trio. Some of his licks in the top octaves sound like back up vocals as well within the arrangement which was beautiful. Love how he plays the upright bass part in the left hand and holds down the rhythm section & the melody with the right. Thats tough to do! That last series of licks right before the final walk down at the end is incredible! Especially that lick he played over the diminished chord in that sequence. Respect!
