Not what I was expecting, but it turned out really great! It reminds me of the background music I heard in the PBS kid's show "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood." It really made me feel, nostalgic.
Beautiful cover of this timeless classic, awesome arrangement and improvisation. Loved all the inner movement in the chording and great comping, Kudos ;-)
It would! I don't have easy access the studio where I use the grand piano. Maybe in the future I'll re-record my top arrangements on the grand. We'll see :)
Jonny May, love your style! Already hitting up my husband to buy me some of your sheet music. Keep on groovin and movin with your music your whole life long. I teach too!
Mr. May, Never, ever be concerned with any negative comments. Ignorance, arrogance and a complete lack of musical talent all make people say stupid things. You are an amazing talent. Thank you for the great music.
I really liked so much your vídeo, I've seen many people performing covers about other peices and I don't get impress very easly and I got really impressed about your perfomence in this cover, I hope I can as good as you playing Jazz someday! Congrats and keep playing so well Blessing!
Hiya, I'm a jazz pianist as well and I'm currently making my own arrangement of the song haha, and I stumbled upon your channel.. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Hi Jonny , I'm a big fan of your Jazz standard interpretations . I purchsed your 'swagtime' recently. It would be great to hear you do a rendition of 'That's Life' (Sinatra) someday!
Don't know why, but your treatment here on the opening part brings to mind Tommy Emanuel's gorgeous rendition on guitar on YT (if you haven't seen it give it a watch, you won't be sorry)...then you DEPART, radically, to parts unkown. Very nice. ;-)
I’m guessing you did not use any sheet music to learn this song this way. Is that right ? Is that even possible in your opinion or should I spent my time learning sheets? I feel like you are just following your heart somehow
Hi.... Wonderful masterpiece...!! Can I know what piano system are you using? Because I hardly can see a laptop on you shelf up you keyboard, I guess that the sound is a vts sound....?? Thanks in advance, you are the best....!!!
Thank you so much! that is a meaningful compliment. Keep up your practice and you'll catch up to me faster than you think :)
I thought it'd be like any other jazz version, but this one REALLY stands out.
love the baselines at about the minute mark and the timing is good , the runs , everything
Man beautiful playing, I love your interpretation on this, you added flavor without taking away the integrity of the piece
Instablaster.

Now you have the Tin Man, Lion, Scarecrow and Johnny for inspiration. Think of Munchkins dancing around to pick out the notes for you. 💕🤹🏽♀️
