You have no idea how much joy you've brought to me watching/hearing this. You convey every single arrangement with so much passion. It is just beautiful! Thank you!
Thought Lang Lang was the best Pianist I have ever seen played until I saw you play. You are like an engine. The piano sound, everything is perfect. I have a piano mentor at last

#11's Bb Major variation was just grand! The famous quotes on the video monitor was a neat affect, as was your creative expression and choice of outfit. Amen to the very first quote, especially!
It's a little crazy, but you had cought me deep enough, that I jump out the chair, at the end and yes I do, I clapp my hands. this simpley is outstanding.
Well Done!!! I wanted to support you, so I downloaded your sheet music. Simply brilliant accomplishment. I'm convinced it has spawned some folks to explore these composers further, jazz, classical, whatever. Just music. Thanks for what you do.
Man you are sooooo amazing!! I hope people don't wait for 25 years after you are dead to recognize you!!! I wish you all the peace and love in the world!

Monti you are very close! Great job.... the last one is definitely the hardest. And what ray Charles song is it based on? There is no melodic reference but the tempo, rhythm and opening chord progression are the hints.
Jacob Koller / The Mad Arranger Naw, I just study a lot, watch a lot of movies, and have read a lot of things. I'm still pretty average. 😁 Also, I think a lot of those quotes are pretty well known. But that could be just me, too.
As a sax player I probably don’t know any of the other composers, but the third one sounded like Take the A Train, the eleventh like Rhapsody in Blue, and the twelfth, one of my favorite Jazz pieces of all time, Spain by Chick Corea!
i looked up the quotes so don't look under the read more unless you wanna be spoilt this doesn't have the songs it's just the guys 1. Johann Sebastian Bach 2. Claude Debussy 3. Duke Ellington 4.

Would playing a piano in hell be hell? What if all the keys changed notes randomly, and/or the pedals, or the fallboard/keylid just randomly smashed down. Thought the comment on the screen was funny, and my brain just started expanding....sorry. ;-) Love your arrangements!
MrFahrenheit6 good guess but not correct. There is a subtle hint at the melody on the beginning of the last unison rif. And the vibe of that whole rif at the end

This is the second time I watched the video. Now I realized why I inexplicably wanted KFC after watching it the first time. Man, the subconscious mind really does notice everything.
I thought I was a pretty good Pianist who can improvise almost anything. YEs indeed!...but Then, YOU had to appear in youtube...and....sigh... my big ego was crushed beyond repair. anyway thanks a lot buddy. You really know how to make me feel like a lousy pianist now.
EMPIRE ENTERTAINMENT & EVENTS sorry about that. But remember we all have something different to offer musically because we all have completely different experiences. So keep up with what you do and rememberer only you can improvise like you do. It might sound cheesy but I'm completely serious.

Thanks. It was an experiment but it was fun so I'll probably do more.
Superb Jacob
私はコーラーさんが、どれほど有名な人なのかは知りませんが、ハッキリ言えるのはコーラーさんが弾くピアノは聴いてて、とても心地よいです。

Monti you are very close! Great job.... the last one is definitely the hardest. And what ray Charles song is it based on? There is no melodic reference but the tempo, rhythm and opening chord progression are the hints.
Monti I think number 6 is leaning more towards to Bill's style
the twelve is chick korea spain?
Monti I thought so too!
Is Unchain my heart the piece by Ray Charles?
Is the last one based on Chick Corea?
Гений!
You are genius, Sir. Last time I seen somebody created such godly mixtures, it was Pletnev Mihail
bodyguardik thank you so much!
What's crazy is that I knew most of them who based on just the quotes; before you even played a note! LOL! Fun video. :)
That's awesome. You must really know your stuff!
Jacob Koller / The Mad Arranger Naw, I just study a lot, watch a lot of movies, and have read a lot of things. I'm still pretty average. 😁 Also, I think a lot of those quotes are pretty well known. But that could be just me, too.
Amen
As a sax player I probably don’t know any of the other composers, but the third one sounded like Take the A Train, the eleventh like Rhapsody in Blue, and the twelfth, one of my favorite Jazz pieces of all time, Spain by Chick Corea!
Joshua Fernandez you nailed those three! Most people struggled with a train and Spain so way to go!
それぞれ全てフルで聴きたい！！
6番はJacob Kollerさん
のような気がする。
はるのそら コメントありがとうございます😊僕じゃないけどそのピアニストに影響いっぱい受けた。
Jacob Koller / The Mad Arranger
うれしい。間違っちゃったけど。
そういえば、私は、あまりピアニストの方々を知らない。。。
いろんな方々のピアノを聴きに巡って、またここに戻ってきます。
うーむ、やはりわからない。
いろんな方々のピアノ聴きに回って、わかったことがある。私はジェイコブコーラーさんのピアノが一番いい。
ってことだ。
心に響いてくる。
英語の勉強しないとなぁ〜

Would playing a piano in hell be hell? What if all the keys changed notes randomly, and/or the pedals, or the fallboard/keylid just randomly smashed down. Thought the comment on the screen was funny, and my brain just started expanding....sorry. ;-) Love your arrangements!
No. 7 and No. 9 are so easy
Ok, you are definetly crazy. I'l stay. :-))
I think I am.
#4 reminded me of Professor Longhair.
Nice.
But it was accidental, right? (everybody else got Herbie)
I feel like 12 is Jacob Koller? It sorta sounded like your O Christmas Tree Rendition.
MrFahrenheit6 good guess but not correct. There is a subtle hint at the melody on the beginning of the last unison rif. And the vibe of that whole rif at the end
MrFahrenheit6 the 12 is Spain by chick corea
Sly yes sir!
Has anyone noticed that the screen at the right is showing quotes from the pianists he is imitating?
Royce van Beethoven those are hints. There also some pretty cool quotes I think.
pls make more vids like this
Timothy Choi ok

This is the second time I watched the video. Now I realized why I inexplicably wanted KFC after watching it the first time. Man, the subconscious mind really does notice everything.
I thought I was a pretty good Pianist who can improvise almost anything. YEs indeed!...but Then, YOU had to appear in youtube...and....sigh... my big ego was crushed beyond repair. anyway thanks a lot buddy. You really know how to make me feel like a lousy pianist now.
EMPIRE ENTERTAINMENT & EVENTS sorry about that. But remember we all have something different to offer musically because we all have completely different experiences. So keep up with what you do and rememberer only you can improvise like you do. It might sound cheesy but I'm completely serious.
JACOB, thank you for your encouraging words. I will continue to be inspired by you. Thank you!!
Ab Major - Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin
shaun strudwick you are right!
i love you!! T_T
y do u hav so many pencils
Timothy Choi I hate not having a pencil when I need it so I keep a bunch.
Jacob Koller / The Mad Arranger OIC. I only have 2
7. Chopin Black Keys etude
9. Scott Joplin Maple Leaf Rag
Chopin is correct but it's a different etude.
Jacob Koller / The Mad Arranger Yeahh, it's "black key" etude haha
You have hit the jackpot!
Magnitude!
Please, give us a sheet.Or twelve...
AmtmannAusTirol thanks for the comment. First variation is free on my website. The whole score is $5. Sorry I gotta pay the bills somehow...
Jacob Koller / The Mad Arranger metoo, but sadly I lack of publications.Bought two of your books, and I like them much.I‘m busy with the stuff.
Is #6 Jacob Collier?
Dissonant Harmony good try but no. The opening 4 chords are the main hint to this one and the fact that it's in 3/4.
Dissonant Harmony good guess but no. First four bars are the hint and the time signature.
I think #6 that nobody is getting is Vince Guaraldi! There you have it, what do I win? Free music sheet? :-)
noneoftheaboveist you aren’t correct. It’s actually Bill Evans Waltz for debby
No. 12 is your personal flavour, isn't it?
DerGagonaut no I promise their is a pianist and song it's based on but it's not so obvious. The last unison line is the main hint.
It definitly has some Piazolla in it, but that isn't a famous Pianist :D
Jacob Koller / The Mad Arranger is it Spain by chick corea?
