It’s a great St. Louis listening room that features traditional musics! Very lucky to have it around! 31 Blues is the highlight of the set, I think! Thanks for checking it out!
È la prima volta che ti ascolto sei una cannonata.,..non so come definirti suoni il piano divinamente e proprio il genere di musica che piace👍👍👍👍💃💃💃👏👏👏👏
Great selections. I really feel like Jimmy Yancy’s compositions are some of the most original in the style. I used to have a cool book called Left Hand Like God that gave a lot of info on him. There’s a cool story where the Chicago White Six bought him a piano. Love your playing and would totally dig seeing you live. Come to Seattle!
Yancey's style is one-of-kind alright! And there's no person or style you can point to and say "this is where his sound comes from" Haven't done any playing in Seattle, but I'm regularly out in Port Townsend for the Acoustic Blues Workshop and Festival in August.
@@EthanLeinwandI also really dig the 2 recorded solos by Hersal Thomas. I'd love to hear your playing of them. If I hear of you coming to Pt. Townsend I'll roll out for damn sure
@@monto39 Thomas is a monster player. I love all his stuff with Sippie Wallace as well! Heres a video of me trying to do justice to his Suitcase Blues : ua-cam.com/video/Wh-9m3W-p8w/v-deo.html
The Memphis Blues - WC Handy - it is very interesting to me how much this sounds like ragtime much more so than the blues. But I have to consider the timeframe and context of when this tune was published by WC Handy. This style evolved into ragtime (Scott Joplin) if I am not mistaken. Or was it the other way around? In fact, I believe this tune came out during the ragtime era. The tune is called The Memphis Blues, but it sounds like ragtime to my untrained ear.
It is no surprise that The Memphis Blues sounds like ragtime to your ear! In fact, this tune was described on the sheet music as a "southern rag". The ragtime era is considered roughly 1897 - 1917. (Joplin published Maple Leaf Rag in 1899). WC Handy's Memphis Blues was one of the first pieces of published blues and came out in 1912, which is firmly in the ragtime era! One can certainly play Memphis Blues with a more "bluesy" feel...I often do.... but it's more likely that WC Handy conceived this piece with the 2-beat rhythm of ragtime.
I'd love it if you released this as an album. This is such great stuff.
Fantastic playing! And great interpretation of Tipitina
Thanks Stanley. Been a long time since I've posted a version of that tune
Amazing - very inspirational thank you

Thank you!! ❤️ grazie!
I wish I’d stuck to my piano lessons as a kid. Fantastic as usual. ❤
You're definitely not the first to say that to me ! But the truth is I quit piano lessons in 8th grade just like everybody else!
Terrific... thank you!
Great performance!
