Awesome. You play that one really well.

The music and the interpretation, both masterpiece!

Perfect...

Absolutely gorgeous. Easily the most faithful and sensitive reproduction of Yancey's original on UA-cam. It captures the pain and beauty of the blues as played by those barrelhouse pianists of the 20s.

I am a self-opinionated expert on Yancey---LOL ---- but Westcott could be mistaken for Jimmy at the piano. Never heard such a pianist --- he's brilliant!!!!!!!
