She's terrific! Incredible performer!

I'm quite fond of Haochen Zhang as well. Impeccable articulation

Concert pianists eh? I tend more to the jazz piano players, but whatever.


This little guy can fucking play


Then of course the greats: Oscar Peterson, Count Bassie, Red Garland, Duke Ellington, and Jelly Roll Morton


but you guys like the concert pianists, I guess I'll have to study them.

There is a Chinese fella called Yundi as well, I'm pretty sure that he does some original stuff but I love his album of Schumann and Beethoven, he attempts the Grande Etudes as well but as I said before it just falls slightly short.

Robert Schumann done a piece called Er Und Sie, I used to have just a piano only version on CD somewhere but that went missing ages ago, the only versions I can find online now have singing over the top of the piano, as much as I love my classical shit I can't stand operatic vocals, I was lucky enough to learn how to play it before I lost it.

I like Brent midland tickling the ivories on bird song with the greatful dead

I love the piano, be it concert performances, jazz, or a good piano solo and arrangement in classic salsa.
Some of the piano giants from here are: Eddie Palmieri, Papo Lucca, Richie Ray, Larry Harlow.

I love the piano talk but I'm talking musical performances in general... can be anything!

I always loved SRV playing after he got off the drugs and got his head straight, shortly before his dead. My dad's from Texas and met SRV and saw him play many a time. So his records were always playing growing up!

Wonderful stuff!! The first number right off the bat was probably my favorite. There was one in there that reminded me of a movie, then I remembered.
"Under Siege"!

That's awesome. Shame I never had the pleasure of seeing him live, he died way too soon. Dad saw him a lot during the Couldn't Stand the Weather era where he'd open with Scuttle Buttin and it'd be insanity from there.

There's something special about those great guitar master/singers through history, Jimi, Clapton, etc.
