Hollywood Style Piano, 'Night and Day', Piano Tutorial

An example of Hollywood Style piano (cocktail piano) as played in the movie "Now Voyager" 1942, starring Bette Davis, Paul Hendreid, Claude Raines. Cocktail piano music as played in the glamorous nightclubs of Hollywood and New York in the 1940's.
Includes an analysis of the stylistic features of this elegant manner of piano playing. Remember: giving me a thumbs up is motivation that I'm doing okay.

Soon as you started playing Night and Day it easily became one of the nicest things I've ever heard. I Will definitely implement this in my own playing.

Wow! Very very nice. You are the first one that i can see complete one song before teaching. yes, with this I can know that you are really can teach, otherwise i will say that some teacher teaching without completing one song first to let student look and to know the teacher abilities, so the student will not go on wasting time to watch and never come back again. thank you so much Kent Hewitt. you are nice.

Wow, I'm very impressed. Not just with your clear skill but your ability to wonderfully describe and articulate the true art of piano (or at least the art of 40s style piano). You clearly have a grasp for the art of piano, I hope to achieve what you have someday. In the meantime I'll do my best to learn from you, keep posting and I'll do my best to keep up. Thanks for a wonderful video!

Thanks for this nice instructive video, Kent! As an advanced classical pianist I found your video much more helpful than most other tutorials because you are being very clear while staying on a nice pace, instead of explaining your every move. It is good to see that you have great technique and that it seems that you actually know what you're talking about. :p Thanks for the insights!

[magnuskristensen]

You're really a great help for me. Thanks a lot for excellent lessons!

[vggoybj]

Man..what can I say...You sound soooo sweet ! You thanking me for watching ? I should thank YOU !

[johnnymisbegotten]

Wooaaa Kent, I thought I tuned into the Liberace channel hearing all those lush runs and embellishments. I was looking for the candelabra and the adoring grandmothers in the audience ; ) As always, we appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

These videos are so good, who needs movies? Get the popcorn in and invite your friends around, even the non-musicians.

[Bookssful]

I am studying it right now. Great video, thanks!!!

[daveadams]

Loss for words here Kent! Really enjoyed your playing in this style, just great man. Will try and take your use of octaves in the right hand melody and try to incorporate them into my own playing. Thank you for posting such great videos.
