*본 연주는 아티스트의 연주를 카피한것이 아닌 제가 피아니스트의 연주를 분석하고 편곡한 연주입니다
*This is not a real playing of themselves, I've made arrangements in their style.

jimin has hopped on the giant steps train and it's exactly what we needed

Here’s a little fun fact: Erroll Garner never learned how to read sheet music. When people asked him why, he replied that people pay him to play music, not to read sheet music

[Roxanneredpanda]

Oscar peterson playing giant steps is the most terrifying thing I've ever thought off

The Bill Evans version and Eroll Garner’s shows proof that even the craziest bop jazz is actually nothing but a beautiful ballad played at a very high tempo

Wait, does anyone else notice how amazing this is? This lovely lady is a true musical savant - she can see through the surface phenomena to the basic patterns underneath, and then she has command of an essentially limitless technique to realize her understanding. "Giant Steps" is a notoriously difficult piece to negotiate in any one style. As a minor aside, I am still waiting for a Tommy Flanagan lesson. But more to the point, J., please put out more videos of you swinging out with improvisations in your own style.

The amount of musical knowledge on display here is mind boggling!

[alphabeets]

I would say that any pianist that can accurately recreate these major pianist’s styles playing Giant Steps is ready for the big time. Very impressive.

What an extraordinary imposter! To perfectly inhabit multiple legendary artists like some Uber tribute artist is uncanny, but then to speculate how they would interpret signature works by other geniuses and deliver a convincing performance... Makes my brain seize up, but in a good way!

[jameswilliamson]

I love how she included the great Hazel Scott, well do jimin!!

[Scriabin_fan]

I really loved McCoy Tyner, Eroll Garner, and Bill Evans. But honestly I enjoyed listening to all of them.

[MartelMartin]

The fact you play all of these means you have to add an extra number to those legendary piano player

[bailahie]

Very convincing, still listening to it often, you grasp the spirit so well of these pianists, its uncanny...

[davidarmstrongcharles]

Wow. What an incredible demonstration! As someone who teaches a college course on the history of jazz and works as a professional keyboardist, I must say that the depths to which Jimindorothy must have gone to understand these different styles and execute them with such finesse is amazing.

[danielcabral]

The Errol Gardner version hit the bottom of my heart...

[maestro]

For the 53 years my playing career I don't think I've ever heard any one person display this type of artistry and simply beautiful playing I am absolutely in awe I will share this with all my friends and colleagues and I can actually say I've taken a little bit away from this video because it's just wonderfully to be able to see and dissect some of the things that I have only heard on audio recordings i'm so impressed I there's no words really so let's leave it at that call it the best ever that I've ever seen or heard because everyone of these players was blessed by the hand of God and for one person to be able to pull this off as beautifully as she did there are no words!

[Tsoyuzhu]

I love these annotations of techniques! they are so helpful to understanding what you are playing. thank you taking on board your viewers' comments and making videos :)

[iltromboncini]

This is absolutely wonderful! Almost as if each pianist found the lead sheet on his doormat one sunny morning. You make these legendary players come alive once more. Bravo!

[nateE]

Why did Youtube take SO long to suggest this video!
...I'm in love...

[KevinBrightman]

Great demonstration of the difference in styles. Was glad to hear Red Garland and Hazel Scott.
