Emily Bear piano - 'Emily' (Johnny Mandel cover)

"Emily" was one of the first jazz tunes I ever learned when I was 6 and I've been in love with Johnny Mandel's music ever since... one of my biggest inspirations. RIP to one of the absolute greats xo (fun fact: my 1st jazz teacher loved to say "Emily, play Emily")

Two of my favorite jazz piano heroes played this song, Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans. Emily, your version touched my soul and has become my favorite piano version. 🎹🎼🔥❤

Emily Bear solo piano version of "Emily" by Johnny Mandel is like the gentle sun that appears after a sweet, but heavy rain. I wonder if Mr. Mandel knows this version played by the talented Emily Bear. I still hope that some day, when time and the world re-opens its doors, she will make an appearance in any city in the world, which she loves the most. Big Kiss, my daughter, Emily.

Emily; you are so very blessed with the ability to make a piano speak in ways that you just don't hear anymore. I have been following you since you were playing Flight of the Bumble Bee at like 5 years old...and you weren't even looking at the piano...I was like..OMG! You are a beautiful gift from God. You have been exposed to the most amazing teachers and influential music moguls and shakers in our industry. Thank you for sharing and I hope one day, I can play and perform as amazingly as you do! Happy 4th of July to you and your family. Stay safe, health and socially distant!
Long live Johnny Mandel!
