Oh, one of my favorite pianist, thanks a lot. Bram is one of the best in this style with his amazing left hand. Even among the best stride pianists he is unique with his technique. And beside of stride he plays Garner-like left hands fantastic :) And he is a very nice guy too.

This is awsome. I work with Bram on pianos sometimes. The guy is a multi talented genius. Hes also a master at the accordion, bass, and also piano technician skills. Thanks for this!!

I loved it! Thnx Bram. Erik from Bussum.

Brilliant. I laughed at 1:02 at the quote of Mozart's Turkish Rondo. It's in the same key too

[jonburton]

Really great stuff…. There’s so much Oscar in his playing. This stuff is super difficult if you struggle with large intervals in the left hand

[PiotrBarcz]

God, you've done all of my favorite performances I swear! This one is fantastic! Those damn tenths are epic xD

Yasss, that's my teacher!! And I absolutely love this clip! It was filmed for one of the Kansas TV stations in the 1990s (I think?)

Walking bass needs plaster for its blisters 🔥

[mjcs]

Sounds like he's channeling Art Tatum

I can do the left hand and I can do the right hand, but not at the same time 😂

Amazing playing and transcription! Is the score available to purchase? I can't find anything on your website

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the tune he’s playing over is Rosetta.

[AzlanValentine]

Oscar swings harder with just his foot. Bram isn’t necessarily swinging he plays more classic stride/strut feel. His rhythmic accuracy isn’t strong and relaxed enough to really swing. Still a g though.

if you think this guy "swings harder than anyone", i am begging you to listen to james p. johnson. or monk. or bud powell. or anyone else. <3
