The big news this week in the music industry is NAMM 2012 (National Association of Music Merchants). This awesome trade show was held in Southern California last weekend and I got to be there for three days. There was a lot of new technology in the keyboards department, but I usually enjoy impromptu demos with great piano players. So I collected some awesome videos that features some amazing piano players on some beautiful pianos. Sit back and enjoy the show!
We’ll start off with a special appearance with Cori Jacobs playing a Fazioli piano. He’s an awesome pianist that shows some of his great chops at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8EVuWu1gG4.
Next up is Eric Levy on a Mason & Hamlin piano. Levy is plays through one of my favorite jazz songs, Birdland, in a whole new way. Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnaG3OaLKww&feature=related.
Glen Stewart astounds his audience with a killer rendition of the jazz classic, Giant Steps, in this next video. Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W12bWMKsg_M&feature=related.
The last video I will give you features Kenneth Crouch on a Mason & Hamlin piano. Crouch plays a great version of the Thelonious Monk tune, ‘Round Midnight. See it here at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdixE6nMGgo&feature=related.
These were just a few of the amazing piano performances at NAMM 2012. I hope you enjoyed watching and listening to the videos, because I had a great time putting them together for you.
Thanks!
