Unholy carp, that's wild! That person is crazy great, to be able to play a famous piece convincingly in others' styles is...just jaw-dropping.

Yeah, Oscar Peterson himself is wild:

Exactly. And thanks for reminding me, I was listening to an old podcast the other day of Rachel Portman (score composer), and it was mentioned that she's working on a solo album, and now that album is a thing of the past, so I can listen to it now. Spoiler alert: it's pretty nostalgic sounding, would fit right in with Joe Hisaishi's work:

"Irony" Silly

I was wondering what album that video was about, it keeps popping up on my recommended videos, but I never watch it. Thanks for lettin' me know. Me: my friend Grace released her EP after months of hype...and it's really great! Instrumental metal: I miss that feeling of nostalgia...

Normal-sized manatees looking like sweet potatoes while eating sweet potatoes.

Yup…or that “Dems can be prone to bias, too”.

I just found it amusing that that video was brought to you by Fox News.

Happy birthday, Pete formerly known as Digi-! (party favour noise)

Agreed on both counts. He plays nice, too. Really enjoyed the music.

Listening to some delicious Fender Rhodes by Marcin Grachowina: https://jazzijazzful.bandcamp.com/track/sad-frog

Listened to a wide variety of Chopin's Preludes. Got a little...uh...feverish...towards the late afternoon.

Alice Sara Ott, Echoes of Life -- largely Chopin's 24 Preludes, Op. 28, interspersed here and there with other short pieces. That album cover hurts my eyes, though. EDIT: Oh, wow, she (Ott) wrote a piece on this one, albeit based on fragments of Mozart's Lacrimosa.

Stumbled across another option for you (potentially -- I don't know all your requirements): Roland Rubix 44 or 22.

More Hiromi -- dang I love (and low-key miss) her use of synthesizers:

Happy birthday, Todd! I hope you have a superblime day. (party favour noise)

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Hiromi Uehara, Spectrum solo jazz piano, I forgot how great this one in particular is. E.G., This is just so insanely great! I should also mention that it appears her entire back catalog (including personal favourites, Time Control, Brain, &c.) has been uploaded to streaming platforms Tidal and Spotify, so...yay!

Yeah, that's all I ask any more, I don't have a favourite of anything any more (other than maybe for Schubert's 2nd Piano Trio), so just ask after worthy performances. Thanks, will give it a listen!

Particularly good? Those are two of my favourite violin concertos (with the Mendelssohn), so I already have several favourite performances, won't bother unless you say it's worth listening. Me: Susumu Hirasawa's Beacon, first release in several years! https://digital.susumuhirasawa.com/album/beacon

RIP Dusty Hill

Happy birthday, amigo! (party favour noise)
