i finally got around to recording myself at my solo gig in tokyo with my little "point'n'shoot". some of my playing here is a bit sloppy, but hey, only us piano players will notice, right? i even learned a few things by watching my own videos.  
any of you coming to japan? come by the cerulean tower top floor lounge (very earthquake-proof building, by the way) some sat. or sun. and introduce yourself.

lovely music. i was playing in nagoya last year - but sadly nothing like that !
lucky audience in tokyo! congratulation on your wonderful skill and style! i think i hear some influence of oscar peterson and even of teddy wilson, which can't be a bad thing, though there's much more there too. i enjoyed hearing these very much. now i shall leave you to squeeze in another hundred hours' practice, which i need evidently.
great playing. learning from others is what this site is about, and there is a wealth of material to study in these videos.

i keep coming back to these videos - lovely playing.
if you ever happen to be playing again and there's a video recorder around .... :)
