Great Work
Please keep doing these and thank you so much. I think this is definitely not for beginners but even a novice can appreciate the ideas in these nuggets.
Fun, basic jazz piano tips
Raw production values (he holds his own camera much of the time!); high energy advanced piano instruction. Martin obviously knows what he's doing and loves jazz piano. This show is surprisingly compelling. Highly recommended.
