Big fan of Charles and Nahre….this was a little more in Charles lane. This was a tough backing track. I’m going to attempt this myself after the video..I actually attach a midi keyboard right to my iPad and play along with video…very convenient for this..I am using ravenscroft for sound. Sanga was so charming I see her thumbnails and I have watched a couple of videos but I was very impressed with her personality and strategy..I will be watching more of her in the future.

Tbh I liked hers the least. She was very infront of the beat which I didn‘t feel at all. Also for me there was no real meat if you will. A lot of pentatonic playing that sounded a bit like searching if it fits instead if knowing. In contrast when Aimee Nolte plays if feels so secure and in control of every aspect of the playing.

Something interesting that I found watching this is that each musician plays and approaches the instrument and their improvisational solo exactly the way they speak and deliver their information as individuals. I think this goes to show how much a person really puts of their soul into their craft

Writing as I listen. Charles: dig it. It's slow, classy, feels like I should be having a nice glass of wine and chilling with people I like. Nahre: Some good, interesting, melodic and rhythmic ideas. I re-listened a couple times to fully appreciate it. It's different in a good way. Jeff: Smooth, simple, but effective and befitting of the track. Aimee: slow touch in the beginning, but with a nice build in dynamics and speed. follows the chord changes well. Sangah: You can sense her confident, fun, quirky personality through her playing and that's a GOOD thing. Her solo takes you on a mini journey for sure! David: Kind of feels like something I'd hear in an anime lol, which is good to me. Well done everyone!

Oddly I feel like Nahre's felt like a guitar solo, melodically speaking. Something about the phrasing and melody shape felt oddly reminiscent of first solos, in an odd but satisfying way.

Impressive how Charles, Jeff, Aimee, Sangah managed to put so much emotion into their improvisation whilst also sounding very different from each other. Also, props to Nareh who used to say that she's only trained as a classical pianist and not comfortable at all doing any kind of improvisation, she's come a long way.

Wow; I guess we should all be as “uncomfortable with any kind of improvisation” as Nahre now shows that she is here. And the mad contrast ‘tween Sangah’s rabid-dog version and David’s oh-so-chill one was kinda fun!

Sangah's playing always makes me smile.

Sangah Noona improv was wonderful: she’s really a great pianist and the improv queen! 🎶👸🏻 👏👏👏🔝Love however all improvisations: many talented pianists here! Charle’s improv was so beautiful 👏👏👏

Nahre used a romantic motif and Jeff's melody is something else, it's like the higher part is made for a string instrument or vocals.

Jeff's phrasing and time feel is superb! Also all of melodic ideas just fit so well. Loved his Am-run! Definitely my favourite! But also a big compliment to Nahre. I've been following you for years. You've developed such a great improvisation talent over time!

I swear, I never thought I'd sub to a piano channel based on a solo, but Sangah's solo did it. Killer. Yours was perhaps the best one David, loved how much you were able to do without sounding too over the top. Amazing.

Each improviser’s stellar ability to create unique and original musical ideas is ohmazing. However, Sangah’s interesting rhythmic pattern and style effectively fits the backing tracks chord progressions that engages and captivates listeners. My two cents.👍😍

charles'es playing was truly stunning.

What an incredible KZread star studded lineup! I'm familiar with all of them and I was made pretty excited when Sangah Noona said that you'd be premiering this today! I guessed pretty accurately who was going to be on the lineup! Awesome work! I'd love to see more of these!

Sangah Force Boom!

It's fascinating, as my musical ability has increased over my 31 years, I believe I would have fancied Jeff's solo above all; but now I'm very much satisfied in the simplicity in the image of Sangah's solo, whilst still making the composition sound full of emotion. Overall great playing from everyone!

Been a subscriber to Nahre's channel for years and never heard anything quite like that. Good stuff everyone!

I watch Charles Cornell, so this video was a treat.

I already knew beforehand that Sangah would completely kill it. I love her approach to music! 🔥

I really enjoyed the energy of the lassie with the golden lab, 2nd too last. Although the progression was quite "sad" in feel she brought an up lifting energy to her rendition.

Great video! Great improvs by all. Loved Sangah Noona's storytelling. Bubuji boom!

David- a big part of the fun of Paul's challenge is when he praises the soloist's decisions and discusses them briefly after playing their invention. You might add that in future vids.

Thanks David and all the talented musicians for intriguing collab video! 👏👏👏👏👏🎹👊🙂👍BTW, Hey Bubuji! 🐶🐾

Charles has such a beautiful musicality. Wonderful solo. Very nice video !

Sangah's performance made me sit up and listen.

So great to see all of my favorite KZread piano stars in one video. It also was a perfect moment for a collab. A few years ago we had many, then it died out, so it was very refreshing and bringing back some memories. I loved all improvisations. Sangah made the show but I enjoyed the others just as much. The different approaches made it the best KZread piano video of the year for me.👍

Sangah and David were my favorites. I felt like their versions meshed the best with the track. Note choices, dynamics, felt more weaved into the track, rather than just sitting on top

I liked them all, but Charles’ was beautiful, and Nahre’s was also very nice. Sangha gets extra points for her beautiful golden retriever listening intently, as well as a great interpretation. Truly, all of you are so terrific. Just great, everyone.

Love Charles! His videos are amazing. That being said, Sangah’s part gave me some major goosebumps. She just got a new subscriber, that’s for sure.

All the improvisations sounded great! Thanks for this video David. Sangah Force Boom!

I'm so glad that you included Sangah Noona. I have a soft spot for het. She is in her own league.

Awesome video. Great to see Charles join you as well. You’re both some of my favourite channels on KZread

I agree. With her improv, you can make an important point - it's about more than the notes. Her body language subconciously helped me enjoy her solo more - you could tell she was having fun, and taking us along for the ride. Also - most everyone played electronic keyboards, and I appreciated and admired all of them - nothing wrong with any. But I was trying to figure out why Sangah's performance felt so much BIGGER - just volume? I don't think so. From her example, I think you can see that a good real (grand) piano does add something to the feel of a piece, again above and beyond the notes that are played.

David you are awesome. I follow 4 of those incredible piano players. The other two I was not familiar with. So much fun seeing them all perform in this fantastic little project.
