Went to high school with Mulgrew. Greenwood, Mississippi. Voted "Most Talented".

"I worked hard to maintain a certain mental and emotional equilibrium. It's mostly due to my faith in the Creator. I don't put all my eggs in that basket of being a rich and famous jazz guy. That allows me a certain amount of freedom, because I don't have to play music for money. I play music because I love it." Mulgrew Miller in a 2005 interview. What a wonderful human being, beutiful soul that reflects perfectly in his playing. RIP Maestro, God bless you werever you are.

I love how the room got quiet when all realized that masterful music was being played!

have you guys noticed that at the start everybody's milling about and chatting, and then, slowly but surely, it all falls to a dead silence with everybody mesmerised. This is heart stopping music.

SHUT UP!!! MULGREW MILLER IS PLAYING!!!

Thank you to whomever recorded this and posted (maybe the same person). This is a great gift from an incredible artist who left us all too soon.

I was fortunate to be with Mulgrew Miller the whole week at The Conservatory in Tel Aviv together with my students and good I had my little camera with me. We miss Mulgrew and his music.

WHILE IN MSU, I WANTED TO MAJOR IN MUSIC AND PIANO . BUT SINCE MY PASSION WAS IN ELECTRONICS, I STILL KEEP MY MIND ON MUSIC AND PIANO. THEN, I MET MULGREW MILLER MULGREW MILLER MET AT MEMPHIS STATE UNIVERSITY IN THE 1970'S I WAS PURSUING A BACHELOR DEGREE IN ELECTRONIC ENGINEER MULGREW MILLER TAUGHT ME MY 1ST PIANO LESSON "YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE". WE WERE IN A PRACTICE PIANO ROOM. AT MEMPHIS STATE UNIVERSITY AND MULGREW MILLER INVITED ME IN.. SO I STARTED COMING BY THE PRACTICE PIANO ROOM ON A REGULAR BASIS I BOUGHT A STEVIE COMPOSITION "YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE". I PUT THE MUSIC BEFORE HIM AND WOW! HE PLAYED LIKE HE OWNED IT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MULGREW MILLER WOULD BECOME A GREAT JAZZ ARTIST I WAS IN FORT WORTH AT A JAZZ CLUB AND MET BETTY CARTER MULGREW MILLER PLAYED JAZZ FOR BETTY CARTER.

When I hear this, I'm reminded how much I miss him; your time here was all too brief.

It's funny that this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard and he is simply playing in a practice room for some students. Gift from God.

I miss Mulgrew Miller. Beautiful chords here; rich blues feel--every note counts!

RIP Mulgrew Miller - Gone, but not forgotten.

Mulgrew is a true master of this music, it's always really inspiring listening to him!

The last verse of this song is this scene. Thank you for the music Mr Miller. Some day there will be no more old folks What a lonely old world this will be Children's voices at play will be still fonding The day they take old folks away

I love this song. I love singing it and playing it. All due to this man. He s influenced my solo playing so much.

the way he plays he feels so pure, the music flows like a river

What a great talent Mulgrew Miller was. He mastery of the piano was legendary. He will be missed.

Wow. U can still here the church all in his playing

I love his music,reason why makes every people at classroom happy and they are all smiling after his music.

so much to learn here

Magnetic playing, it started of with chatter in the back ground. Then, it got serious and everyone was sucked in...lovely playing! Thanks for sharing.

got tears in my eyes

I like him a lot. His music lives in us.

Well, they all look young folk to behold?! Anyway, great fluidity and magnificent performance!, Thank you Mulgrew Miller & uploader.

The way of playing jazz that I love! Great Miller!

KZread is a wonderful resource. It brings so much into our lives. This would have never been heard otherwise. Great tune played with feeling. I love this, this is what the piano is about for me. June 85 to present, I'm still getting there. This sort of thing is what it's about.

Lovely.

Monstrous hands! What could he stretch to with his left hand, like a 14th? lol. RIP Miller.

i really really miss Him. God Bless Him. SaiRama

just searched this after reading an article in the jazz magazine about him. Hey, this guy plays some fresh stuff.

It's amazing how Mulgrew can just play any standard and make it his own. Another great gone too soon.

vídeo muy inspirador. Se puede ser libre ,profundo y divertido todo al mismo tiempo.

Víctor Alonso eso es. Suena fresco, espontáneo, pero a la vez con detalles. Trascendental y mundano, los 2 a la vez.

No, Mulgrew did not play with Wes. I guess, you probably confusing him with Harold Mabern: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hKyN0KeDaJqTirA.html

I always loved Oscar Peterson's version of this but you know I like this as much. RIP Mulgrew.

m hampton M. Miller once he's up and running has more modern less diatonic tendencies although there's still that same Tatum thing present.

Ask Sean Wilson Piano he could do it in an hour he's crazy at transcribing the Greats no matter the difficulty.

I'm the 666th like

I love the sound, but it feels like he is improvising. It’s like a 4x4 truck off road. Constantly struggling. Doesn’t sound super fluid.
