I've played for as long as I can remember really, currently 19 years old. Heard one note samba for the first time (much faster than this) at a jazz club, and I came and did this video the next day - Great piece! Watching this video now I'm not very happy with my playing at all! Now that I'm much more accustom to jazz playing it's annoying to think how much better I could do now!

Well then, James, in that case, stop being annoyed and record One Note Samba again! The piece is worth it. And YOU, my dear man, are very worth it. What a great talent you are! I love this treatment, you played it really well, especially for having only heard the song for the first time the night before! Are you serious? You're terrific. I'm going to be using this as an accompaniment Saturday for a party I'm giving and I'll be singing to it, in the manner taught me by the great Everett Devan, the great jazz keyboard and Hammond B organist of Kansas City Jazz fame who tried his best to teach me and whom I was honored to know.

I can listen to your rendition of "One Note Samba" a million times and still would never tire of it! Love it! Thanks!

Wow. One of the greatest songs ever written. And your rendition is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this.

If he is really playing this then it is great but is he really playing ????

Possibly best ever recording of this great song I've ever heard, awesome!

This is the best version that I ever seen , I have never see better than this piano version. Thank you so much.

Just Wow, this is sooo good! And when you suddenly started to solo over the chords - so delicious! Honorary mention to the descending, ornamented line after the descant episode (2:28 onwards), followed by a short "rumba" piano style section (a little taste of it already sooner)! Way to go!

I get a kick out of this everytime I listen to this fabulous Rendition of this terrific song! The One Note Samba is the Greatest Bossa Nova Samba Jazz Song Of All Time PERIOD!!!!!

This is the best rendering of this song I have ever heard including the song itself.

If this young man is really playing this song, then this rendition is very good. One Note Samba is one of the greatest jazz songs ever written!!!!!

I must change the greatest jazz hit list to my personal favorites: 1. Green Dolphin Street 2. Blusette, 3. One Note Samba, 4. THE Girl from Ipanema, and then the rest!!!!!

I love this! I just keep playing over and over again!

Dude, you made my day... you are just a natural. Really, a pleasure to watch and listen. Amazing that you picked this all up by ear. What a talent. Would love to learn something from you someday.

So cooool!!!! thanks for sharing, James!!! Compliments for your musical art!

How lovely to see a young man playing this song 🎶💕

Wonderful improvisation !! I really enjoy listening it!

The best one note samba rendition ever!!

Always a pleasure watching you perform James! Smashed it there!!

This is just a little samba Built upon a single note Other notes are sure to follow But the root is still that note Now this new one is the consequence of the one we've just been through As i'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you There's so many people who can talk and talk and talk And just say nothing or nearly nothing I have used up all the scale I know and at the end I've come To nothing or nearly nothing So i come back to my first note as i must come back to you I will pour into that one note all the love i feel for you Any one who wants the whole show do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ci-do He will find himself with no show better play the note you know He will find himself with no show better play the note you know This is just a little samba Built upon a single note

Love it! Love it! Bravo!!!

omg, this is soooo incredible great. I am starting to play Jazz during this time. And when I watch your video, I think I will never ever be like that! Chapeau!

Wow. Very, very nicely played ~ you have style !

Brilliant work.

Beautiful!!!!

GREAT JOB on this great tune !!!!!

Wow!! Spectacular!! You are a joy to watch and you did that song proud. You really looked like you were having a great time and the hat was great!!

Very cool, man. You have the feeling to samba

Wow! That's some nifty finger work there. And you even had time to put the sombrero on halfway through. Impressive.

Fabulous Love it!

I love this One note Samba piano or Roland u did i am a singer by Profession, so one of my favorites.. thanks Way to Go young guy

Simple but very beautiful too

Nicely done!

I really like your arrangement mate! Thanks for sharing! :)

Splendid Playing Dude !!! Bravo.

Remarkable talent!

grand talent, bravo et encore de belle melodies merci robert de paris

That was fantastic thank you very much

Very relaxing to listen too...

Brazil here ! Very good Your job.

Excellent! I tried this many times as a child but just one note at a time.

Very nice, James. You have a great talent. Particularly enjoy seeing piano players use the left hand for comping chords. And your improvisational skills are quite nice. Best of all I could tell you really enjoyed playing that piece and that's what really counts. Cheers!

pure awesomeness.

keep goin' i am at 45 years piano, you got it. onward. Thx. good job.

a kinda american guy playing a bazilian song and using a mexican sombrero, that's the best i've ever seen

You're awesome. wish you have some more posts.

awesome!

Great music, great sound and great video :D

you wrote "funny how one of my worst.." but it's no wonder because you're playing with full of delightfulness and everytime I play this vid I feel happy, thanx bro :)

Que bonitos arreglos musicales!!!! Te felicito

very good, great instrument

Great stuff James !!

Outstanding! I wish there were music sheets for this amazing cover!

That hat XD . So Cute! Very good performance! I love it!!

The best version I have ever heard! I need a tutorial for that, please :D

Really nice

Gréât job man !!

Awesome!!

I play piano.. But nothing like that because in the early 60s..my mother had a classical Russian teacher.. But oh lord you really really enjoy it and wow oh wow.. Just amazing!!

Its not necessary to re-do this video, because in my opinion you are performing absolutey brilliant. One note samba at its best. I cannot understand why you think this is your worst video. Wish I could play half as good as you.

yeah man!!! sounds really nice!

Enjoyed your music very much. Thumbs up! peace, Tim

I like the way you play one of my top ten preferred bossa-nova

i love this!!!!

i enjoy your music man!

Nice job!

Oh man so good improvised. Regards from Athens!

Omg love this!

And that's the best way to enjoy life! Great.

Very talented!

amazing man !

Very,Very good

Excelente!! 😊

Enhorabuena chaval, lo tuyo es el piano.

Too good.

You got skills my man! : )

You're fantastic

i like it very!

Muy buena interpretacion pibe !!

wow! Nice!!!

Fantastico!!

Many thanks Harry! Much appreciated. :) Although I'm not particularly happy with this playing watching it back a few years later, to think what I could do now with it! Really glad you notice the enjoyment... can't see how people can't get into these things - especially at jam sessions! Nothing worse than watching a dead musician! Thanks again.

Okay James you perfectionist lol! So record another updated version. I’m going to sing one note samba at church this Sunday and you sir are accompanying me. My point is that meditation enables us to hear the gaps between the notes; and that’s where the music lives- in songs and in our lives.

bravo!

Nice, real nice.

Bravo one note à samba !

Very good.

You're a 5 Star - Talented, Fantastic, Flawless, Funny, Clown. Dude you are so very good.

Nice!

This is my all time favorite. I wish it was played with the virtual keyboard that shows the notes. I would definitely spend the time to learn it. I wish there was a way to add the virtual keyboard to piano songs to reproduce the notes being played. I love so many songs on youtube, that I would learn

Muy bonita la interpretación y la canción

simple is more, excellent

WoW🤗🤗👍 Very Happy Tune 🎵　Thank You 🤗

the more i see rhis video, the more i like it (like? iove it!)
