This is absolute mastery over the instrument. It must feel amazing

I was thinking of the same thing boss🤯🤯🤯

Such beautiful playing

Thank you for this Peter. Your gift highlights the genius of Stevie’s music, you play beautifully and with so much respect. What a joy to hear these favourites of mine for over 50 years. They don’t date, they are still masterpieces.

I've thought that Peter isn't a good teacher because he doesn't know his own strength. But what is a good teacher if not one who inspires? I can do this. I want to do this. It shall be done. You hit "If It's Magic" so far out of the ballpark, Stevie's goosebumps were felt by all fortunate enough to hear SIP #28. Thank you, sir.

At moments, it feels like I'm a kid again, listeing to a neverending credit(s) of, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood!!!

I'd swear there are two pianists playing at times😀. Such melodic fluidity, hand independence, rhythmic vibrancy, and genuine respect to the original material. Most instrumental covers of Stevie's music loses its vitality. This is an exception.

The rhythmic timing on Superstition is my favorite part.

I absolutely love the way Peter plays. I highly recommend the Elements of Jazz course he has online. A very inspiring musician and teacher

Jazz piano method also! 😉

Summer Soft has long been my favourite Stevie Wonder track, and I've always thought it would suit a Jazz Piano rendition because of it's modulations. Brilliant Peter. Thank you.

Me too. Great changes.

I notice you really like Stevie, I personal think he’s one of the best composers in history.

Man, I could listen to you and those Stevie Songs for some more hours.....exactly some of my favs you ve chosen

This playing style is reminiscent of Dave Grusin, and that's a good thing

Genius Peter Martin thank you for performance here from Aalborg Denmark and God bless

Thanks Peter for the great honouring of Stevie's music and so well interpreted love the inspiring perfomance

Great 😊

#Thanksforthis.

👊🏼 Loved and enjoyed immensely reminded me of Chic Corea for some reason... 👊🏼 2023 still listening 🎧

Seriously amazing! I hope you do an entire album of piano versions of Stevie's work. I will never tire of hearing you play these timeless songs!

My cherie amour. Spectacular! 'nuff said!

Just had to pause and say how exquisite the playing of ‘You and I’ was and with a sprinkle of Lately thrown in for good measure. I previously watched a video of yours dissecting Stevie’s tunes and you mentioned McCoy Tyner, thanks, his playing has an incredible amount of emotion. P E A C E : ) and back to this most enjoyable musical treat.

Peter your playing has inspired me! Blessings!

Brilliant pianist & brilliant musical educator - superb playing Pete, thoroughly enjoyed that!

He did an Open Studio live on Feb 22 or so 2023 just featuring Don’t you worry bout a thing. I can’t wait for them to post a recording of it. He really unpacks a lot of layers surrounding that tune. I learned so much, and I’m a bass player. Wannabe piano player.

Silver lining of covid....so many of us get to hear PM instead of him being halfway around the world playing. You knocked it out again Brother! Making that ‘dorfer sing too.

The way you play If It’s Magic reminds me of Norah Jones.

Ma Cherie Amour. A song which reached the top 5 on the Billboard. The chorus prominently uses lydian. Pretty cool for a pop song.

Blimey, Peter! Cherie Amour was terrific, and I don't even like that song - I would have skipped past it if I'd known it was coming, as it's not Stevie's best (it's a bit boring, I feel) - but you transformed it, what a great energy, got me grinning!

If Stevie Wonder didn't exist, then this is what an AI approximation of musical genius would look and sound like, giving mere mortals the exhausting challenge of trying to compose such impossibly brilliant songs with harmony and melody. The very fact that SW does exist and has composed these exemplars of composition makes him something akin to the God of music.

❤

You are a master and Stevie is a master, my fav since i was a child after hearing songs in the Key of Life. If you could take apart 'knocks me off my feet' next time, that would be awesome. thank you, Sir, you amaze me.

Just amazing groove, love the left hand counterpoint, didn't miss the bass player at all.

My thoughts exactly! First thing that popped out!

U doin' the damn thing......Excellent playing !!!!!

Dear pm just here to say thank you for this wonderful music.

Well, I was listening to your breakdown of "Don't worry about a thing" on your fantastic Jazz Methods courses on OS and I thought to myself "man. I WISH this guy would come out with with an album something like 'Peter Martin Plays Stevie Wonder'" (see what I did there) and then purely by chance I happen upon this! This is the shiznit.

great work of a great musician tributing maybe my favourite artist, one of the greatest genius of music in history. Thank you Peter!

💙💙 Beautiful Touch with Heart💙💙

We love you, Peter! Great playing as always! Greetings from Moscow!

Whis Love from Russia, dear Piter!!!❤ super!!!

Thank you for sharing this inspiring music with us. What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night.

beautiful playing, esp my cherie amour

You and I…gorgeous stuff man 👌

Superstition was awesome! I've never heard it solo piano before

Absolutely incredible playing, just wonderful. Cheers

Sua Música é fantástica!!! Gratidão!

Thanks for sharing this master piece

Faboulus Peter 👏👏❤️❤️

Increíble 😮What can i say?? Thanks a lot!

19:34 that Lately quote tho. Soo good

Hey man, thank you for sharing this.. can't explain how much joy your version of Superstition gave me! Your feel and sound is right up my street. Amazing stuff!!

You the man bruh,... I want to be a keyboardist now, because of your inspiration and the way you play. Stevie is a god,... but YOU my friend are one also. Can you just send me an invoice and a blueprint (path) to what I should practice? I'm retired and READY. #SALUTE

Perfect. 👍👏

Amazing dear Peter!!

Thank you!

Excellent, as always👏

Brilliant!

Excellent 👌

Always amazing sir.

sublime

Been waiting 3 days for this 😂👍

That was truly beautiful, nice one man

Super son, super groove ! Excellente idée de jouer Stevie Wonder.

🙏🧡 from Italy!!

excellent！

Do you guys ever pull out that Rhodes? I would think Stevie songs would have been a good opportunity for it 🙂

The song was from “Jungle Fever” soundtrack Great concert Peter!

19:33 I see what you did there!

It’d be amazing if you could do this again! What a performance! Hopefully m, if you do, you could cover ribbon in the sky

15:01 Stevie actually plays Abmaj7, not Ab7, on the ii. I- and a bunch of other people who've played this tune- have made the same mistake because as jazz musicians we're so used to hearing the secondary dominant.

Imagine if Pat Metheny and Stevie Wonder collaborated. Wonder what that would sound like.

What's the name of the last song?

@@janisdeitsch2985 thanks much. Once again a terrific concert by Peter!

This lacked a lot of shape or movement or song. Just running through the scales, arpeggios and quantised scale motions with a kind of musical ADHD doing too much.
