Smooth jazz never went out of style. People just forgot how good of a style it could be.

I'm only a jazz listener but I'm sure this is the way the jazz music evolution can explore and reach unexplored path toward the beauty. Kim plays a modern jazz and it doesn't matter which chords or scales he's playing... my ears enjoy his music.

Hearing jazz musicians play outside is what makes me want to play jazz. I've seriously never seen or heard anyone do this better than Yohan Kim.

I have been following Mr. KIM for over a year now. He makes the keyboard talk. I don't play half as good as he does, yet I have learned quite a bit just listening and watching him slide up and down those Black and White keys. Putting sheet music in front of him while he plays would just get in the way. He is a true MASTER at his craft. 1/20/2022

.........my dad was an accomplished pianist in my country India, played in 5 star hotels, in the lounge, but yet he was open to the younger generation of pianist and learned a lot from them. His skills grew............and he was not ashamed of it.

I love his finger language. Its sooooo nice to see him play keyboard and to listen, its soooo pleasant

So many black keys on A minor, it's just amazing

Followed this guy for a couple of years now he is just exceptional, lots more to come and if you check his background he's qualified for stardom.

This guy sounds album ready. A+

Two things I’ve noticed since I started watching you. First your hands are a lot more relaxed, especially your right hand. Your movements seem effortless. Second, you are much more comfortable using modes in your solos.

Incredible playing - I'm not sure I have ever heard a better solo. For me jazz funk is the pinnacle, although I love many kinds of jazz. I'm a beginner and I know I'll never reach 1% of this level but this is the kind of music that inspires me to keep trying and keep working at it.

@@poerava Thanks. To be fair although I'm a beginner as a player, I've listened to quite a lot of jazz in my time. I think it's more a matter of a difference in tastes rather than me being very new to the world of jazz. These things are quite subjective. I'm a particular fan of the kind of outside playing that Yohan Kim is so good at, that's one of the reasons why I enjoy listening to his solos so much.

Absolutely brilliant,truely gifted.

Outstanding as usual! I’m always excited to see you. Keep gracing us with your brilliance! How sweet it is!

Music at it's best . Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece!

This is exactly what my whole beeing needed today. Thanks for offering your talent to the world.

Awesome jazz vibe Yohan. Keep doing your thing!!

I love this ❤️ Makes my mood better

Awesome, young man! Always enjoy listening to you play!

I love this progression! 🙌🏼👌🏼

Sounding fantastic as always Yohan! Beautiful playing mate.

I love the colors you play with as the solo progresses! Even as you begin to expand your palette, you always give us a smooth pentatonic riff at the end of each section to bring us back down to Earth. Fabulous work!

Excellent jazz and piano player, can´t stop listening!!!!

Alright, Alright! That was Super Cool! And Jazzy Smooth! Outstanding! 😎🎵🎼🎵🎹🎸🎷🎶

Can't get enough of your music, Yohan!

We learn to respect musician voicing to tell their story. I like this terrific playing. keep it up Yohan :)

Music like this heals the soul

Simply great and very smooth. Pls do more of it!!!!

I love the espionage feel, great improv!

I love this, Kim. It's cool!

Super talented guy and one of very gifted keyboardist.amazing

Excellent. Watch it over and over and learn. Practicing with backup tracks better than a metronome. It keps you in time and it's fun.

He is A MASTER! And he loves what he does. That is why its effortless

You Sir are pure fire! Much love from Greece.

Nice and smooth. This guy is amazing

I have just fallen in love with your music!

Aha.....very light fingers simply floating over the keys....nice and smooth!
