Chris Dawson plays this great rendition from the title song of the 1930 film. Clear crisp lines! Everything between the melody bookends is improvised. None of this was arranged beforehand. Chris is a consumate improviser. Check out this one too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wqp_Fo78M-I&feature=related

Very nice. I first heard this played like this on the lobby piano in the old Carrera Hotel in Santiago, Chile decades ago.

Your left hand is remarkable, it has a soft touch but is still fast and in rhythm.

Wonderful playing. If only old luxury hotels still had good/any pianists, which is where this music and style really belongs.
