#8: Will You Still Be Mine?

OK, Christmas is over, and it's time to get down to business.

Let's discuss the "Dan Wielunski Style". What kind of a pianist am I? Is this jazz, or something else? Who are my stylistic antecedents? There are ways in which my playing is deliberately ordinary or old-fashioned, and yet I don't know of too many solo pianists who play like this, even among the old guys; the first few influences I would cite are trio pianists (Erroll Garner, Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal).

This is a relatively recent addition to my repertoire, and a great demonstration of my concept of solo piano playing.
