My dad would play this every single time he touches the piano. I never knew what the song was until now. Beautiful! Brings back memories.

Every time I hear that tune it takes me back to a bar in Subic Bay, Philippines. It is 1960. I am 18, a new Navy Hospital Corpsman, and drinking San Miguel beer in the Club Oro. Dancing to "Misty" sung by Johnny Mathis, with "Toni" a beautiful young Filipina girl about 22. Had a terrible crush on her. Ah youth!

My piano teacher passed away 8 years ago. She’d always teach me classics like this. Miss you so much Maxine Bagan 😢. You were such a beautiful person

erroll garner would be proud. he didn’t know how to read music but you can’t get this kind of expression out of an instrument just by reading sheet music, it has to come from your heart

does anyone else realize how flawless this is?

this is why piano is my favorite instrument

Beautiful execution and interpretation that in one passage (min.2:05), in particular, brings to mind the Arabesque n.1 by Claude Debussy. Excellent.

what a difference a good camera and decent audio equipment make! it's been 8 years and this has been so well recorded. Top work. GREAT PLAYING!

I LOVE your interpretation of this song. Too many jazz players play it too quickly IMO and the melody gets buried underneath dozens of notes. This one though is just perfect as it retains the same tone.

I love this variation of Misty in its purest form. This one has more of a nice and soothing classical feel to it while still keeping its charm as a jazz standard. Its a nice break from all the dissonance in other jazz interpretations of this beautiful piece.

I don't understand why people would dislike such beautiful masterpiece.

this man is great

Nothing is perfect in this world, but this song is the closest to it. ❤

I love it that KZfaq brings this video around every few months to grace my ears again, with this lovely rendition of Misty. I just freeze actions and melt down, and intently listen to each key-stroke. LOVIN'IT

Three years since I last commented on this and I still can’t get over how amazing it is.

I still remember deep down I used to play that song woth my jazzy pals. Just wondering if they've been doing well. I was the trombone player btw. It's sorta blast from the past. Miss you guys.

2:08 Debussy's arabesque quote ;) beautiful!

this brings me to tears and i cant explain why

40 seconds in and I already got chills

Very clean, very crisp, very fluid, very BEAUTIFUL....

Most soulful rendition I've heard on youtube yet.

This is so beautiful. I showed it to my grandmother and she said it brought her back to her old days :) so beautiful !!!!!!!

His dynamics are so amazing. I'm breathing, exhaling the notes as he plays.

My dad's favorite as well played every time he got on the piano. Such memories.

Jeff, do you have the sheet music for this? I'd love to try it out - very beautifully arranged. One of the best arrangements of Misty I've ever heard.

Mr. Jeff Williams,Absolutely wonderful. This is real music !!!! Thanks for posting. Greetings from Brasil.

Music rediscovering you in this age is almost worth coming back for.

I cannot get enough of this composition, and I love trying to play it. I have listened to dozens of versions and whilst Erroll Garner's performances are incredible, the influences on your rendition make it ammongst the most emotional and optimistic I have heard.

Ya talk about melting...that's what I do, when I hear Misty, played exquisitely! I LOVE that rendition! You play it SO WELL!!! Thank you so much for posting this video!

Absolutely beautiful ... I could listen to this type of piano music all day. Reminds me of how my mom played the piano. ❤️

My grandpa plays this for me every summer. I soak in the sound of his voice and the keys, closing my eyes and drifting away into the feelings of what true love and passion is.

I got nostalgic listening to this, my Dad’s old stick record player, he loved his music. Thanks Dad for the joy and lovely music you introduced into my life.

I miss my parents, singing this together when we were Young... didn't know I'd be relishing this piece at my age now...in my 50s...

This is my favorite piano song! It's just so peaceful!

I'll never get over how beautifully you play this piece, I'll listen to this for the rest of my life

Simply LOVE this song. Love the key he is playing in, it gives the song so much POWER

FLAWLESS !!! This is so like my Mom played it, 'brought a tear! VERY GOOD ! ❤ Bill from Tn. 🇺🇸 Erroll Garner would be proud! 10-28-21 makes the second dozenth time I've watched this video, and it brings a tear every time

This Puts A Kiss ON Your Soul.

I have heard many different versions of Misty over many years and I think this is the best version I have ever heard. Bravo! (enthusiastic applause)

A beautiful tune, played by an accomplished musician, what more could one wish for. .

Misty is a cherished classic, I love what you did with it. It sounds heartfelt and respectful. You made it your own :) Thank you. José

Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree; And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud, I can' t understand I get misty, just holding your hand. Walk my way, And a thousand violins begin to play, Or it might be the sound of your hello, That music I hear, I get misty,whenever you're near. Can't you see that you're leading me on? And it's just what I want you to do, Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost That's why I'm following you. On my own, When I wander through this wonderland alone, Never knowing my right foot from my left My hat from my glove I'm too misty, and too much in love. I'M JUST too misty, And too much In love.....

I’ve been looking for this song for 3 years , I played in my school jazz band, I still remember my trumpet solo . Thank you so much KZfaq algorithm.

Such a well played beautiful piece of music ....my eyes got misty when i listened to it...thank you

I've just recently learned about this song and the man who composed it, but I haven't been able to stop myself from listening to as many versions as I can find. This one is sublime.

I love the feeling you put into it. Great job ...

Oh wow....beautifully played. Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful!!!!! I get misty just listening to this beautifully played song.

Absolutely beautiful and soothing to listen to!

This makes me feel life has been been generous to me and nothing bad has ever happened to me buh that's not how it truly is.... I love this 😥😥

my friend played this and i pretended to be a depressed anime character looking out a window and he was laughing while playing

One of my favourite songs, such a great rendition!

I was so touched about the play and lovely, soothing melody. You made my day, thanks a million!

I used to play this with a saxophonist. .. I was in love with him.

I don't understand why you don't have WAY more subscribers! You are absolutely amazing!

A wonderful interpretation of "Misty". Thanks to the artist!

Well done version! I listened to this as a kid, late night radio show(we didn't have tv back then), before going to sleep..Thank you so much, brings back so many pleasant memories.

I was just singing this song to myself today! It’s so gorgeous and I love how you play it!

What a wonderful Interpretation of this Evergreen, thanks for Posting 🎂

Lovely playing....

Dude you got robbed with so many dislikes. Sad, this was absolutely brilliant and incredible left hand voicings. Kudos man !!

Amazingly talented! So very beautiful, thank you so much.

lovely sounds

This is the best Jazz rendition of any piece that I have ever heard and do I hear Romanticism with rubato in your melody emphases? You play so beautifully and I could listen to this repeatedly without getting bored for you have an energetic soul that also enjoys pondering life! Thank you for sharing. I would love to learn this arrangerment:)

A most lovely melody ,Love it,reminds me of someone very special to me.

My mom plays this on occasion and my grandfather, a pianist, played this quite often. I enjoy hearing it again.

! Que hermosa melodía ! 😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇲🇽 Enseguida me hizo sonreír . Saludos desde México 🇲🇽💟

Divinamente interpretado. Parabéns!

Absolutely beautiful and smooth. Thanks.

Wow! So beautiful Jeff!!! Thanks for posting it.......indeed!

Erroll never played this the same way twice. Although it is true that it cant be taken too fast, see his Copenhagen concert version on line to sample a rather for him untypical but equally creative version out of character. This is only one of the two songs written by himself which he performed publicly and often. It is essentially a ballad (see the lyrics which came much later) and needs a steady rhythmical slow tempo with a few contrasting bridges. The other song was the great "Feeling is believing" which is at least as great as his Autumn Leaves interpretation.

Just beautiful. This is a GREAT song and I love your interpretation of it. Light and jazzy...nice arrangement! I have subscribed. You play piano beautifully. ~Jackie

This is too beautiful. Makes my eyes tear up.

Fantastically played. Beautifully arranged, lovely musicality.

Look at me I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud I can't understand I get misty, just holding your hand Walk my way And a thousand violins begin to play Or it might be the sound of your hello That music I hear I get misty whenever you're near Don't you know that you're leading me on? And it's just what I want you to do Can't you see that I'm hopelessly lost? That's why I'm following you On my own When I wander through this wonderland alone Never knowing my right foot from my left My hat from my glove I'm too misty, and too much in love Too misty And too much Too much in love

beautiful....

Absolutely love this, so well done.

This was beyond beautiful!

MARAVILLOSA interpretacion Jeff!!! Congratulations!! Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree; And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud, I can' t understand I get misty, just holding your hand. Walk my way, And a thousand violins begin to play, Or it might be the sound of your hello, That music I hear, I get misty, the moment you're near. Can't you see that you're leading me on? And it's just what I want you to do, Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost That's why I'm following you. On my own, When I wander through this wonderland alone, Never knowing my right foot from my left My hat from my glove I'm too misty, and too much in love. Too misty, And too much In love
