Watching through bits of this now. The joy on his face is infectious - I wish I had been there to see this live.

Stairway to Heaven is wonderful.

Started with a popular streamer on twitch having his viewers "raid" this channel which then lead it to being posted on reddit and then it ballooned from there.

It is absolutely amazing how much disposable income some people have who watch twitch.

Watched 2 people have a donation fight the other night over who would donate more. Guy ended up shutting his competition down by plunking down $1500

I bet neither of them understand the point of Christmas either.

His bio from his website says hes been doing improv since age 3! That's nuts!

Born and raised in the Bronx, NYC in 1944, Bernie Katzman began the art of improvisation at age three and was studying formally by age four. He studied at the renowned Juilliard School of Music Prep Division at age 10 and attended the High School of Music and Art in Manhattan before earning his Bachelors and Masters degrees in music performance at Juilliard.

Bernie began his professional music career performing at the opening of Lincoln Center as a tenor in a performance of Beethovens 9th under the baton of the iconic Leonard Bernstein. He has since performed concerts throughout the NYC metropolitan area and was most notably recognized for his concert at Carnegie Recital Hall, which consisted of works by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and Liszt. Unique to this concert was Bernies performance of his own freestyle improvisations. Bernie is an unparalleled pianist in the art of improvisation and is known for his outstanding expertise and talent in the creation of piano works in all forms, lengths and styles.

Bernie has an extensive career in the field of non-classical music as well. It includes jazz performance, being a show-band and club date leader in the NYC metropolitan area, and studio recording work.

Bernie has composed and produced many improvisational CDs ranging from New Age Classical, Yiddish and Hebrew melodies, your favorite Christmas carols including his original song Stay With Me On This Christmas Night, Hanukkah at Home with Bernie and An American Prayer, a production dedicated to victims of 9/11 and their families.

As a new Twitch.tv partner, Bernie streams piano improvisations and sings multiple times a week at: www.twitch.tv/pianoimproman

Spoony Bob · Jan 27, 2016

Wish I wasn't at work so I could listen to some of this.

ColdPizza · Jan 27, 2016

Is this on replay or live?

Rootbeer · Jan 27, 2016

I only tuned in for about 45 mins near the very end but I feel like I missed something legendary. I will comb back through the archives when I get a chance.

MAN those donations were rolling in.

2002whitegt · Jan 27, 2016

I'm tired this morning, but it was worth it. It was an awesome experience seeing it live, when he did the Star Wars cantina song with the kazoo I lost it.

ODDI · Jan 27, 2016

It's just such a good "background" stream for when you're doing stuff.

The music is amazing, the man is great and affable entertainer during the downtime, the chat is hilariously insane if you want to pop in and take a look...it's a perfect storm of internet goodness.

LiquidMetal14 · Jan 27, 2016

River flows in you

Maybe a mod can update the title with LIVE NOW or something. He's back.
