Dave reposting here is a good idea. Believe it or not, we seem to have a bigger audience here. Maybe it's because PW has 50,000+ members (not counting Google lurkers).

Hmm, for tunes, I was thinking of taking pop or rock songs and "jazzing" them up. Jarrett can make a simple tune like Over the Rainbow sound so poignant, and why is that, the chords and notes aren't that difficult. It's the touch, expression, and nuance... jazz + contemporary pop + poignant + high artistry ... Alan Pasqua, Wichita LinemanTom/7notemode, I Can't Make You Love MeBrad Mehldau, She's Leaving Home

Thanks! I'll see if anything interesting turns up there.

Ok, Jazzwee, here's your welcome back recording. Maybe I should call it "Hello Porkpie Hat", but then you'd have to start wearing a bowler. http://www.box.net/shared/2nsttq85sbIt's actually my first attempt at recording this thing, so lots of bugs and slip-ups, but you can get the idea of the direction I'm going. Also, I had to rescue this thread from the second page. Don't make me do that again. J

Thanks for the dedication Scep. Nice blues stylings here, man. Enjoyed that a lot. You've got a really nice touch there and are really comfortable with blues. So nothing to critique from my end.
And thanks for rescuing the thread, but don't worry, it'll come back up. The thing about the stuff we do, we can't post something everyday. Some things take a little more time to practice.

Thanks Wiz! Like I said, you're following in Kenny Werner's footsteps. For some time I actually subscribed to a channel where he just played stuff like this all the time and it was just published for his subscribers. Glad to see you putting your recording device to work and sounds great!

no problem wee, I've been watching some of Werner's stuff, I really like his philosophy for music. What kind of channel are you referring to, on youtube? I will have to check it out.

Wiz - Have you read Kenny Werner's "Effortless Mastery"? If not, put it on your must read list. Barb

This was some time ago and he ended that. He had a special website for it under ArtistShare. Now he has a mailing list and then you get a linkto a video. It's not about his music though, it's mostly about Effortless Mastery. You can probably sign up on his website. He just automatically transferred us from the old site. I really like the way Kenny plays. He has a very nice touch and also specializes in the odd rhythm, something he shares with Mehldau (who studied with him before). I would definitely classify him as modern jazz. He had a gig locally just recently (a week or so ago) but unfortunately I couldn't make it.

I've been watching some of his master classes on youtube and like his approach and thinking to the music, very cerebral.
Just checked the lineup for our summer jazz festival, Chick Corea's doing a solo piano concert. That's top of the list to see!

I just realized I had a ticket to Kenny Barron this coming week. That should be good especially after missing Jarrett. Anybody else doing Very Early? I've been working on this and I can get through soloing on the changes without losing my place maybe 95% of the time. So it's getting better. But the chord changes fly on this and until my eye is not drifting to the LH to make sure I got the chord right, I will not be able to focus on getting some good soloing on the RH. You don't have much time to think here. The changes themselves are complex because most of the progression is unrelated. So much of it is very vertically oriented and moving so quickly. Those who have learned this before, how long did it take you? My teacher told me it took him a long time to learn this, especially trying to make some intelligent connections in the progression.

JW, when you said that Brad M had odd rhythm, do you mean he drifts between 4/4 and 3/4 time ?

A long time ---like everything else, " still a work in progress". Now you make me feel better. This tune has a lot of potential but some aspects require a lot of practice. Today I was just experimenting with the melody being voiced as thirds (and fourths). It's really hard to remember and you're dealing with the whole keyboard all the time, both hands stretched. Tough tune. But I should be able to get something accomplished here eventually. Nef seems so easy in comparison.
