*Mr. P.C.* (John Coltrane) - 2 piano arrangements
Просмотров 5204 месяца назад
The title of this classic up-tempo minor Blues from his 1960 *Giant Steps* album refers to his bassist Paul Chambers. My 1st arrangement uses those left-hand bass anchors and quartal voicings in the style of McCoy Tyner (his pianist in later recordings). The approach for the 2nd arrangement is more dense using clusters and a lot of minor 9th and major 7th intervals in the individual voicings. b...

    @davidirwin4935 Месяц назад

    How did you decide on the chord names to use? (not criticizing, I'm a self taught musician and not qualified to tell anyone anything for sure, just curious) I guess keeping it simple is easier to read, but right away my ears hear something more like E/F#, Bmaj9 or F#/B, G/A, D6, Ab7b5, D/G...etc. i heard him talk about breaking his ideas down into triad blocks, right away it appears to me this composition demonstrates creating harmony in that fashion. I'm a guitar player and so when I use piano music, well, as a lot we're not great note readers (your notes seem fine, as in they sound great to me without going back to the piece), so if I arranged it I'd write out the chords that remind me of the voicings I'd need to use to solve the fretboard puzzle, unfortunately I can't play piano arrangements on guitar. But if say a guitarist tried to play along with the chords listed, the result would be, my guess, disappointing to the player. Chords will always be an inexact abbreviation of course. I see this though in every fake book. If I ever decide to try to work this out, this is really nice to know it exists because the hard part of determining the notes has been done. Nice job, sounds wonderful, it's an incredible composition.

      @andysjazztopics Месяц назад

      @@davidirwin4935 hi David, thank you for commenting. to me your suggested chord symbols look totally fine too. the reason why i opted for those sus chord symbols is that they illustrate the functional dominant->tonic relationships between F#7sus->Bmaj7, A7sus->Dmaj7, which the slash chords only do if i'm aware that E/F# IS in fact F#7sus4 (as would be C#m7/F#). The essential notes of F#7sus4 are E (the 7th) and B (the suspended 4th) - if i add the 9th G# i get an E triad. I'd be interested to understand which kind of voicing the chord symbol F#7sus would suggest to you as a guitarist other than E/F# would. best, andy

    Noch nie sind Standards so klar gewesen wie mit Deinem Channel 😮 und außerdem von einem Kollegen aus der Gegend... Verkaufst Du Deine Arrangements in irgendeiner Form? Ich würde es mir definitiv zulegen, gerade als Zusammenstellung, so was wie «100 Easy Jazz Standards arranged for Piano». Ich habe so was für Klassik im Musikladen in Zürich gefunden, und es macht extrem viel Spaß, und ist sehr nützlich um in die Praxis reinzukommen. Deine 1-3-5-7 usw. Notation macht es auch sehr viel leichter zu begreifen, wie Voicings grundsätzlich funktionieren. Schönen Gruß aus dem Elsass 👋

      Hi, danke dir. Die Sheets zu den Videos stelle ich ja per Link in der Beschreibung frei zur Verfügung. Das scheint mir eine rechtliche Grauzone zu sein, da das alles ja nicht meine Kompositionen (eben Standards) sind. Vor gut 20 Jahren habe ich über den Ricordi-Verlag eine Sammlung von 32 Jazzstandards in leichten Piano-Arrangements herausgebracht ("Sound of Jazz", Sy 2686), die noch im Handel ist. Der Satz ist ähnlich - allerdings sind die Stücke allesamt ausnotiert. Sowas zu verkaufen scheint mir aber nur zusammen mit einem grösseren Verlag möglich, der die ganzen Rechte mit den Copyright-Ownern abklären (und vorab für die ganze Auflage bezahlen) muss. So bleibe ich momentan in dem Modus bei RUclips - wer will kann mir ja einen Obolus für meine Arbeit spendieren :) beste Wünsche, andy

      Alles klar verstehe; wobei ziemlich viel Standards in den 50er Jahren veröffentlicht wurden, und dementsprechend ziemlich bald im Public Domain verfallen werden, oder? (70 Jahre Urheberrecht.) Wenn ja, es darf bloß keine 1:1 Transcription von einer bestimmten Aufnahme sein (das Problem lässt sich aber leicht beheben), aber ansonsten wäre alles urheberrechtsfrei... Jedenfalls besten Dank für die Infos, und die sehr tollen Videos! 🙏

    Recently found your channel, I love your content. It motivates me to try to learn piano again. In some of your videos you use a type of vertical notation. I think I almost get it, but what do S and L mean at the top of the stack? Does this notation have a name?

    • @andysjazztopics
      @andysjazztopics 2 месяца назад

      @@kian4392 thank you for your appreciation. S and L refer to 2 basic types of chord voicings: S stands fot the small voicing form where the left hand plays the root and the 3rd of the given chord, while the right hand adds the 7th (or 6th). L stands for the large voicing form - the left hand playing root + 7th (or 6th), the right hand adding the 3rd.
