What a beautiful chord, and what a way of explaining it. There's always a method to the wizardry, but to think these things lived inside Bill Evans' mind to be summoned at will is just mind-boggling. Thank you for the video!
Great video and I enjoyed the congenial back and forth with Christian Ambroise to nail it down. It is easier to visualize as lh quartiles, add the 9th and minor triad in rh. BTW the pattern works well with a C bass for C69add#11
I think of these chords differently. Rather than Dsus, Eb sus, and Esus, it's really A sus, Bb sus, Bsus. To elaborate, the first being A minor (4,7,3 LH, 5, 9, 6 in RH). A minor being the ii chord of G major. The following chords follow the same formula. This voicing is commonly used by Bill as an intermediate extension of the ii chord to go to the V chord, so that's how I think he thinks of these chords. Thanks for your video.
I would love to see you break down or analyze a Weather Report song, maybe The Juggler, Harlequin or A Remark You Made? Any Zawinul or Wayne Shorter peice would be awesome. I really love the slower peices.
sorry but you had notes to Bill Evans voicings : first chord, no D in right hand, but E ; no Eb with lh/rh on second time in second chord, and so on : just quartals chords on left hand, and fifhs in right hand (second chord : Eb AB Db , F C G, and so on).. hope you agree with me..
I hear exactly what I wrote! That's weird, I tried to hear what you are hearing and I can't.. Are you sure you're correct? I'll keep trying to play it on top of his playing to see if it matches. But I hear it so clear... maybe I'm hallucinating :)
I got you! Yes, you mean the 2nd and 3rd chords, not the first one. Yes, he omits the 9th on the 2nd and 3rd chord! For the video though, we made all the chords the same.
putting a 3 and 6 in a sus chord doesn't make it "not make sense" man. not sure where you learned your theory but this is massively overcomplicated for what it is. it's a sus chord with some color. most complicated way i'd ever put it (and stretching it) is vi-/I7sus
Got you, vi/7sus4 makes sense (although it's missing the 9th of the 7sus4 chord) And yes it is a 7sus4 with some color (but which color?) Viewing the 3rd as a tension on a 7sus4 opens many doors for improvisation and voicings. But hey, whatever works for you is the way to go (always)
Yea not rly sure how to go about this either , theory is always a little over complicated. I just think of a D sus as a Cmaj7 with D in the bass… and adding the 3 is essentially making it Cmaj7#11 over D, which does add “color”. But who rly knows how Bill Evans thought of it xD

Great Jazz piano tutorial 😊
Thank you.

Thank you mDecks...Your Enthusiasm for teaching is wonderful as always "You do it for your Love" of this art form.

Very breth of the wild

Is there a backing track for this song? I do it for your love. Bills version
Do you mean in Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro?
Thank you, Aaron Copeland?
Yes Copland-eske for sure :)
@@mDecksMusic Mr. Polychord. Too many tensions and it gets messy. Copeland - perfection. Imo.

@@mDecksMusic Sorry but my ears say : no D in first chord (yes, D as bass note, but it's alone): D E G C E, then right hand...
It's very clear if you reduce speed (50%) , non D, but E (ninth) ;)
Oh, you meant the top D! I will check it out, that would make it so much easier to play!
Sounds like the beginning of Emily.
