    Any of these songs sound like days when I just play what I like.. maybe set out with Fur Elise
    and the go Blues .. mixing chords, scales, exploring sounds , trying pentatonic out with all kinds of extensions 13ths etc. Listened to it it gave me ideas. Thanks.

      Hi Muuroong! Thanks for watching, and I'm glad you're enjoying these videos! Do you play jazz piano?

      My primary instrument is guitar, but also learning trumpet. Could be a Guide tone pianist, root note bassist in some situation. :D

    This Tune Will Sound Great With A Set Of Bata Drums In The Back To Give It A Real Afro Cuban Flavor.

      Hi Luis - I can't find it now. I may have been getting their video of Mr PC confused with another performance of Shorter playing Afro Blue, which I remember seeing at one point. Or, there may indeed be a video of them performing Afro Blue together. Either way, I hope you enjoy playing this great tune!

    Hey Ron, the funny thing about this song is that it's really not a song, per se, as much as it's an excuse to jam in F minor. Know what I mean? I'd say Coltrane came close to making it into a jazz tune, in his own way. Do you know who the pianist was who played this live with Coltrane? He really exploited the modal envelop.
    BTW, for me "Afro Blue" is what I would describe as modal jazz through the prism of the Renaissance. Some of those changes are more Early Music in their harmony than modern harmony. Do you hear what I'm hearing?

    • @rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453
      @rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453  7 лет назад +1

      Agreed, although the melody is pretty catchy, but short. The pianist was McCoy Tyner. Good point about the early music sound of the changes. Coltrane recorded Greensleeves too, so he must have liked that sound.

    • @DonyaLane
      @DonyaLane 7 лет назад +1

      I feel so silly. Yes, McCoy Tyner, indeed! Why was I not able to make that association? LOL
      Thank you for mentioning Greensleeves and your speculation about Coltrane liking that sound. Very interesting...

    Excelent !!
    Thank you for sharing !
    Those dissonant chords could be repeated some times during the improv.
    Could you detail again that Db7#9 and C7 $11 ? I cannot reach same sound as you did.

    • @rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453
      @rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453  4 года назад +1

      That's an excellent idea about using these chords during the improv, Marcos. I hadn't thought of that! The voicings I use are: D F B E Db, and C E Bb Db Gb Bb. Have fun :)

    As am listening to this tune/rendirion. My thought would be to start with the original version, and afterwords modify it to the copies, so to speak. Whats yur thought on that

      Hi Javier. Are you using the music in the Real Book? In my copy there's only one 2nd ending, and it's just an Fm7 chords which is the same as the 1st ending. Which chords are giving you difficulty?

    • @rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453
      @rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453  7 лет назад +3

      Oh I see. I often play a melody very slowly, for a long time. Most pianists don't practice slowly enough. But Chick Corea said that the way to play fast is to play slowly... a lot. See how this goes :)

      Hi Louis - thanks, you're right! I'm not sure why that happened, since this was recording direct into my camera, if I remember correctly. I wonder if it's a RUclips glitch that occurred at some point.
