World-class jazz pianist Geoffrey Keezer demonstrates how to practice pentatonics, melody, bebop and blues, all over one timeless form.
Can we just take the time to appreciate his playing. He got it going on!! 🔥
Yes. This is the approach Mozart and Beethoven would take often when teaching composition to a private student. Take a theme, or melody, like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (Ah! Vous Dirai-je Maman) and have the student compose a set of variations utilizing different textures and stylistic elements but retaining the original form and melodic outline. Just gotta say I love that piano playing. So clean and musically dynamic. Like George Shearing meets Herbie Hancock meets Russ Freeman.
Afterall, the man's name is pronounced "KEYS-er." just sayin'.
I’m a guitar player/songwriter who has been writing unpopular popular music for decades. I love watching videos like these despite understanding less than 1/4 of them.
I've played with musicians who when asked to play the blues go right to "blues scales". The outcome has often been, meh. I'll show you a blues by Bill Evans (the pianist) done not with a blues scale that will make you cry. Relying on scales is like a guitarist who plays "in the box". They're tools. Just because you can play a blues scale doesn't mean you are/can play the blues. OF course, what I just wrote is easier said than done. Really playing the blues, like everything else in music, is a learning process.
I've seen this a jillion times; a jillion times I can't even hear what he's saying because his musicianship is so loud. wow. what an artist
I was mesmerized and dancing along to his groove, and then a most rude ad break interrupted. I hate capitalism and I loved his playing! He’s fantastic
Best course I've ever heard
Wow, insane Geoff Keezer is giving a lesson here! A+ pianist!
What a monster player!
Just goddamn . It’s one thing just to play that but to be so articulate and just pull these tools out. So insightful.
I love how he goes saying: nothing wrong playing blues like the blues.
These guy´s SWING!!!!. Crazy good!!!!.
Had never thought of blues in this regard...what a brilliant way to add structure to practise.
Out there! So much in this lesson example my head hurts. But terrific stuff. And fantastic just to listen and watch Geoffrey play, a real treat.
Great video. What's really interesting is even at the end when you switched styles every 4 bars and said it might sound "all over the place," I actually loved it...it was lively and engaging to me as a listener. That's the way I like my jazz--and as a student of jazz piano being able to fluently switch up like that is an aspiration of mine. One day!
Fantastic ...no more words !!! So much usefull piano jazz lesson thanks a lot Jeffrey
World class level playing by the two, amazing!
Much to be learned here Geoffrey! Thank you!!!
Great introducing in how to combine anything in style and harmonics. This opens the mind - thank you!
