Saw Peter with Christian McBride & Inside Straight at the Vanguard last Thursday night, brilliant performance! One of the best shows I've ever attended!
For guitar players I HIGHLY recommend Satin Doll. If you learn to play it all in one position you end up learning 4 out of the 5 major position shapes and their respective 2 5 1s in shape which as we all know, knowing your shapes is everything in guitar
DAYUM!!! Merry Christmas to me. I love this break down you guys are doing here. The first time I heard "Hey, It's Me You're Talking To," was in a spot in Brooklyn on Flatbush Ave called the Up Over Jazz Lounge/Cafe (my memory is failing me) sung by a vocalist Miles Griffith, which I bought his CD when the set was over. Thank you for doing this. Happy Holidays to the both of you and yours.
In all probability, Victor Lewis got into parallel minor third modulation by playing "In Case You Haven't Heard" with Woody Shaw - where the solo changes (but not the head) modulate in minor thirds.
I discovered a song with Coltrane and Tadd Dameron from the 1956 record 'Mating Call' called 'On A Misty Night'. I did not know of this record. It is suprisingly catchy hardbop for 1956.
When the world seems like its falling apart, when I'm being bombarded with negative vibes from every news outlet, when im feeling FOMO from the AI and Crypto bubble, when i fear for my unborn childrens lives in the future...I can click on a youll hear it podcast and forget about it all. Refreshing. Rejoice!
I think it should maybe be "You can't ONLY information yourself into being a better player". You cant really be a good player without information, even if it isn't music theory but it's just stuff you've figured out in your own way, it still is information you are using. However, the information alone doesn't do anything. Once you have the information, you need to work it a lot to allow that information osmosis to really make you better by just having more inside of you to come out. Like a good moisturizer helps your skin glow
I feel like those Donna Lee enclosures, those classic bebop lines, are warning me like one of those state park rules signs where there's a list of dozens of things you're not supposed to do, like no hiking, fishing, hunting, trapping, camping, swimming, dogs, litter, motor vehicles, horses etc etc on and on, with the print getting finer and finer as it goes, like an eye exam chart. It's inevitable that I'm going to break something. On the one hand, the breakage issue, with the music, is not only a personal aesthetic choice but also a lack of internalizing the sound and genre conventions, because the root cause is like how many psychiatrists does it take to change a lightbulb. But when I DO like that style, I like it very much, so there's still this curiosity. I want to explore that park, but I'm still, after a few years of messing around, trying to play different jazz songs or idioms, where I want to bring the dog along, despite the rules clearly stating no. Maybe I should take some intermediate steps, as my listening tastes slowly evolve. So far, the straight bebop lessons have been like finding myself in a "how to paint like Mondrian" class when usually I fingerpaint in the style of Dali meets Rockwell. My artistic interests are broader than my capabilities... but when the interest is curiosity more than love, even if I can see a broader trajectory heading that way, then discipline suffers. Okay, TBH practice for that kind of playing is annoying. The previous stuff is the reasons for why that's the case, personally. Does it transfer to the body at some point, or does it stay as head music?... I don't mean about danceability, rather I mean playing intuition. I think consistency of practice would help. Actually I know it can. I'll try to make that possible. For a couple of YEARS now (yikes) I don't get many opportunities, so during the rare chances I get, I usually noodle around for fun, and then times up before I exhaust that. Back when I had access to a piano keyboard every day, I had a good mix of noodling, learning technique, and figuring out songs (or learning them from videos/sheet). I could sacrifice (weird living situation) the Wavestate's keys... they're already low quality, and there are only 37 keys. There's not much muscle memory practice that can happen with that, but I can learn more songs and changes riffs on it, and get consistent practice that way
All of the other examples, I was like ooooo, that's nice. But of course it was the first one that took me down that path. Even just one of these examples could keep me practicing. Monk's especially fun, and Tunisia is a great one. I gotta get back on the So What voicings... I was doing that for a couple of weeks (when the piano was ever available) but I've slacked off on that too.
Greetings from Thailand. I'm enjoying this lesson so far, but I noticed the correlating Spotify Playlist is blocked as private. Would you fine gentlemen be so kind as to unblock it for us all? 🙏 😊 ❤
A consolation may be that it shouldn't be necessary to learn the five Monk tunes in all 12 keys before one is "good to go" since we're talking about learning synchopation.😂

Thanks for including Evidence. There’s a lot in that tune that a bass player like me can learn about PRECISE syncopation.
19:15 "you know you can't land all the planes all the time" I laughed so hard at that saying 😂
"Some people will just have to die in a plane crash" lol
Love the latest looks Adam, looking really sharp.
Thanks for the knowledge guys, love you
I love how you make learning jazz so approachable without "dumbing it down". Great video as always!! Time to learn some monk tunes
Brilliant and entertaining as ever. Thanks guys.
You guys are the best!
Thanks guys. Top list. Top stuff
Love you guys I look forward to all of these episodes and practice applying what you teach! I love the banter too 😂

"Softly, as in a morning sunrise", by Sonny Clark is really helping me with the minor 2-5-1s😀
Brilliant! This has been one of my favorite topics for years. Thank you for fleshing it out. : )
Thoroughly enjoyable episode.

I was impressed when you got Jeremy Siskind at OS but this time you got Inspector Gadget!!???
First and second bar could be the inspiration for Barry Harris 6 diminished theory.
Peter Martin is the only pedant I can get behind
Two stones with one bird 🐦
I wonder if the keyboards could send MIDI on different channels and color the notes differently per player.
Does Peter try and wind up Adam on purpose lol
I think so lol

Adam, did you get the V8 plugin? The Rhodes is sounding extra crispy!
21:10 what about Reflections?

Does anyone know what is the “open studio” “you'll hear it” podcast intro song? The original one with the fast piano riff.
I know about and love a Clark Terry record before Peter? That might be a first
Intro song?

Thanks for the heads up! The playlist should be public now. 🎹
It is! Thank you for fixing that and for your excellent content. 👍

OS Pro preview of coming attractions ...
I watched the whole thing on 0.25x speed
That's Jazz
Donna Lee on x2 speed 😅
Get your GP together man
🤩🤙🎹☕️
Monk sounds so weird to me 🤷 sounds like he is playing a piano with his feet wearing wellies
If Monk doesn't sound weird to you, get a check-up.
You must be a pretty boring cat.
What is a "gas ballad"? A google search didn't reveal anything definitive. A search on AI had it hallucinating in no time flat. Edit for punctuation.
Never mind ... I just figured it out. Acronym ....duh!🤦♂
