Fantastic job of transcribing a wonderful solo by Bill Evans. I heard him live several times at the Village Vanguard in NYC in 1960's. with Scott Lafaro & Paul Motian.
Gerry Cappuccio Wow! Were you lucky! I only heard Scotty once live, and that was with Ornette!
The transcription is just as impressive as the solo.
No it’s not 😂 but it’s still very impressive!
WOW now that's block chords! Bill never ceases to amaze! Thank you for this! Wow. So very much to learn here.
Very cool! There's some places where I would retranscribe in a quarter triplet figure, he used it in probably 60% of this solo. I'm currently trying to arrange this on guitar to learn how to build elegant block chords on guitar
Superb transcribing ears there!
i beg to differ- So many things WRONG!
Yeah there are a few mistakes here and there, which are obvious, but I haven't transcribed so I don't know any shit about it
@@barneymcall Enjoy the video and shut up, or don't watch it. Simple
@@barneymcall Is this the real Barney McAll?
How someone could hit a thumbs down is beyond me...
how do you even learn to play block chords like this?
Fuck if I know. I tried learning this transcription a while ago and my left wrist started hurting.
@@UkuleleAversion It is what usually happens when you try to learn almost anything by Bill Evans.
Excelente trabajo!!! muchas gracias!!!!!!! saludos cordiales!
Some of these changes are wrong
Mad drop 2's huh?
They aren't actually drop 2's, he is doubling the melody note in the left hand.
More of a locked hands kind of thing
Bill does use drop 2 quite often but as others have pointed out, he's using locked hands here.
essentially the block chords... no more words, only pure love for the music and rhythm
Which Bill album is this actually from? It's definitely not Haunted Heart as he didn't do Green Dolphin Street on that album!
Mr Controversial The album is called On Green Dolphin Street
What great ears you have!!!
Bill just crushed that solo. That piano didn't stand a chance.
Thanks for this. Great job.
Not sure why the last two pages get blocked by ads. Hard to try and follow and play with the pop-ups. Is there a way to eliminate them?
It's very very odd to me that the intro to Green Dolphin Street on Kind of Blue, which is objectively the most famous version of the song, has no transcribed intro anywhere on youtube or the internet. No covers of Evans intro, no sheet for it, etc. The intro to this song is just absolutely god tier (on the Kind of Blue album).
Here it is! The intro & solo transcribed from the Kind of Blue version, enjoy! ruclips.net/video/URHe0dOXDe4/видео.html
Beautiful!
Should the Ebm7 at bar 5 not have Gb on top of the chord ? My ears tell me so. Great transcription btw
awesome!
watching this solo makes me realized once again that there is some level of music consciousness that seems (for me) so unreachable, but let's try to see how it works... and respect for the transcriber.
Gorgeous
Very great or should I say gr8? Anyway I could also say grade A
Fabulous
Very great job!
thanks a lot !!
Thank you very much!
Fantastisch solo AND transcription
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you again, now and then I try to play this and learn more every time.
Genius
Muchas Gracias !!!
Boom wow I love it
Great sound
The sound is magical!
10/10 great job
why don't people play like this anymore...?? now we get justin bieber and katy perry.. wtf is wrong with the world?
Imho it was because tastes shifted. As the more common music recordings got, the less complicated music got as to appeal to a wider audience.
There are hundreds of thousands of musicians that play like this my man... you just gotta look for them
@@GrumpyStormtrooper not hundreds of thousands haha, but yeah there are some geniuses like Bill Evans, not as great as him tho
It’s a yes from me....

How can you practice it so that it sounds so smooth ?
very very very slowly is my best bet
Block chords are basically inversions and are usually done with one note in the LH and the chord on the RH. You can also double the chords in both hands then move the inversions up and down without moving your hands rather than frantically moving more than necessary. There's a bit of room for invention so you just have to find the feel of it so you can freely move around with it and get the sound in your ears.

Amazing work of transcription, but Fats Waller and the entire stride and cocktail piano, the entire "old-fashioned" league for playing real, hum along MELODIES do more for me than this B bop stuff. Am I deaf or what, where's the melody here?
there is an actual head/melody to this tune (linking to the full arrangement this solo was taken from below). green dolphin is really nice give it a listen you might find yourself humming along after all, but yea this transcription is literally only focused on the solo section so no melodies in sight (though he does quote/reference it several times throughout).

Great Job! Thanks a lot!
WOW!
This must be great to the rest of you , but it doesn't sound anything Green Dolphin Street to me. I must have very small ears. I have listened to Oscar Peterson's version and at least you here the melody line occasionally. Transcription is terrific.
