    One of my favorite parts of your shows is your opening jam. You guys should seriously consider making a duet album.

      Agreed! They should also make a closing jam. The album is a fantastic idea, i really think they could take jazz piano to a new horizon with some funk, bee bop and soul mixture

    When I studied Bach in college, they made us learn to play any three voices of the chorale and sing the fourth. Maybe the best single exercise I've encountered. This is like that.

    Adam is becoming TOO powerful now. Going punch for punch with Peter is no joke - not like there’s many who can even do that in the first place 🔥🔥 beyond inspiring. You guys continue to read my mind and tackle all the jazz piano topics and questions I’ve always wondered about but didn’t know how to articulate. It’s eerie. Thank you for this unbelievably high quality info and insight you guys share with us on a regular basis.

    Love these discussions. I think Evans has mentioned really being into the great arrangers, Herbie too. I think that helps with imagining voices creatively and independently. His rendition of Goodbye which takes some things from the original arrangement comes to mind. Herbie’s intro to Stella on Miles in Concert also is great example of the rootless idea. Those 6ths in the beginning, wow!

There used to be a video of them doing Twilight at Smalls (or 55Bar) but sadly disappeared from utube. Hays was playin a Rhodes with some hvy distortion - magnificent organic playing and band just smokin...

    I'm glad I watched this one rather than caught audio only. The checked version of Peter is comically uncomfortable to watch! I totally know the feeling!
    Maybe it's an interesting practice for those of us whose brains move a little fast.

    Hey YHI, what would it take to give Peter Martin his own Chordie display when Adam is using it to demonstrate a concept? It would be so valuable for those of us who are slow sight readers while accomodating Peter's style in these musical dialogues. When both keyboards come together in a single display, it just turns into a visual jumble.
