This is a very good lesson on minor 2-5-1 because as a non-pianist I'm used to Major 2-5-1 which is the most thought progression. I'm motivated to dig deeper into jazz piano. Thanks.
Tremendous lesson. Wow! Packed with the most beautiful rich and spicy harmonies from the golden age of jazz. I finally now understand the drop two voicings and how the added space between notes gives the harmony a distinctive sparkle.
At 6:00, you explain how to determine spice notes "above root." Is that "counting of notes" from the root's major scale? I thought so but noticed when you counted four notes from D for the 11, you used F key as third note instead of F# Hoping for clarification... great lesson, Jonny!
Great lesson to learn how to comp on such songs but how do you get from here to playing the songs with the melody notes on top? There seems to be a big gap to fill between the two….
In tunes like these the melodic notes come directly from the chords that are dressed up with added 9ths, 11ths, and 13ths. I’m pretty sure the implication is once you have these harmonies securely under your fingers the melody more or less falls into place. It’s predicated on some familiarity with the songs in the standard repertoire.
OMG wow. I love the ease you play and explain wit, Jonny. This is some type of rocket science stuff for mortals, but you make it look like childs play. :) Can almost imagine being able to learn it, too (to some limited extent:))). Thank you for your work.

Well taught Johnny! Great stuff to know!!
Jonny! You are one of my favorite piano gurus. Keep up the awesome content!
What is the relation between the "spice notes" and the melody notes that a singer would sing?
At 6:00, you explain how to determine spice notes "above root."

No-one ever explains how to memorize hundreds of melodies
