A great teacher and musical analyst..breaks it up every which way with an infectious enthusiasm.
Love this comment...thanks!
Nice Very Nice .......... Thanks Kent.. A jazz club in Anchorage Alaska in the 70"s ( God I miss those days ) a sextet I was in for a long time we played this tune a lot.Thanks
Great tune...thanks for telling me about your adventure.
Hi KH! I'm happy to see you and ADEM are doing well.
Yes we are
Perfection all around.
Many thanks...love this song.
I like this tune when a trumpet and tenor or alto and trombone or 2 horns do the unison melody line.Yikes !! Love it.,
It's great with horns...better than a trio version.
Thank you so much Kent !!! Always loved this tune. One of the first jazz tunes I learn 50 years ago and tonight you’ve given me some fresh ideas!!
You always do. Thank you again
AMEN! Kent always brings his A-game! ♫
Thanks, good friends, and be sure to swing loose in the new year!!
I love you every new lesson. Big thanks for the Maiden Voyage. My 9-year old son recently started playing saxophone, I already made him play the few notes from the intro, I look forward to playing with him the whole thing
That's so great...I hope you will enjoy playing this song together...please send me a recording!
Great set up:we can now see your facial expressions AND your hands as you play. Thanx, KH. 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you too!
Always entertaining, always informative.
You really are a good egg. 😃👌🏼
And so are you, Mr. 20!
This song always takes me to the right place. Thank you sir
That's great to hear, thanks!
Thx Mr KH, you are giving me a fresh look, I always played it Dorian before !?
Dorian works too...just one note difference. Swing Loose!
Great Kent! Thank you and good to see you again.
This was a lot of work, but I'm glad I finished it...so your words are a reward. Thanks!
💕SO great to see you again in the New Year!💕
Happy new year!!

I never get tired of your videos. I watch them all the time. You’re a fantastic musician and a wonderful educator and have been an amazing guide for me into the world of Jazz music. Thank you :)
Wow, thank you!
Many thanks for the lesson Kent, from this jazz loving, but still much to learn, trumpet player.
I'm glad to have my video be good for trumpet as well as piano.
Another great insightful lesson and breakdown. you are a gem.
Wonderful compliment...thanks so much1
Thanks to continuing with studies of your book, I can grasp what your explaining in these excellent tutorials, even if I'm not able to play anywhere near fluently yet. Been a great start to 2021, thank you Kent.
Great to hear! Thanks, Stephen.
Great choice for our Maiden Voyage with you into 2021. Thanks also to Mr. Ego to christen the passage.
Cool, bro....I didn't think that Maiden Voyage was a welcome into the new year, but You are absolutely right. Swing loose!
Just wow! You are my favorite musical mentor. You bring it all together for me. Watching you play and listening to your running analysis is such a meaning and practical exercise. Happy New Year and Thank you Mr. Hewitt. You are a gift to anyone hoping to advance musically.
Wow, thank you! Fantastic comment...and it's going into the archives!

An awesome start to the new year, a very important song and a great breakdown. ALL of my fingers are crooked, it makes for interesting grips and notations... Love the ADEM Tattler, Thank You as always...! B-)
That's great, Donald....thanks so much!
Hi Kent. It's so beautiful and again so useful and interesting. Great lesson. And mybe the AlterEgoDominantMan is a new hope for a hopefully good 2021 :) So stay save and take care of yourself. Cheers
ADEM will do his best to make this year a better one. Thanks!
@@KentHewittpiano88 :)
Excellent presentation.Thanks.
So nice of you
That was great Kent..such elegance & personal style..love the rhythm of this piece & your teaching as always superb! Always love seeing ADEM..♥️😎
Phyllis....I yearn for your comments...you truly keep me going...xox, K
And you keep me going learning all this great teaching!! xox
That was an excellent tutorial on the essential elements of Maiden Voyage and you performed some very nice improv too. Thanks Kent. Great stuff!
Thank you kindly!
@@KentHewittpiano88 My pleasure, Kent. BTW, I forgot to mention that I love your stories, quotes and words of wisdom too, so keep’em coming! : )
Very useful lesson for me, those lefthand chord voicing changes bring possibilities. On 18:51 you play the C in as a passing tone on a Dbm9 (that's cool). Thank you very much ✌🏻
I apprecaite the observation and comment!
Really it is perfect 👍
I love your teaching and it is helpful to show the notes ❤️
Thank you! 😃
Kent this was great, so helpful. I like how you also used chromatics on the F chord, adds so much.
Glad you enjoyed it
Haha 😂 I thought the setting looked the same. I’m still laughing. Thanks for getting back to me. If you don’t it, I’m sure I can get domething. I just liked what I heard you playing over. .
Hang in there, brother...and please keep writing to me!!
No worries kent!! I will always follow you. Love your teaching, love your playing, love you book, love the person you are!!!
Fantastic
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks Kent. Enjoy your demos and coaching. So.. for these 7sus chords.. you could take the minor pentatonic off the fifth. For example, the D7sus. The Aminor pentatonic has all the notes.. but with the D7sus chord tones as targets.
Hmmm.. (edit) so four bars of C pentatonic (Lydian) over the D7sus, D bass followed by four bars of C minor pentatonic (Dorian) with an F bass for the F7sus. Big fun news for me.. old news for pros, I now see.
..and re-listening to your cover of the tune.. Wow! Beautiful. Much more in there.
Please write to me...and I can give you more detail...I'm trying to catch up on hundreds of comments...blessings!
Hey Kent , welcome to Alfred Hitchcock's 2021 freak show. :) I think you may have talked about your recording and Microphone set up before. I am wondering if you might bring us up to date on what you use now. Much appreciated, Jake
Nothing...just a Canon Powershot S-50 for video and audio. Very low tech. (need help)
i love this album so much herbie made so many innovations in modal harmony. my favorite is little one, ive been trying to transcribe it but its really hard. i have the modal chord progression down its just rly hard to hear his mixed chord voicings
Check this video to help w/ transcribing.

@@KentHewittpiano88 thanks! i will
great tutor sir. Hope u stay healthy and chill in this china virus epidemic
Staying well...and wish for you the same!
Great lesson Kent, thanks! Is the lead sheet available somewhere? I’ve searched in your book (which is great!) but couldn’t find it...
The lead sheet is on my website now for free.
Great Lesson! extra beautiful harmonies in this one - I find that rhythm on the last chord in the pattern tricky to "fix" in my head. Piano sounding much better. You using a different mike? (Once when we were out on piano deliveries and went to one of those places like a school where they have security, my mate Mike signed the visitors book as "Mr Mike Raffone" - no one ever noticed!).
That's cool...glad you liked the video !
Hello Kent, discovering your tutorials has really opened my eyes to new ideas! Thank you so much. I want to buy a hard copy of your book if possible. What is the best way to get your book?
You are very welcome. Please just go to the link website below the video and you will see a book page...thanks!
hello professor. thank you for this lesson. Is it possible to have the complete sheet music for maiden voyage? I can't find it in your book.
It's available on my website now.
Interesting. I’ve heard the story you told at the beginning now by a couple of different artists now. The exact same story. Gets the band together, ask if they know a handful of tunes, don’t call any of them and then play changes to mess with the band. I’m wondering if that speaks to more of this really being band leader culture at the time or if these stories were a myth for most people like walking a mile in the snow up hill both ways just to get to school.
I believe this is more common than you would think. Fortunately for us, it turned out as a positive experience. Thanks for the comment.
Man you’re beautiful! 😀
You are!
Hi again Kent
Do you have a playalongtrack with this video lesson? I know you once said you have band in the box. I bought that to. But way to complicated for this old fart.
If you go and can share I’d love it
Thank you
Bruce
This performance was recorded a year ago, and my computers have changed, so many backing track were lost...however I will look it up and see if I can find it.
I trust you.
That's big!
You must spend,a fortune on these bebop suits.
They usually come from 2nd hand shops...not expensive.
You need to get out in the sun your looking very pale. 😉
#1...What do you want from an Anglo-Saxon New Englander? Sun tan spas? Ha!
You did it!!!!! At long last. Thank you Kent. Now I’m going to listen. Oh hi mr ego man
@@KentHewittpiano88 I know my other half is about as pale
He'll get more vitamin D as soon as they invent an indoor/outdoor piano 😆
