'It Never Entered My Mind' (Improvised piano solo)
This is a new version I have done of this great Rodgers and Hart ballad. Fourteen years ago I uploaded to youtube this same song, but I used the same arrangement idea originally recorded by George Shearing. He combined Satie's 'Gymnopedie No 1' and 'It Never Entered My Mind'. Click here to watch this earlier version ruclips.net/video/NltbA-Ppc6U/видео.html.
This recent version includes lots of annotations and comments. It was played from a simple lead sheet and includes a number of alternative ideas for harmony. This is a sample first page: bushgrafts.com/jazz/Samples/ItNeverEnteredMyMindFinaleSample.pdf
The full transcription for this, and also the Shearing inspired version are available ...

Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most - jazz piano tutorial.

Unfortunately I have not been able to post a you tube video for almost 6 months due to health issues. It is good to be '.. back in the saddle' with this one! This is a lovely tune with excellent lyrics. I played this using just a melody and chords lead sheet. The transcription came later with the notation on the video being derived from the midi file I recorded as I recorded my playing on my ip...
'Chances Are' - solo piano
Просмотров 6 тыс.2 года назад
I did not always like this 1957 song - made popular by Johnnie Mathis. However, I have grown to like it as it makes an excellent song to play solo. The rather 'cheesy' intro of course, which just about all of the cover versions include, has to be played! There is a free to download sample first page transcription of this on my website www.bushgrafts.com/jazz/Samples/ChancesAreFinaleSample.pdf

'What Good' - Michelle Benjamin with Doug McKenzie
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.2 года назад
Because of Covid, we hadn't done this for a while! It is another wonderful song written by Michelle. Michelle recorded the vocal over a simple backing track and uploaded the result. I downloaded the vocal track and added the accompaniment using a Rhodes patch on my Nord Piano 2. The notation was added later.

This is yet another great ballad - this one by Jules Styne. I do enjoy playing ballads as I think that my reaction time has slowed so that at 80 I really welcome the slower pace of a ballad.

New York State Of Mind - Jazz piano tutorial
Просмотров 11 тыс.2 года назад
This is the Billy Joel piano classic - I like the version(s) of Mel Torme! Lends itself to a slow bluesy 12/8-ish feel. I have used an intro and outro that is more or less like the original Billy Joel version, and it is in the same key. Sorry about the adverts added - the copyright holders claim the right to include adverts to the video! However, the transcription can be purchased on my website...

I recorded the 'trio' choruses of this 15 years ago!

    It WAS Peter Nero !!! I cant believe I blanked out like this ! I'm online looking for his songbook my jazz piano teacher had me get when I was 17 ! Along with Oscar Peterson's books ! I was classically trained and the book combined jazz classics like this with classical pieces ! Another one I played was Body and Soul which mixes in Clair de lune ! I've put my piano aside for too long in life and now want to go back to it entirely... you've helped me reconnect with these memories ! And now I can find the book again ! Thank you ! Beautiful version ! 🤩 🙏🏽❤ 🙏🏽
