‘Maiden Voyage’ – jazz piano lesson. You will probably need to view this in high quality to see the transcription – youtube.com A very clear copy of the video, and the annotated midi file, with LH and RH bass/treble split, is available (free) on my website at www.bushgrafts.com This was one of the first compositions that required ‘modal’ playing – it had sections in 4 key centres – each 4 measures long before changing key. Usually the chord quality for each is a dominant 7th with suspended 4th (D7sus,F7sus, Eb7sus, Db7sus) and unusually (for its time) the suspended chords were not resolved in the usual way. At the start, , I used another chord quality on each 4 bar key centre – using Major 7th #5 chords instead.
‘Lush Life’ – advanced jazz piano lesson. This is one of the more difficult ballads to play – though there are many versions to check out – try the wonderful version by 7notemode – uk.youtube.com or from Italy, theimprovisor au.youtube.com The notation on the video has been adjusted so that it fits the original form of the song, even though the first part is played out of tempo. My idea is not so much to make a perfect ‘arrangement’ – rather I hope that some piano players might get some ideas from studying the annotations, notation, or piano view. As with my other videos, you probably need to watch it in high quality ( uk.youtube.com )to get a clear view of the notes etc. There is a much clearer free-to-download video at www.bushgrafts.com and on my DVD, a copy of the bass and drums ‘backing track’ to play along with, and also a printable pdf transcription.
