Roger, I revisited this, and you are so on to something here. This is the fullest expression of your talent that I have heard, and that is saying something!
Feel harmony and lines all spot on, excellent. I was trying to play this today and it is hard! Speak no evil is one awesome album, I hope for some more tunes from it.
Yah man, I hear ya. I might pull a VVBGR and video response on this one. You should too! Roger, this is such a good tune. Can't wait to see what you do with the rest of the album.
It's clear you have this tune in your bones. What is most interesting is that you have played in a different style than is usual for you. You use fatter notes further behind the beat with more space in between. This is really 'of the period'. Wow! This knocks me out, Roger.
Listen to the original by Wayne Shorter over and over - immerse yourself in each player's performance until you can sing each part note for note. Then apply your own musical vocabulary over the form of the song to construct a meaningful improvisation. Developing a musical vocabulary for me involves playing what I like to hear. If I can really hear it, then I can understand it and can figure-out how to play it. It won't make much sense trying to speak a language if you don't understand it first.
You wouldn't happen to be able to do a segment on the intro of this song, would you? Your annotations are always great for big pictures, plus that intro is so ominous... it's more of the Fee Fi Fo Fum than the head is! Never stop recording.
The MIDI keyboard was generated using a program written by PGMusic called PowerTracks Pro. It was resized for better visibility using the video editing program Adobe Premiere Elements.
I really enjoyed this Roger - I find it such a difficult tune to convincingly improvise over as you do here, and I appreciated the advice you give in the 'About this video' above. The midi keys view is excellent with no 'drop -outs' - could you explain how you did this? What software?
This channel is the best jazz resource I've found so far on the internet for the piano. Please keep doing this! You rock! (are you a professional piano player or you do this just for fun?)
fantastic playing' Is it possible that you can show me when and how to apply those runs??They sound like they are being played in a minor key. I s that correct?? Looking forward to your reply tHANKS A lot Theo
+Lot2learn I find it really hard to play chords in the left hand while I solo over a form, how did you learn to? Great solo by the way, rhythmically interesting, I just sound like Bobby Timmons when I play.
Lots2Learn, you are a pros' pro. How can you be this good without playing ALL the time and making money at it.
I'm loving it!!! Great upload...one of my favorite tunes by Wayne Shorter...woo-hoo!
Wow, This is Great, I love it.

AMAZING Work!

Hey, Roger!
Great playing, as usual. Love the graphic visual effect as you push the keys. That is a definite way to help one to learn.

That C-Db on the beginning of the solo hit me like a mallet.
I LOVE THAT SONG!
this was a lot more helpful for soloing on this song than Shorter's. Thank you haha
