That new keyboard camera angle looks good, Isaac. Everything's there that we need to see now; it's easy to follow your fingerings. Thanks as always for this clear breakdown.
I’ve been learning jazz for about 8 years and playing guitar for 18 years now so I understand all these concepts and how it all works, I also watch every Barry Harris video there is but I’m kinda new to (jazz) piano so voicings are what kinda slow me up, I know how to build any chord but how do you know what way to voice it? like I can learn a Barney kessel or Kenny Burrell arrangement by ear on guitar in 10 minutes because theres not so many ways to play the same chord. But on piano it’s all split up and re arranged, at least it seems that way. If I try to learn a bud Powell song or something by ear on piano I’m lost
Coming back to this video, I find it interesting how fake books tend to list this turnaround as all maj7 chords. I played it like that for the longest time and funnily enough it still doesn't sound wrong. I believe (like apparently Barry does too) that a tritone subbed dominant chord can be a maj7 and still have the dominant pull. The maj7 of Db is the tonic C, but if you think if it through the G7 that's just a sus4. The notes with the most pull, F and Ab are both in there so it has the gravity of a dominant. It's just a way to make the V-I sound powerful even though the tonic is in the melody, like in the tune of Barry's, Like This. Explaining the Cmaj7 -> Ebmaj7 bit is less fun though, you just go to a chromatic mediant (related key center up a minor 3rd) and then go to its IV without V7'ing into it, like the nerds would say, a "lydian cadence" I'm totally not a nerd though
Yes I have seen this many times all with major 7s and have liked the sound of the maj7 sound while outlining the minor and darker notes of the key. Both sound good to me.
Thanks, Thank you very much, you have a very good way of explaining these elements, and I love the references to the theory that Master Harris exposes. congratulations master
Hi Isaac, I’m really enjoying the new style of video. I wonder if you could talk a little about whether eight notes should swing or should they be played straight. There seems to be differing views on the correct way to practice them. Thanks.
Great video! "In the still of the night" is one of my favorite tunes of all time. Gonna pull that trick next time I play it at a jam, which will be never because nobody knows that tune. Even with the outright legendary take on it by Bird with the choir. Truely lamentable. Btw I think Barry kinda loops the turnaround on Bud's Oblivion, at least on that one live footage that's up on youtube
Great - you've got the top view keyboard working. Congrats. Excellent channel!
I was VERY happy to see the title of this video.
on your keyboard you can use a light that shines from the side and not from straight so that it's more obvious which keys you are pressing

Your videos are so interesting, and not over produced. Please never stop posting.
Great videos👍👍👍

Love the overhand view thanks!💯🙌🏽
woah you figured a hybrid way of showing what you play, you rock
Yes I’m still trying to make it just right but I’m glad it’s working!

BH Has given me so much I feel I owe it to him to pay it forward! Thank you so much for your kind words
C minor pentatonics for the whole turnaround

Since you said you would use that as an accompaniment, does that mean that the scale outline you use could be the 1/6/2/5 instead?

That's EXACTLY correct. "Oblivion" is a big one. If I named every example the video would be hours long! :)
the camera setup is way better
thank you
thanks! Yes it's a work in progress
Nice. Dont know whats up but 4 commercials this time on one video.
Sorry, I'm just figuring all this out, I think I fixed it now
great content thanks!
@@isaacraz I don’t even mind them knowing that they’ve finally let you monetize your amazing videos
