It is a good one off product for learning piano fast without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my best friend Jordan at very last got cool success with it.
Very valuable video. Jazz people are not very good at explaining what Jazz is and rely on hype and flowery talk TBH. Finally someone demonstrates all the genres of Jazz.
Yo creo que lo que principalmente ocurre es que hay un secretismo generalizado, similar al de los que hacen trucos de magia y, en general, en cualquier gremio. No es tanto que no sepan explicar lo que hacen y cómo lo hacen, sino que no les da la gana. Pero como en todo, hay excepciones, y Hyman era una de ellas.
An absolute reference library 📚 of jazz history, piano techniques, musical insights from a complete musical genius… amazing to see some of Tatum’s runs ‘decoded’ for us mere mortal pianists lol.. Dick Hyman is incredible
The Jazz Professor Dick Hyman has the whole jazz history covered. He's the best person to make this kind of video and is the MUST for every music student and lover. Thanks so much!!!
What a shame no one thought to stick an overhead camera on some of the greats no longer with us. Art Tatum, Mel Powell, Teddy Wilson,Dodo Marmarosa, Basie etc. A superb video by a master of the idiom and instrument.
In the upcoming days I'm going to upload each lesson separately as some people may have bad internet connection or don't want to search for specific lessons. So stay tuned! Hope you guys like it 😄 Btw I know that this documentary was uploaded to UA-cam already but the quality was soooo poor that I just had to upload this one.
Nice Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (just google it)? It is a great one off guide for learning piano fast without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my GF after many years got excellent results with it.
Good luck! With theory like this you would be able to come up with tunes yourself instead of being dependent on some sheet music. That's why all those pro piano players only ask "yoo what key?"
I remember when the Interacttive App appeared on the scene .I got it immediately The best history of Jazz piano. great explanations, film clips of the masters , plus great etudes and tutorials and MIDI files on the virtual player piano. And Dick Hyman definately wallks the talk !To this day no one has presented this material better. Gracias Maestro
I watched all 2+ hours, fascinated by this. I also watched a very good piece on this history of jazz with Winton Marsalis and John Baptiste a while back.
@@KarlSmith-p5r I was also really surprised, I think Dick pointed out the most influencial people in terms of styles. He also didn't mention Fats Waller for example
DUUUDE!, THANK YOU!, ... I’ve always watched the dick Hyman clips that some channels have of this documentary. But you have the whole documentary!!.. THANK YOU MAN... seriously. 🙏🏼
Oh my gosh thank you so much for posting this! I had the CD-ROMs for this ages ago, and I was only able to rescue some of the MIDI files before obsolescence took over
It is interesting how the diatonicism of the early jazz came back in modal jazz but because the mode is the key and not the acrual key itself it has a new sound. So" history does not repeat itself but it does rhyme. "
Phil moore actually invented the block chords that Milt buckner copied from him which george shearing learn from him. But According Barry Harris Bud powell also played block chords like this just not as often as shearing which is where Barris a6th dimished scale comes. Further the block chord arramging technique was used as far back as barbershop quartets and louis Armstrong. Count baisie and duke ellington.
Eubie Blake also already used the Block chords technique, not like heavily specific but it's interesting to hear the origins. You can hear it in his Chevy Chase composition
What a magnificent work of art. You should be congratulated for your time & effort in putting such an enjoyable & Informative history of jazz piano. In your next effort you may consider the addition of Latin Jazz piano Thanks again. Joe Torres
i was looking for this cd on youtube.... what the heck are the odds that you are the one who posted it exoticpianoman 😂😂😂 thank you once again! by the way do you know what are the chords being played for the section about erroll garner starting from 1:03:05 to 1:03:21 i cant seem to get it down
I thought of Goliwogs cakewalk by Debusy in the first section before he said cakewalk. I thought that sounds like a simpler version but now I have to go Google when Debusy wrote it.

Wow thank you for this!!! What An amazing pianist and so much information!!! I loved it!!! My only question is why thelonious monk and Duke Ellington were not mentioned as they are the 2 most recorded jazz artists
That's also my question 😂 but there is another Documentary series James "Jazz - a documentary by Ken Burns" now that one is good 👌🏾 UA-cam doesn't allow me to upload the series so people would have buy/rent it somewhere
@@itsRemco I really liked that he talked about art and Willie the lion but you can't talk about bebop without thelonious monk haha or talk about jazz piano without Duke Ellington but I guess he wanted to cover the more less known but for me it's a sin to have mc Tyner and not thelonious monk
@@chrisSkordPiano yeah I know man, but I think that the purpose of this documentary is to mention the piano styles instead of individual composers. He also didn't mentioned Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, John Coltrane etc. That's why you have to check out the Jazz documentary by Ken Burns 😁

The irony of Art Tatum is that when his playing is transcribed reliably and you start to work out the fingerings, you may hear that you are playing "wrong sounding notes" according to what you might have expected. That, I think, is from the "following through" the phrase where there might be passing chord harmony played. And without that Art Tatum velocity, the passing harmony loses that flow that gives the thrill to the listener. Or so it seems to me.
That's a thorough analysis 🔥 I think that Art Tatum'a velocity is a big part indeed. With the AI videos I made it waa a strange job to appoint the fingering as some grips made no sense (in slow motion)
Estoy plenamente de acuerdo. En la música clásica ocurre igual: hay ciertas obras que sólo suenan "bien" cuando se tocan a su velocidad normal; pero cuando se están estudiando y, por tanto, se tocan muy lentamente, no parece que tengan sentido ( aunque se toquen las notas correctas ).
I think Art Tatum would have approved of your dextrous, and eloquent Body And Soul. He was uniquely gifted. Google André Previn tête-à-tête with Oscar Peterson. I am now 65, played from 3 until Dupeytens Contracture in 4 & 5 on both hands stopped me striding. I would love to hear you play James P. Johnson's "The Charleston". His original QRS piano roll is available from "ItsRemco" on UA-cam. You are a gifted teacher ... 🖖
According to Barry Harris as well Hank Jones was pretty much playing everything that Bill Evans was playing before bill did it. Im surprised only passing mention is made to Barry harris and none to hank jones.
Barry Harris was one of those musicians who was brilliant when he played and was a very great teacher, yet when he spoke, was often full of shit. Hank Jones was one of the best in the business and a gorgeous player, but Evans was a genius. Harris also said terrible things about Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Keith Jarret, which he was entitled to do, as it was his opinion, but it's dangerous when some of the things he said become gospel amongst young musicians.
Si hubiera que citar a todos los pianistas habidos y por haber y además dar ejemplos, ni Hyman ni nadie habría conseguido todavía completar esa antología.
Underneath the keyboard to the right you see a pianola installation, which is typically American to do and costs as much as the piano itself. I found it absolutely crazy. For the cost of such a useless installation, you could equip a whole band with the latest and best electronics and bass and drums and what not. We got a Yamaha grand of €50000 for free. When asked about the exorbitant price , the answer was that it had a pianola installation costing $28000. The idiots thought we would like that. No no no no. We would have preferred to spend that money on PA, drums, a Yamaha Motif XF8, a Nord, and so on. We have this now for 3 years and I used it only once for reheasal purposes but quit because it was not flexible enough. Completely nuts. We don't live in 1880 any more, although perhaps Americans do, half of them seem to got stuck in 1787.
@@itsRemco Nou, die Hyman speelt heel wat nummers waarvan ik dacht dat die alleen nog in pianola's te horen waren. Misschien dat ze dat daar leuk vinden omdat het tot hun 'heritage' behoort? Niettemin blijft het zonde van het geld dat ik liever anders had besteed.
@@itsRemco Haha, nee, die tijd is voorbij. Je kunt mijn Knight K-10 piano gebouwd in 1983 kopen als je wilt. Heel fijn instrument. Ik heb al jaren een Roland en sinds kort eindelijk een Motif XF8. Ik treed overigens af en toe nog wel op op een Yamaha vleugel. Mooie bassen heeft die. Maar de laatste keer was 29 februari 2020 als begeleider van zangeressen.

@@itsRemco bro did a whole scale of M10ths like it wasn't even extra lol
Holy shit this guy has big hands
He had to start the Db-F 10th with his other hand, though! Which a lot of players like Tatum and Peterson were fortunate enough to be able to reach.
I guess Dick isn’t a Monk fan then, would have loved to hear his thoughts on how Monk deconstructed the Harlem stride approach….
Mejor construir que deconstruir.
Who is playing the intro song please ?
Dick Hyman and probably some of his friends. The title is CHeek to Cheek
His section on (another look at block chords) starts woth Barry Harris 6 dimished scale but he doesn't credit him with it. Odd
