This lesson tells you why jonny may is in a class by himself! It’s fantastic! I will need to study it for weeks but the way he breaks down the concepts is world class. Thanks a million PWJ!
Outstanding lesson as always Jonny. For anyone that's interested, Shell Voicings were popularized by Bud Powell and others, Rootless Voicings by Bill Evans and others, 4 Part Close is an Iconic Sound Of Jazz Piano and Big Band, used by Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Erroll Garner, George Shearing and many Others. Quartel Voicings were popularized by McCoy Tyner, and the Red Garland Voicing was also popular with Erroll Garner.

This is the best summarization on two note chord voicings I have ever seen. I plan on using it as a long term syllabus lesson for myself. Thank you Jonny
This is the kind of lesson i was looking for many many years ago how to comp behind a soloist and i am very grateful that i can download the lesson sheet unlike the others there are some of the lesson i couldnt download them i asked why but till today no any answer
Amazing as usual. With you Johnny we learn that to play jazz and contemporary piano we do not have to be fearful to play different notes. Basically there aren't wrong notes😂
Amazing that most instructors think that everybody knows what they learned since they were 7yo. Notice how fast they talk like life is beautiful. it would be nice if they take their time and explain one chord at the time and stay there long enough after repeating several times.
This is for beginning jazz piano students, not for beginning piano students. In other words, the teacher assumes you know the fundamentals and is just teaching you how to apply it to playing jazz.
Most content developers assume that people will pause or replay their videos as needed to get whatever level of detail they might need. Also you can replay the last 10 seconds of a video by simply double tapping on the far left side of the video.

Errol Garner was not allowed into the musicians union because he couldn't read music!
Thank you for filling in these extra pieces of information.

Type error; two hand chord voice, NOT two note voicings.
WOW, now that was a lesson!

And remember, all notes are chord tones if you extend the chord far enough.
I bet you dollars for donuts that it was his birthday 🎂 🎉🎉🎉
