Great video, I’ve been learning wave and thought it felt too much like how I play any other standard so this should help. Also I’d personally love to hear you talk about more Latin styles since I’m certainly guilty of lumping them together.
Nice! I’m not an expert in Latin styles, but I’ll think about it. Generally the two we cover in jazz are Brazilian (boss’s nova, samba) and Afro-Cuban (salsa, 12/8 feel).
Lovely video, I've played a lot of Bossa nova in the past but rarely solo, this will be fun to try out! I love the Choro thing too, never heard that before.
Folks who enjoy this might also like Ernesto Nazareth (1863-1934), a Brazilian composer sometimes compared to Scott Joplin - but using choros, tangos, etc. The scores are freely available as PDFs. His stuff is just FUN to play, and it's a way to get your hands on different styles of Brazilian music.
Nice lesson!!!! True, there is a great shortage of famous jazz pianoplayers exposing bossa nova style in their work. Sometimes Monty Alexander is hinting to it but he ends up playing a charleston with straight 8 s.
That was a great video, I learnt the bossa groove last year and been wondering how you would improv over such rigid LH, what you say makes total sense. Love the accented tip on 3 and shared noted technique too. Thanks fir clarifying Jeremy 😁🎹
Great lesson Jeremy. As a Brazilian it was really nice to see how you feel our music :) Usually non Brazilian people plays the bass line with the two notes very strongly and it is weird for a Brazilian. We almost don’t play two like C C G G C. Basically we play C G C. Hearing you play choro (we also say chorinho) was nice too. There are many great choros such as “Noites Cariocas” if you want to check it out :)
Phew! I’m relieved! Thank you! (And I’m open to constructive criticism - i know there are things that are hard for non-Brazilians to really get right stylistically).
Great lesson, very good to see bossa nova is so difficult also for professionals! By the way what you did at about minute 10:20 is really nice, it reminds me of Lyle Mays style. Could you please explain that technique maybe in an upcoming tutorial?
A very enjoyable and informative video, thank you. You're right about there being a lack of recorded solo piano Bossa Nova performances, and I wish there were more. I love the Fred Hersch Jobim album even though he doesn't play any "text book" ones on there, but on the "Alone at the Vanguard" CD he does one that's pretty traditional which is great - "Doce De Coco".
Jeremy great video! I've been binging your Channel for weeks since I discovered it! You touched on a topic I haven't found in your videos, which would be solo piano on 'scalar' or fast themes full of notes. (I'm actually thinking of different ways of performing choros solo piano) For this type of piece, fast notesy, I'd be really interested to hear your opinion, would you focus on a basic 137 LH, maybe a sparse walking bass, stride like, or would you approach it differently? My interest is ultimately i Brazilian music, but there are plenty fast jazz standards like Donna lee which fall in a similar category. Thank you so much for the channel.
So refreshing! I used to dread playing Girl from Ipanema, now I feel I have direction and new ways to practice! :)
Yay! Thank you!!!
This is so great. Chef’s kiss.
Yay, thanks, Aaron! See you at a Jon Brion concert soon, I hope!
Although Bossa is a difficult groove to simulate on solo piano it is still possible.
An example of great pianist played bossa Nova solo piano is Kenny Barron. He played Black Orpheus solo beautifully.
Kenny Barron can do anything and is a really great student of Brazilian music. He's really one of our living legends!
Outstanding teaching and playing! This is gold. I will spread the word!
Yay! Thanks so much!
'lifting the tissue out the of the tissue box'!! fantastic hahah
My favorite way to teach two-note slurs to students of any age, by the way!
@@JeremySiskind ooh what do you mean by 2 note slurs?
This helped me. And I love the higher register fills! I’m adding some of those to my own now. Thank you. 😎🎵
Great lesson, Jeremy. Thank you.
Thanks so much, Stuart!

Nice! Nazareth is definitely a brilliant composer. Good insight!
Love your videos jeremy 😊
Many thanks, Emmanuel! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

Manfredo Fest was a master of the Bossa nova piano, as is Elaine Elias.
Great! I’m not aware of either of them having solo piano albums where they mainly play bossa nova, but I’d love to hear about them if they do.
Wow, those magical subs at 3:52❤
Thanx, Maestro 🌹🌹🌹
You are very welcome, Brenda! I'll gladly accept your roses. 😂
Amazing!
Thanks! Glad you liked it! :)

@@JeremySiskind you’re a master! I wish I could play 1% of you play hahaha

I’ll try! Lyle Mays wrote a great Chorinho!

Очень красивая гармония!👏👏👏👍👍👍❤️
As a brazilian musician I can say that it´s Jobim.Beautiful.
Thank goodness for Jobim and his beautiful harmonies! I’m glad I didn’t totally mess up the style of your people!
Great Jeremy..this is our music😃👋👏🤜
I’m glad you don’t think I was totally wrong!!!

Where can i find the bossa nova style in your book?
Faltou o "swing" que só os músicos brasileiros tem.😊🇧🇷
You are the first person to be honest about this. The “span” of a guitar is much more graspable than a piano. Hence, the difficulty.
