I worked as an elevator operator for a rooftop bar in an old building in NC. I also happen to love “elevator music” and would often have it playing in the elevator on my Bose Bluetooth. Yes the job had its ups and downs.
I'm a member of yours and here's another lesson that makes it hard to focus on.. Every time I see the new lesson I want to try it out and end up there are to much on my practice log ..😀😃😃
Excellent. Just what the doctor ordered. 😊 Essentially a rock musician, I sort of not like listening to Bossa myself. But it may come in handy at parties or slow moving celebrations. And you can‘t present and teach it better than this. 👌 Thank you, Jonny!
As a beginner in piano jazz I wonder if you could show some methods I can use. I like Begge Adair. She plays the melody first then plays jazz in the next verse. Can you like do Mary Had A Little Lamb in key of C, then the jazz version in the second verse like Adair. Many thanks.
I mean, Bossa Nova is so much more than elevator music. Still, these guys do good tutorials and this is useful for getting started. A girl I know from Colombia called Bossa Nova elevator music once, which kind of surprised me. Maybe for some younger people it is. But elevator music in America at least used to be mostly Muzak. Literally a corporation named Muzak that supplied an audio system and tape cartridges of easy listening versions of popular songs, including some softer versions of rock n roll songs, for businesses and hotels and office building elevators and lobbies. So in the U.S. calling something elevator music implies it's just kind of fake easy listening background music. Real Bossa Nova actually was an original musical style and art form. Don't be fooled by the 'gentleness' of the sound. Listen to the horn lines Stan Getz played with Antonio Jobim etc. and you start to appreciate it musically.
