    My favourite crazy Caravan is Erroll Garner's ­- have you heard that one? It's amazing and it feels somewhat similar with the offbeat groove

    • @JeremySiskind

      Ooh, I haven’t heard that in a while. I probably stole from him unintentionally! Erroll is such a master it’s intimidating!

    Well done! Nice arrangement. Dick Hyman does an incredible version on his Live from Maybeck album with some wonderful stride in the bridge

    great arrangement. my teacher Dr Roland Wiggins called planing "Chromatic Coupling". ...and your use of the upbeat thumb rhythm kills. killer techniques all around.

      For confused readers, it's a Grateful Dead song that does just what J did...

    Amazing video as usual Jeremy ! I have both your books (though I bought them on Amazon in Europe, I didn't yet know you had a website...). Though I study classical piano performance, I've been enjoying going through your solo jazz piano book for a few weeks now, and I definitly recommand them to anyone with decent technique and theorical understanding.
    I'm glad I found your videos here, as they complement the book perfectly. In fact, if I may be so bold as to point out one thing I've been missing in Solo jazz piano, it is practice songs recommandations. For instance, if I'm practicing the stride patterns in the first chapter, what standards from a real book could I apply them to ? Or what are good not-too-hard songs to practice two hands voicings in ? I've been working on the songs you use in your videos for now, to great success, but felt I could have used a handful of recommanded easy-intermediate songs for each part of the book. And so on, as it's hard for me to pick songs that really work with each exercise (of course you could play everything stride-style !). I do listen to your recommanded recordings and take some inspiration though.
    Of course, this one - Caravan - is way too hard for me at the moment ! And I did try... but to make it sound good, you need so much ! Definitly makes me apprectiate your wonderful playing here even more !
    Thank you very much

    Wow, that was really inspiring, right from the first 'simple' version!
    I specially liked how you brought it in in bits, a bit like Steve Reich, as if the caravan was arriving from the distance!
    Do you know the music of Graham Fitkin, another favourite who combines jazz and classical influences? ua-cam.com/video/CHTomJrqvn4/v-deo.html Just thought you might like!
