    A couple slight revisions to what I describe in the video + a few subtle differences between the Ella Fitzgerald recording and the reference lead sheet shown on the screen:
    Measure 4 of A section - I refer to this as a minor ii-v to secondary dominant. It could also be thought of as a iii-vi of the tonic (Ab). Either way, the Ella version actually plays a tritone sub there by putting Gb in the bass and voice leading with a E (okay, Fb) in the strings to outline Gb7.
    Measure 5 of A section - The Ella version has a Bb in the bass, so technically this bar is Bbsus7, as opposed to F-7.
    Measure 4 of bridge - I call this a Backdoor ii-V7, but technically the Ella version just stays on ii-7 (Db-7).

    The other day I saw Jacques Pepin's video on how to debone chicken in 1 minute. Here you show how to learn a standard in 5 minutes.
    Good news: It's about right, I can learn a standard in about the same time I need for deboning 5 chickens.
    Bad news: It in fact takes half an hour to debone a chicken.

    Chad ,, You are hysterical... I am a tenor sax player and have pretty good ears for learning standards having played hundreds of Weddings , dances , Bar Mitzvah;s etc.
    But I do get the connection, playing by ear listening to a melody off a recording of which I have a ton of CD's. Yes , Listening is the real key to successful learning tunes and not using music books which are really a musical crouch that destroys your improvising glands , No other way to put it .. Also ,, learning the Lyrics is a key ingredient to playing songs in your head ,, Yeah,, we actually play off our brain not our ears ...But what do I know , just an ordinary run of the mill wedding player ....Bobby G.

    This so wonderful. I love how humble Chad is - he’s a truly awesome musician. Showing us how to figure out a new tune, it’s harmony and melody from scratch. I’m gonna buy into a load of Ella recordings now to try this approach 😀😎👏🎷

      For alto I would say Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt, Cannonball Adderley, Paul Desmond, Phil Woods and Kenny Garrett. As far as Tenor players Coleman Hawkins, Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz, and Michael Brecker are who I listen to the most. Obviously there are a lot more amazing players you should listen to but those are some of my favorites.

    Very impressive! I've wanted to see something like this.
    Did you really need to "learn" this piece --
    or could you have just casually listened to it once and then improvised along the second time?
    I get the impression you do not have to know the melody exactly for the purpose of improvising a chorus. The melody could turn one way or the other but still stay with the chords.

    My kids show me their favorite songs on UA-cam while I am sitting at the piano, and I listen to a few bars, then play it on the piano exactly as they play it. I actually paid my way through college as a ghost writer for bands (truly awful ones) who wanted a score for their music because they wanted to copyright their material. They would send me cassette tapes, and I would send them back a score. It took me about 10 minutes per song.

    A college graduate with a degree in music is expected to be able to listen to anything and write it down, or play it. You are right when you say that sight-singing and ear-training goes hand-in-hand with music theory. You can't really separate one from the other. Because if you have the ear training, but not the theory, then you don't know what you are listening to. And if you have the music theory without the ear training, now you can't look at music and hear it in your head, because you have no point of reference. I had 4 years of it (that's 8 semesters). The final exam is you get music paper, and they let you hear a section of a symphony 3 times, with about 10 minutes in between repetitions to give you time to write things down and connect notes, etc. You then have to score out all of the instruments in the orchestra by ear, like a few dozen types of instruments. It is challenging. The trick is to use spacing for rhythms, and then just use quick dots with the pencil to write the notes on the first pass. Then between passes, you fill in the notes and connect them. But a college-educated musician is certainly expected to be able to instantly hear anything and write out the harmonic analysis, as well as all of the notes played and sung, and all the rhythms in the percussion as well.

    So for about $100 grand in student loan debt, you too can gain the ability to play or write down anything you hear... LOL. I ended up punting on a career as a Concert Pianist, and I have been a software engineer for the last 3 decades. Hey, it pays the bills. And I can afford a piano, which I would NOT be able to do as a Concert Pianist more than likely. In fact, during the pandemic, most of them are unemployed and they are really struggling.
