Your intros and outros where you explain the history of the tune and how you go about playing it are very compelling, as is your playing. Great series!
Thanks Carl - much appreciated!
I've been looking forward to this for weeks!!! Coleman tunes are always a challenge! I think it's spelled Chippie with an I though.
Thanks for the spelling correction James, I don't know what I was thinking! I enjoyed making this one!
I don't think I've ever seen anybody play this on piano before, so knowing Ornette's work well I wanted to see what you'd come up with since you did Broadway Blues! Some good ideas in here with the bassline in particular.
Thanks James. I find it exciting to play Ornette's music on piano, since as you said there isn't much precedent. It's wide open. One way to approach it is to view the LH as a bass player and the RH as a sax or trumpet. Another is to use harmonies. Another interesting aspect of this is the question: Do you have to sound like Ornette's group when you play his music? I don't mean the notes, but the overall vibe. Same with Monk, etc. Many pianists sound great but then play Monk like a bad copy of him. Chick Corea is a pianist who plays Monk amazingly well, because he brings Monk's music to his own persona, not the other way around. Bill Evans played Monk this way too. You can do fun intellectual experiments with this, like pretend that Duke Ellington wrote Giant Steps. Would you play it differently then? Or maybe that you yourself wrote it. This would lead to different interpretations.
