Walter Bishop, Jr's Master Class: Comping & Chord Voicings

[Modes9]

It's awesome to be able to watch and hear a guy slowly voice-lead the upper structures. Thanks for making this available!

I agree with marsalone--this is an invaluable look into comping and chord voicings.

I wish they filmed this on a better piano. That clunky POS needs to be fed to a recycle bin!

Now, I love the beginning (and the rest of it of course). Aint that rhythm changes??? That sounds so amazingly AWESOME

Thank you for posting this. This Masterclass video is something that I'd only heard about but could never track down a copy. Very rare it must be. Thank Bret for filming this and taking the time to get the perfect angle of the piano keys. It makes it very clear to see what voicings Bish is playing during the Comping section and the Theory of 4th and Solo Piano portions of the vid and of course Bish breaking it down real slow and single note at a time during the Voicing section makes it perfect.
