De-Harmonization

[minifuzz5]

swinging baby!

[hapkido4]

nice keyboard...which roland is it?

[Lot2learn]

@hapkido4 FP-4

[homePicShow1]

is this a different technique to reharmonisation?

[Lot2learn]

@homePicShow1 similar except trying to purposely create more dissonance.

[RobDerbyCollege]

Are there any famous pianists who play standards and use non-typical harmony a lot? (and sound good)

[gelchert]

@RobDerbyCollege What kind of harmony are we talking? I think the first well-known pianist to use different harmonies for standards was probably Bill Evans.

[diazhungi]

omg, please teach me! you're awesome man! I've been practicing piano all the time, but I can't doing it right, I think I have no talent at all :'C

[Lot2learn]

@diazhungi Thanks for your comment.

[Modes9]

It falls somewhere between Ritchie Beirach and Cecil Taylor. I would pay to hear it live, but you'll never sell it to a non-musician audience in a Lady Gaga world...

[Lot2learn]

@Modes9 Thanks Eric. Yes I agree...

[p1l1a1y1g1u1i1t1a1r]

dissonant, but so damn smooth. love it!

[Lot2learn]

@p1l1a1y1g1u1i1t1a1r Ha, ha - thanks! ;-)

[danielrinck]

[Julian7alejandro]

[luigiperso]

[Lot2learn]

thanks for the comment. ;-)

[robertojimenez204]

You Should for sure!

[robertojimenez204]

I can't agree more with Raydo612...You are a real ear openner my friend. Have you published something of this stuff? I have checked the chromatic aproach of Dave Liebman but i like this far better!

[Lot2learn]

Thank you for your comment, I am glad you enjoy this. I have not published any books.

[rayado612]

Sharing with others what take you an extra effort to learn is a sign of a great teacher...THANKS FOR SHARING.

[Lot2learn]

I appreciate your comment - thanks!

[robertojimenez204]

Holy s*&%...!!! ¡Man...you can get kick out oft a gig playing like that...i Love it...!!!

[Lot2learn]

Thank you for your comment Roberto.

[golden2314]

do u have to read music to play this type of stuff?

[Jedum]

holy, AWESOME!!!!!!

[barimando]

Miles did not compose Autumn Leaves Joseph Kosma did.

[Lot2learn]

I meant it as a play on words. Instead of a re-harmonization it is a de-harmonization because I purposely tried to avoid the "normal" harmony and explored some dissonant options.

[maraja21]

I like your chords position... do there's a daily exercice for the left hand?.... i mean something for to learn all these positions? I'm trying to list your position from all your videos but it's not easy.... could you do it?

[gorotheone]

thanks for posting your videos i am a jazz guitar player and i learn a lot studing your solos, thanks for share it

[spielemusik]

thanks for posting Mr. Friedman...my dad and i have enjoyed your posts...as a beginning student, i've recently started to appreciate dissonance...the other interpretation of this classic tune i've grown to love is chick corea's version from his akoustic band album...thanks again for your time and effort

[Lot2learn]

Thanks, I appreciate your comment. Yeah, that Chick album is great!

[themountainviewguy]

certainly deharmonized ... what is the familiar standard ... its nothing i recognize, but it sounds great, very mentally stimulating to listen to ... very good.

[Lot2learn]

Thanks for the comment.

This is very loosely based on the standard "Autumn Leaves"

[fedalxis]

sounds like a free flight! its like a painting - i see it actually!

[Lot2learn]

Thanks for the nice comment. ;-)

[RCV1963]

WOW Very cool... This swings and you make it sound so easy.. I know it's not! I love your videos! please put up more!

Thanks for sharing your talent!

[hammerguy1511]

what do you think about when making this music please be percise if you can. It sounds good.

[BrutalBeef666]

brilliant, i'll do that next time some bozo on the saxophone shouts out "let's do autumn leaves!"

[misterswings]

congratulations

very good work

i love this harmony

vive le swing

[darkrhino93]

IT'S FANTASTIC

like OH MY GOD fantastic

yeah

as a person who's just started to experiment with jazz piano, if i'm ever anywhere near that creative, or precise in fingering, i would be ecstatic.

well done :P

[Lot2learn]

And I thank you.

L2L

[KROGERSGROUP]

that was creative

good job!!!!!!

[t42x24t]

nice

[claitontesch]

is there a specific procedure for doing it? can anyone help me do this kind of stuff???

[klassikcrazy]

Amazing!!! Extremely talented!!!!!!!

[tjjazzpiano]

I'd buy the album!

[Lot2learn]

:-)  Thanks TJ.

[ian4c]

It's my Cup of Tea!

Excellent. I wish I had your ability!

Your fingering is magic. And I like the 9's

Ian

[Lot2learn]

Thanks Ian!

L2L

[jazzmk]

Sick sick playing Roger....just awesome!!! High energy!

[chadbull]

Another great clip. This definitely works and as far as not being everyones cup tea. Well let me get another cup of this southern sweet tea.... a Very Cool Concept indeed. Let me got to the bull pen and practice

[mentalmalfunction]

very cool indeed

[PianistaItaliano]

Seriously...in some part of this music, I see perfect suitable as a scene in a movie film or cartoon.

I love the pause at 00:45, it make's me smile, because I recalled a scene of the pink panther. Here in all youtube there are not enough stars to define this amazing great work.

[GOTIRES]

amazing

[tjjazzpiano]

now all you need to do is play it backwards lol

[7notemode]

I cannot think of any other recording of this tune that goes as far out as you do. The harmonies are very sophisticated. They shouldn't "fit", but they lay in place perfectly. Also your sync with the backing track gives the illusion that you are leading the trio, not the other way around. This is major skill that comes from all of your trio/group work. Bravo! *****

[damildlyshreddah]

I enjoyed this :)

[Vayshen]

Cup of tea eh? I can say it's a fun way of playing. Also good exercise as you say. Truly a breath of fresh air and authentic to your playing (suits McCoy) :)

[PianistaItaliano]

This is very interesting system De-Harmonization. A cue that sure also helps to make various creative lines. I like it, this nice and very complex. Many Stars

[jonorulz]

wow....great!
